00:00Matt Damon is spotted on the set of his new movie looking totally unrecognizable. Ben Affleck's

00:05bestie is seen sporting a bushy gray beard and washboard abs as he films Christopher Nolan's

00:10flick The Odyssey in Italy. The film tells the ancient Greek story of Odysseus and his perilous

00:15journey after the Trojan War. Matt plays the leading role and it appears he's getting very

00:20into character with his physical transformation and his seaworthy trousers, consistent with the

00:25tale's chronicle of Odysseus' 10-year trip home. In fact, we got a preview of the early years of

00:30Matt's character when he made an appearance at South by Southwest to support Ben at the premiere

00:35of his movie The Accountant 2. For the event, the actor was seen sporting longer salt-and-pepper

00:40slick back hair and a smaller version of his growing beard and mustache. In addition to Matt,

00:46Nolan's flick is set to be star-studded with a bunch of other A-listers on the cast list.

00:51Several big names include fellow Oscar winners Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron.

00:56Zendaya and her fiancé Tom Holland are also slated to be in the picture,

01:00as well as Robert Pattinson, Elliot Page, and John Leguizamo, among others.
