Devyn Dalton: The 4ft 6in Stunt Double Behind The Odyssey Giants
Devyn Dalton, a 35-year-old stuntwoman who is 4ft 6in tall, doubled for Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, notably in a scene with Laestrygonians where giants tower over the crew. Damon praised her arms as “the greatest arms I’ve ever seen,” highlighting the impact of a dedicated stunt performer. Dalton trained in muay thai, jiu-jitsu, dance, yoga and strength work, landed the role through industry networks rather than open casting, and filmed in Scotland after a long prep process. She emphasizes safety and preparation in stunt work, hopes for more recognition of women in the field, and aspires to lead her own project in the future.
