• Film 'Odyssey' In-Country Press Conference

Director Christopher Nolan drew laughter by offering contrasting praise to Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, who worked with him on 'Odyssey.'

The in-country press conference for the film 'Odyssey' (directed by Christopher Nolan) was held at the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 3rd. Attendees included Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, producer Emma Thomas, and director Christopher Nolan.

The film 'Odyssey' tells the story of the hero Odysseus, who led the Trojan War to victory, embarking on a journey to return to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Matt Damon plays the role of Odysseus, with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and others in supporting roles.

Earlier, during promotional activities for 'Odyssey,' Matt Damon sparked discussion by saying, "This is my third film with director Christopher Nolan, yet I've never heard the word 'perfect.' Zendaya said she heard it, but I haven't."

Matt Damon added, "I still haven't heard the director call me 'perfect.' I hope to hear it soon. Because I'm optimistic, I believe I will one day." He then laughed and explained, "We joke a lot. When Zendaya said she heard the word 'perfect,' Tom Holland was with us at the time, so we joked that 'we didn't hear it.'"

In response, Charlize Theron joked, "I loved every direction the director gave me. I enjoyed filming so much that I didn't even realize I hadn't heard the word 'perfect.' It seems Matt Damon needed that praise."

When asked if there was any unspoken praise for the two actors, Christopher Nolan said, "First of all, Charlize Theron gave a perfect answer. She is perfect," while also adding, "Matt Damon is not bad." He then quipped, "I am British. 'Not bad' is considered a compliment in my culture."

Meanwhile, 'Odyssey' is scheduled to be released on the 5th.
