How did Christopher Nolan contact Matt Damon to star in The Odyssey?
During his recent interview with People, Matt Damon confirmed that Christopher Nolan, even in 2026, operates without a cell phone. Previously, Christopher had revealed that he does not communicate via text or email. Opening up about how he got contacted to do The Odyssey, Matt claimed that it was the British filmmaker’s wife, Emma Thomas who “had texted me, ‘Are you around for a call today?’ Because Chris famously doesn’t have a phone.”
As per Matt, it is Emma who always gives them the heads-up whenever Christopher is going to call. He said, “And then you get a phone call from a nondescript number, because he’s just picking up a line at Universal Studios.” Interestingly, Matt claimed that even Christopher himself doesn’t know “what number it’s going to be.”
