1. > “[Matt] gave me a lot of good advice. One in particular — one thing that was just so unhelpful: he told me not to gain the weight I’d already gained for the role,” Hartnett said. “I gained about 30 pounds for the role, and he was like, ‘You’re never gonna get that off again, man.’”

2. I gained 30. I just don’t have a movie role.

3. Thick Hartnett so hotnett

4. I feel like he should talk to the rock, or any modern action star above their 40’s.. they so clearly have a natural and healthy way of dealing with that.

5. He looked amazing, I wish I could gain that much and still look like he did.

6. When I watched Oppenheimer, I forgot that I was watching Josh Hartnett and just saw him as “Ernest Lawrence”.

   I never once forgot that I was watching Matt Damon play Matt Damon.
