Matt Damon has a simple explanation for how he landed the lead role in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. According to him, just about every other major star in Hollywood said no first.
During a promotional interview with Fandango, Damon sat alongside Nolan, Anne Hathaway, and Tom Holland to discuss the upcoming film. When the interviewer asked him about the timing of the role and why it felt right at this stage of his career, Damon explained that the scale of Nolan's vision demanded a level of maturity he simply did not have earlier in his career.
