Matt Damon was brutally smacked down by Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood while filming Invictus. The Martian star spoke on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friendpodcastabout Eastwood abruptly telling him not to “waste everyone’s time,” as he wrestled with a South African accent for the 2009 movie. “So I was playing a South African rugby player, and that’s a really tough accent to do.” The Good Will Hunting lead said he had spent six months working with a dialect coach in Florida trying to get his accent up to scratch, but when his opportunity to use it came, he was hurried along by the Dirty Harry legend. “The very first take, I did it... he goes, ‘Cut, print, move on.’ I go, ‘Hang on, hang on, hang on, boss. I want to, you know, I want to do another one... He goes, ‘Why you wanna waste everybody’s time?’” Damon said it was done with “kindness.” “His whole mentality was… your crew will go to the ends of the Earth for you if as long as you’re not taxing them on every shot.”
