Why Did Matt Damon Feel Foolish On A Film Set
During a 2019 episode of The Off Camera Show, Matt Damon was asked about how he feels starting a new film. The actor responded by saying that it was a fresh feeling working again after a two-year hiatus. Sharing his experience while starting to film Ford v Ferrari, the actor said,
“The first day I was on set, I was in these pants and I hadn’t, I kinda been avoiding the fact that I was going to work, so I didn’t take the pants and break them in. I had a cowboy hat on, it didn’t feel comfortable on my head and I had cowboy boots that I hadn’t broken in… On my way to set I just thought ‘this is really dumb.'”
