Matt Damon, who worked with director Ridley Scott on the sets ofThe Martian,revealed toGQthat Scott didn’t care about his similar role inInterstellar.
“That was the first thing I said to Ridley [Scott]…Interstellar had not yet come out and it was not a big part, but I am a guy alone on a planet and I don’t know if I should follow it up with a guy who is alone on a planet.”
He further continued,
“Ridley goes, ‘Nobody gives a f**k about that’. I’m glad he said that to me because I took the leap…”
