00:00Before you watch the scenes,
00:02the director and the cast members of the film
00:08of the Odyssey!
00:10Yes!
00:10You can tell Matt Damon!
00:12Actually, my friend Matt told me...
00:15It's amazing!
00:17This is the hardest thing she had
00:19in her almost four decades of movie career.
00:23So, watch this!
00:25My...
00:26The luckiest!
00:26Conversation!
00:30Mga kapuso, dito ngayon sa Mumbai India
00:32para makausap ang biga ng pelikulang
00:34The Odyssey
00:35si Matt Damon at si Tom Holland
00:37at si Christopher Nolens.
00:41It was a nightmare in all the right ways.
00:43Yan ang pabirong sinabi ni American actor Matt Damon
00:45tungkol sa hirap na pinagdaanan niya
00:47to play Odysseus,
00:48ang hero sa 3,000-year-old Trojan story
00:51ng Greek poet na si Homer.
00:54Ito na nga raw ang pinakamahirap na pinagdaanan ni Matt
00:57sa kanyang 38-year movie career.
00:59It just required so much effort and expertise from so many people.
01:07We all were pushed harder than we've ever been pushed.
01:11Having worked with Matt twice before this, what was that one factor that you saw in him
01:16that you decided he is your perfect Odysseus?
01:18If you look at Matt's other performances,
01:21he's often an accessible everyman.
01:23You know, whether he's playing the character in The Martian
01:25or We Bought a Zoo
01:27or Good Will Hunting or whatever.
01:29But he's also Jason Bourne, this kind of cold assassin.
01:34Odysseus needed certainly both of those things.
01:37He's an actor of incredible range.
01:39Tom, you said that Matt is exactly who you hoped he would be.
01:42So what can you share with us about him as a person, as a mentor?
01:46His optimism and his joy and his passion for the work.
01:50It feels like that hunger and drive to achieve something that has never been done before
01:56was exactly what it would have been like at the beginning of his career.
01:59You know, that torch has never gone out.
02:02It's maybe even gotten brighter.
02:04And for me, as an actor, to see someone who is leading by example
02:09and, you know, knows every crew member's name
02:11and has a personal relationship with everyone on set
02:14really gave me so much to look up to and to learn from.
02:20Anne said that she wishes her sons would grow up to be like you.
02:23Oh, that's very sweet.
02:24You're a dream son.
02:26That said, as a son, what are the teachings of your parents
02:29that molded you into the man that you are?
02:32I think never take anything for granted.
02:34The moment you start taking those things for granted
02:36is the moment that you'll get lost.
02:38Hollywood is a crazy place and fame is a really interesting thing to deal with.
02:43And staying tethered to the ground and remaining true to the person you were
02:47before all of those amazing things happen
02:50I think is a really, really important life skill.
02:53And my dad used to do this thing to me when I was a kid
02:57when I was growing up and I was making movies
02:59where if I had a moment where I was being difficult or something
03:02he would go, God, you're such a movie star.
03:04And it was such an important lesson to me to try and prove to him
03:08like, no, no, no, I'm still your son.
03:11He also said that you're so good at directing
03:14that people overlook the fact that you're a wonderful writer as well.
03:17So there are so many lines that you wrote in The Odyssey that hits the heart.
03:22For me it was, leap of faith you have never yet made.
03:27Is there a leap of faith that you have yet to make in terms of cinema?
03:31It's a very, very good question.
03:34And not what I'm prepared to answer.
03:37I mean, yes is the simple answer, but yeah, I'm not here to expose my weaknesses.
03:42The Odyssey is essentially a journey and every chapter in a person's life in itself is a journey.
03:47What is the most important journey to you?
03:51The whole thing is a journey, you know?
03:54It's about trying to grow and evolve and do better in every facet of your life
04:03and experience the wonder and joy of life and build real relationships with people.
04:10You know, particularly in your home life, you know, becoming a father and all of what that means,
04:21that responsibility, but also the care in those relationships.
04:25And yeah, I think it's all really connected.
04:30The work that we do is very, it draws on our own lives.
04:34And so, there's a deep connection between our purpose, you know, and our work and the things that we hold
04:41the dearest.
