Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival after the opening of his new film “Stillwater,” actor Matt Damon revealed that traveling to Oklahoma and learning how the politically conservative “roughnecks” who work in the oil industry live was “eye-opening” for him.
Damon stated, “Being invited into their homes, into a backyard barbecue, and the guitar comes out and somebody starts start singing church songs. It’s a culturally very specific place and very different from how he and I grew up. So it was really fascinating, and these people were wonderful to us and really helped us.”
