kind of offended Chris because he came over and he said what'd you think and I just kind of blurted out I have no notes which was to me the greatest thing you could say to another writer but when Emily met with him like a week later she was effusive in her praise and very articulate and he was like no it's better than I got from Matt I just got he had no notes he had no nose yeah Chris's eye it was a little better than Damon's reaction to it hi I'm Emily Blunt hello I'm Killian Murphy hi I'm Matt Damon oh and we're here and we're here with The Hollywood Reporter talking about our Hollywood firsts it could have been Star Wars because I'm a Star Wars kid but but everyone's Aston yeah I know but it's the first time that like because I was seven yeah came out in 77 I was pre in the summer I was probably six it was the first time that I ever went and got completely captured by a movie experience where I was taken to some other place that I didn't and I just thought it was amazing and I wanted to be Luke and Han Solo I wanted to be all those guys and so I went home and immediately started dressing up like them and playing like them and you know well the one of the first films I remember watching was Old Yeller did you guys ever see you yeah and I remember being just like destroyed by it and wanting to do a movie with a dog the first audition I went on was for the four feathers that shaken oh my god really directed yes Heath did it he's did it and I ended up doing the table read for them even though I knew I wasn't going to get the part but I was like 17 and a table read with Heath Ledger and I was like oh the first audition I did was for a for a play in Cork called disco pigs and and you got it yeah and I never done anything before my in my life it was my first professional gig actors love hearing that story my first audition yeah you know what you know that confidence of Youth where you just you don't think you don't know anything so yeah the first big Hollywood paycheck I got in my mind was I got 25 000 in 1990 for doing a TV movie called Rising Sun and uh I bought my brother a car and I put my mom through her PhD program and that that was a really cool feeling I think I bought like um a record player and or a sound system no because it record players weren't they weren't as cool as they are now yeah I feel like I moved out like I think that was the first I got I rented an apartment I feel like that was the first but being able to not live with my parents I know mine is a this animated movie called Spirit it was the first movie that uh and that that was a good one for the kids yeah I think that's like the only movie they've seen they saw Mary Poppins was the first one I think come on yeah I think I put it on and walked away yeah but then I think it's strange for your children to watch you like they have it's like you really are somebody else and it's disconcerting for them and it was disconcerting from my kids because especially with Poppins it's like a I look different I had this like wig on I sound different well they kind of know you at a soul level and so to see you as something that you they know you're not yeah stranger yeah but they're very underwhelmed you know they're very honestly fans no they've never seen people I've never seen it no I think they might if they watched the Batman movies when they were old enough but most of my stuff is highly unsuitable I met Kelly and John and I went to see Killian's play before we did quiet place two together I mean we were so desperate to work with him obviously but and then when we did quiet place two we were we were like thick as thieves quickly and it was so great for us then having this kind of shared experience this shared history to go be thrust into like a married couple and I think you get something for free when you work with people that you've worked with already and yeah and it just it kind of transfers onto the screen particularly for playing a couple with history we didn't meet till yeah so this yeah but you guys till this interview yeah Matt doesn't do off-camera I didn't know if that was public knowledge but and I don't want other actors around when I'm on camera yeah we met for the uh audition for Adjustment Bureau in like 2000 we've known each other for far too long Matt lives in my building so I I'm actually not used to seeing you in regular shoes I only see you in slippers it's very strange when we come down for dinner I just wear slippers I haven't seen you in shoes for a couple of years I think I remember Chris coming in and it was a staggering script and visceral and captivating like the trauma of living with a brain like that was so palpable in the script and I was so scared I wouldn't understand it it was really overwhelming and it was the first script I've ever read or ever even heard of that was written in the first person yeah so it's Oppenheimer is using I I'm doing this and I'm doing that I'm now walking over here I'm not and it's just like oh my God and so by the end of the script I just I was totally overwhelmed and I kind of offended Chris because he came over and I I and he said what'd you think and I just kind of blurted out I have no notes which was to me the greatest thing you could say to another writer you just go like well look man I I have I have nothing to say this is amazing but uh but when Emily met with him like a week later she was effusive in her praise and very articulate and he was like no it's better than I got from Matt it just got he had no notes No No's Yeah Christmas I am a little better than Damon's reaction to it may have been like one of the best groups I've ever read for sure yeah and the scope of it the ambition of it this the the ambition of it the book is so dense and there's so much history and he's kind of woven all of it into this it's like every frame of the movie is so dense and Rich and how was it for you reading it in the first person exhilarating you know because it's completely subjective yeah you know and that's what he intended to do the movie was to make a lot of it through oppenheimer's eyes and experience it as as Oppenheimer was was experiencing it thank you for enduring our Hollywood first
