I’ve been thinking about this shot for 15 years,’” Damon began narrating an epic story when he asked the 61-year-old actor about the Burj Khlifa stunt.

The Adjustment Bureau actor continued, “I am like, ‘Wow really!’ and he says, ‘So I go to the safety guy and I lay it all out. Safety guy say we can’t do it. It is too dangerous; you can’t do it. So, I get a new safety guy,'”

Damon further added, “that’s the beginning of his story and I say, ‘stop!’ That’s where we are different. Like, when the safety guy says no, I am like, ‘The safety guy said that’s not a good idea!'”
