Christopher Nolan avoided CGI and used 7ft stuntmen to portray Laestrygonians in The Odyssey. The giant leader, King Antiphates, is portrayed by actor Josh Stewart, while Matt Damon’s stunt double is Devyn Dalton, who is just under 5ft.

Yes, he did. “The greatest arms I’ve ever seen” were his exact words, haha.

ETAA: The one pictured here behind Devyn is Stephen Adentan, who portrays one of the giant soldiers. They’re 2 feet apart in height.

For a stunt double, that's like a sneaky self-compliment.

I wonder if that's the same stunt double who rope climbs down from the Trojan Horse without using legs...

Well, he's not wrong. Those are some fantastic arms.

For real. I'm a sucker for a woman who could beat my ass without being like, grossly muscular, like "John Cena with fake tits" type muscular. Her arms are perfect for my rather specific tastes.

I haven't seen the film yet but if her stunt work is as good as her arms, I might fall in love lol.

John Cena with fake tits would be a waste since you cant see him/them
