Christopher Nolan Still Doesn't Own a Phone and This Is How He Contacts Actors
Damon said Thomas texts actors first, then Nolan calls from a studio line, even though he still does not own a phone.
- Speaking exclusively to People, actor Matt Damon revealed that director Christopher Nolan relies on his wife and producer Emma Thomas to coordinate calls, as the filmmaker famously does not own a mobile phone.
- Nolan calls from a "random Universal number" while picking up a line at Universal Studios to minimize distractions and maintain focus on filmmaking, often leaving recipients unaware which number will appear on their screen.
- Damon recounted that Thomas texted, "Are you around for a call today?", before Nolan called to discuss The Odyssey, surprising the actor who thought they were simply catching up.
- The actor previously negotiated a "Nolan exemption" with his wife, Luciana Barroso, during couples therapy, allowing him to take time off except when the director called.
- Now starring in The Odyssey alongside Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland, Damon joins a project Nolan developed without pre-casting actors to avoid limiting character potential.
