Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland got concerned on “The Odyssey” set when they heard their leading man, Matt Damon, screaming over and over again in his trailer. Was Damon in pain? Or having a blowout fight over the phone? Pattinson had questions and later discovered that Damon was simply blowing his voice out so he could sound older as the battle-weary Odysseus in Christopher Nolan‘s epic.

“Matt was in the trailer next to me and he was making these noises,” Pattinson said during an MTV U.K. video interview. “He is such a nice guy … I thought he was on the phone and I thought he was a complete psycho. He was just screaming and screaming and screaming. I thought he was having a really bad toilet experience. He was just blowing his voice out just to sound older. Like, really, you’re taking years off your life by doing this.”
