Charlize Theron got remarkably candid about seeing a special side of Matt Damon while filming Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” The 50-year-old actress admitted that she found herself watching her co-star after seeing him out of the flowery costume he wears as Odysseus. Although Theron acknowledged that trying out her married colleague felt “fallacious,” she didn’t try to hide her appreciation for his physical transformation.
Theron made the revealing comments during a recent interview promoting “The Odyssey.” “I made this movie with him… I’ve seen him without all of that suit on,” she said of Damon.
Theron then admitted that she had difficulty taking a look at the actor normally after seeing his physique during production. “It’s weird. I’m, like, watching him weirdly,” she continued. “I’m taking a look at his *ss. I shouldn’t try this! That’s just fallacious. He looked amazing, yes.”
Damon stars as Odysseus in Nolan’s upcoming epic, while Theron is among the many high-profile performers appearing alongside him.
