Matt Damon's Negotiations and Acting Break: A Couple's Therapy Twist

Matt Damon revealed that he had to negotiate extensively with his wife, Luciana Barroso, in couples therapy before accepting the role in Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer." Despite previously telling her he was taking a break from acting, Damon's one caveat was if Nolan called. Damon plays General Leslie Groves in the historical drama-thriller, which also stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr. The impromptu casting method of Nolan surprised both Damon and his co-star Murphy, who had no idea about their roles until receiving a call from the director.
