During a promotional interview for his new movie ‘Ford v Ferrari’, Matt Damon revealed that he lost out on more than 250 Million Dollars because of the movie Avatar. He went as far as calling himself the “dumbest actor of all time”.
Damon explained that James Cameron, the filmmaker behind Avatar, approached him with an offer to play the lead role ‘Jake Sully’ in exchange for 10% of the profits from the movie and he turned it down. That 10% would’ve made Damon a cool 250 Million Dollars.
