Matt Damon

Matt Damon worked with Nolan on 2014 sci-fi epic 'Interstellar', in which he played NASA astronaut Dr. Mann.

In ‘Oppenheimer’ he played General Leslie Groves, the director of the Manhattan project which was responsible for the development of the atomic bomb during World War II.

Revealing what it is like to be directed through a scene by Nolan, he said: "Chris has walked you through the dynamics and the scene. You’re so well armed with information when you go in to play these scenes that there isn’t anything to worry about. It’s just about executing. Chris is so relaxed. Even if you ask him for another take, he’s like, ‘Yeah, sure’. As a director who makes these massive movies, it’s very rare to see great acting in big movies. All of his movies have great acting and remarkable performances because he understands that part of it, which is a big part of what makes movies good.”
