Matt Damon just shared how prepping to play Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film totally changed his life.
On Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, he talked about the challenge of "getting jacked in your 50s," saying it meant a full lifestyle overhaul: think strict workouts and major diet changes.
