While the movie\u2019s cast list may be a who\u2019s who of Hollywood A-listers, it is Devyn Dalton, a stunt double in the film, who seems to have the internet\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

While appearing on an episode of Happy Sad Confused podcast, Damon<\/span><\/a> revealed that one of his stunt doubles in the movie, which he described as the \u201chardest\u201d and most \u201cchallenging\u201d project he had ever done, is a woman.<\/div>\n

\u201cMy double was a woman, a female stunt performer who had the greatest arms I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d Damon said, explaining that she appears in the shots where the Laestrygonians, a race of man-eating giants, are seen looming over Odysseus. The scene is even used as one of the film\u2019s posters. In the scenes, Dalton, who is 4ft 6 inches (137cm) in height, stood in for Damon and faced off with 7ft-tall stunt performers, which allowed Nolan to use practical effects instead of CGI.<\/p>\n
