Key Points:
- On the set of "The Odyssey," Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland were concerned when they heard Matt Damon screaming repeatedly in his trailer, initially fearing he was in distress or having an argument.
- Damon was actually straining his voice intentionally to sound older and battle-weary as his character, Odysseus, in Christopher Nolan’s film.
- Damon underwent a significant physical transformation for the role, losing weight to reach 167 pounds through strict diet and training, a stark contrast to previous roles where he gained weight.
- Tom Holland praised Damon’s dedication to his preparation, calling it "amazing."
- "The Odyssey," featuring Damon’s transformed portrayal, is set to release in theaters on July 17 from Universal Pictures.
