Matt Damon “fell into a depression” making one of his worst movies
Matt Damon has recalled the time he “fell into a depression” while making a project that was not what he “hoped it would be”.The actor – who has starred in a number of acclaimed films through the years, including Good Will Hunting, The Talented Mr Ripley and The Martian – did not name the film he was referring to, but remembered feeling regret during production.“Without naming any particular movies…sometimes you find yourself in a movie that you know, perhaps, might not be what you had hoped it would be, and you’re still making it,” he said during an interview with YouTube channel Jake’s Takes.“And I remember halfway through production and you’ve still got months to go and you’ve taken your family somewhere, you know, and you’ve inconvenienced them, and I remember my wife pulling me up because I fell into a depression about like, what have I done?”Some of Damon’s more recent films, including 2017’s Suburbicon and Downsizing, were critically panned.The actor recalled the reaction of his wife, Luciana Barroso.
