Christopher Nolan’s eagerly awaited film The Odyssey is out.
Charlize Theron essays the role of Calypso in it, a character who traps Odysseus (played by Matt Damon) in a trance. When asked by an interviewer what would happen if she were trapped in a trance, the actress replied: ‘Oh, potato chips, I’m in. Bring me some. But I want flavoured potato chips. Americans with just the salt and the oil? No. I want chutney and ketchup and beef stew and all of that.’ We’re not quite sure what happened there with that question but if only Odysseus had known about Calypso’s real obsessions.
