Matt Damon on acting the part

THE life of a Hollywood A-lister isn’t all glitz and glamour.

While making his latest film, the sci-fi action picture Elysium, Matt Damon had to work in an environment known as ‘poo river’.

He also shot a scene that was so tough one of his co-stars went down with pneumonia. Oh, and the training regime he undertook for the role made him “really, really grouchy for six months”.
