Embrace Difference, Says 4-Foot-6 B.C. Performer Devyn Dalton, Damon’s Odyssey Double
Damon said Dalton doubled him in a forced-perspective giants scene, as the film opened with an estimated $261 million worldwide, Universal Pictures said.
- During a Happy Sad Confused podcast appearance, Matt Damon credited his stunt double, Canadian performer Devyn Dalton, for her work in the epic action fantasy The Odyssey, praising her muscular build.
- Forced perspective techniques created the scale difference for the Laestrygonians sequence, avoiding CGI. Director Christopher Nolan used performers of contrasting heights to depict the giants looming over Odysseus.
- Standing around four feet six inches tall, the Vancouver-based artist has more than 90 credits spanning stunt work, motion-capture roles, and acting. She maintains rigorous training in boxing, yoga, and martial arts to support her physical performances.
- Dalton felt "so humbled" by the viral attention after friends tagged her name in the social media video. She said embracing her physical differences, rather than being stereotyped by her size, enabled her to secure diverse roles.
- Having portrayed Cornelia in the Planet of the Apes films, Dalton credits the Vancouver stunt community for introducing her to the industry. She has transformed into characters ranging from zombies and demons to motion-capture creatures across her 17-year career.
