A bundled up Matt Damon departed from Nobu on Berkley Street in London last night.
Damon was worried about playing a rugby player in Clint Eastwood’s new film Invictus. The actor portrays the six foot four inch former South African captain Francois Pienaar but was concerned about his five foot ten inch frame wasn’t enough.
He said: “He’s quite a physical specimen. He’s 6ft 4in and about 230 lbs and I’m 5ft 10in. It was a lot of work to capture Francois physically, but then I spent time talking to him and understanding the stakes of this movie.”
Although reassured by director Clint Eastwood, the 39-year-old actor embarked on a rigorous training regime in an attempt to improve his physique.
Matt said: “Clint used tricks and camera angles to make me look taller than I actually am, but, before we started filming, I spent six months doing
rigorous physical training trying to change by body.”
The 40-year-old will be honored on ABC during the special “Hollywood Salutes Matt Damon: An American Cineamatheque Tribute,” on a date to be announced, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
