“My favorite reaction to this was I told John Krasinski, and he launches himself out of the chair,” Matt said during an appearance on CNN.
He continued, “He starts pacing the kitchen. He goes, ‘Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay. Nothing in your life would be different today if you had done that movie, except you and I would be having this conversation in space.’”
Matt added that it was “the most money an actor ever turned down.”
