1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Matt Damon stars in Christopher Nolan's new film, Oppenheimer, and

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: it isn't out of the ordinary to see an A

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: lister take on another high profile role. But what is

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: odd is that this job was literally the only one

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 2: Matt was able to say yes to because of the

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: pact he made with his wife. Christopher is one of

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Matt's favorite directors he's ever worked with, and an opportunity

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: he always cherishes. He tells Entertainment Weekly. This sounds made up,

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: but it's actually true. Not to get too personal, but

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: I negotiated extensively with my wife that I would take

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: time off for the sake of our relationship. I've been

13
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: an Interstellar, which Nolan directed, but then Chris put me

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: on ice for a couple of movies, so I wasn't

15
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: in his rotation of actors. But I actually negotiated in

16
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: couple's therapy, the one caveat to my taking time off

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: was only if Chris Nolan called, and so when he did,

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: it was a moment in my household. The words of

19
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: Matt Damon, Oppenheimer's out Now

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood
