Affleck's Wild 'Odyssey' Praise for Pattinson

Matt Damon shared that Ben Affleck was profoundly impressed by Robert Pattinson's performance in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey." Affleck reportedly spent considerable time discussing Pattinson's portrayal of the villainous Antinous, describing it as akin to "a guy running into an avalanche." Damon highlighted Pattinson's skill in embodying cowardice and making his character detestable, noting the actor's dynamic presence.

Affleck's extensive praise extended beyond Pattinson's performance, as Damon mentioned receiving a call he'd waited 45 years for. Affleck's deep appreciation for the film was evident; Damon stated he spoke about it for an hour after a single viewing. Notably, both Affleck and Pattinson have a shared history as Batman. Affleck also received a special, rare invitation to visit the "The Odyssey" set with his children during its six-month shoot.
