Matt Damon praises stunt double

Canadian stunt performer Devyn Dalton has gained widespread attention after Matt Damonpraised her work as his stunt double in The Odyssey.

Standing 4 feet 6 inches tall, Dalton was chosen to double Damon during a forced-perspective scene, helping create the illusion of towering giants using practical effects.

Damon later described her as having ‘the greatest arms’ he had ever seen, bringing unexpected recognition to her years of behind-the-scenes work. A former child actor and motion-capture performer, Dalton said the role was the result of years of training and determination, adding that she hopes her story inspires others to believe that strength comes in all shapes and sizes.
