Matt Damon’s stunt double in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is 4-foot-6 stuntwoman Devyn Dalton; filmmakers used her height to create the illusion of man-eating giants. Dalton doubled for Damon in a scene involving the giant Laestrygonians. Damon praised her on a podcast as having “the greatest arms” he’s seen, saying they were nearly 100% his arms in the movie. Dalton said her job is to disappear into the character through intense study and training. She welcomed the Oscars’ new stunt design category, set for 2028.
