Matt Damon fell into depression while filming a movie, credits wife.

In a recent conversation on the best advice given by a significant other, Matt Damon, the star of "Oppenheimer," opened up about a difficult experience he had while filming a movie. Reflecting on the situation, Damon expressed that there have been times in his career where he found himself in a movie that didn't meet his expectations. He described the feeling of being halfway through production, with months left to go, and realizing that he had inconvenienced his family by taking them along for the journey. It was during this time that he fell into a state of depression and questioned his choices.

However, Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, played a crucial role in helping him navigate through these challenging moments. With three daughters and a stepdaughter, Damon and his wife have a rule of not staying apart for more than two weeks at a time. Damon credited his wife as being a significant source of support and strength during these difficult times.

Being a professional actor, according to Damon, means giving your all even in situations where you know the outcome may not be what you hoped for. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and putting in the effort, regardless of the circumstances. Damon stated that his wife's guidance and encouragement helped him adopt this mindset and approach his work with professionalism.

"Oppenheimer," directed by Christopher Nolan, is set to release on July 21, coinciding with the release of the "Barbie" movie.
