The Odyssey star Tom Holland reveals a surprising confession ahead of its theatrical release. Matt Damon and Holland recently joined in an interview to talk about Christopher Nolan’s latest movie and a fun discussion about classic films led to the confession. Its cast has been promoting the film across the world.
Matt Damon shocked at Tom Holland’s embarrassing movie admission while discussing The Odyssey
Holland admitted that he had never watched The Matrix in a recent interview. His answer caught Damon completely speechless. Damon surprisingly responded, “Are you kidding me?” before laughing at the unexpected revelation.
Holland explained that he had no real reason for missing the 1999 sci-fi classic. “I don’t know why I’ve never seen it. I know that I would love it, but it’s just never been a movie I’ve put on,” he said.
Damon admitted he was actually jealous instead of criticizing his co-star. He said Holland still gets the rare chance to experience The Matrix for the very first time. Damon also wondered whether the film would feel just as groundbreaking today. He considered how many movies have borrowed ideas from it over the years.
The conversation also highlighted how much Damon admires the film. He had always wished to appear in the Matrix. During the same discussion, he also praised Edward Norton’s performance in Primal Fear and said it inspired him and Ben Affleck while writing Good Will Hunting.
The Matrix remains one of the most influential science fiction films ever made since its release in 1999. Its action, visual style, and ideas about reality have inspired countless filmmakers and continued to attract new audiences for decades.
The casual conversation gave fans another moment from The Odyssey press tour after its grand premiere event. Damon and Holland will soon share the big screen when Nolan’s next adventure comes to theaters on July 17.
