Christopher Nolan triggers 'fangirl' in Matt Damon: Here's why

Christopher Nolan has a fan in A-lister Matt Damon, who revealed that he made a pact with his wife to take a break from acting, but specified that the deal would be over if the director called.

In a chat with the Oppenheimer cast in a roundtable interview, the Interstellar star opened up about his couples therapy with his wife. 

“This is going to sound made up, but it’s actually true. I had – not to get too personal – negotiated extensively with my wife that I was taking time off," Damon told his co-actors.

Referring to Nolan’s recurring casting calls, Damon went on, "I had been in Interstellar, and then Chris put me on ice for a couple of movies, so I wasn’t in the rotation."

“But I actually negotiated in couples therapy ­– this is a true story – the one caveat to my taking time off was if Chris Nolan called,” The Martian star then revealed.

“This is without knowing whether or not he was working on anything, because he never tells you. He just calls you out of the blue. And so, it was a moment in my household.”

Damon tied the knot with Luciana Barroso in 2005; they share four daughters.
