Matt Damon has revealed a dramatic physical transformation for his role in director Christopher Nolan's upcoming film, "The Odyssey."
On the "New Heights" podcast with NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, Damon said he dropped to his high school weight for the part. He did not specify the exact weight or the character he will play.
The project marks another collaboration between Damon and Nolan. The director is known for large-scale, practical filmmaking. This suggests the weight loss was a specific requirement for the role.
"The Odyssey" is a new, original screenplay written and directed by Nolan. Few plot details are currently known. The film is highly anticipated following Nolan's Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer."
