Interviewer: “In the movie there’s a scene where you’re basically young Jason Bourne, and it’s an important scene in the movie where you’re acting like your younger version of the character, but what about your appearance … How do you do? that? What Instagram filter did you use? “

Matt Damon: “Well, they do something by painting dots with a marker all over your face, which they then take as a reference to work on the computer. In fact, that day was interesting. We were shooting in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. And they were having an event honoring Stephen Hawking. That day Professor Hawking came to visit the set; which was amazing. We stopped everything for a moment so that everyone could say hello to him, and I said, “Professor Hawking, I’m sorry to have your whole face covered in dots. It’s something they’re going to use to make me look younger in the movie. I continued talking to his nurse about the visit as he constructed a sentence on his computer; and when the time came she told me: he has something he wants to tell you. They turned the computer screen over and it read: “It’s easy being young. You just have to take advantage of your time.”, and it was like … There I leave it. Thank you Professor Hawking. It was incredible, that moment that he shared with me. It was fun but it also had a double meaning. It’s exactly what you would expect from the smartest man on earth. ”
