Matt Damon? More like Matt Dammnnnn … the actor is taking us on one heck of a journey, flexing some serious muscle while filming “The Odyssey” in Italy!

These pics are straight-up jaw-dropping — the heavily bearded actor looks unrecognizable as the hero Odysseus – sporting a chiseled physique while filming in Favignana, an island in Italy, alongside Zendaya for Christopher Nolan’s star-packed epic.

Looks like it was a heavy-duty filming day, with shirtless Matt rocking a tunic wrapped around his waist as he stomps across a pebbly beach.

RN, it’s just Matt and Zendaya holding it down on set, but the full cast is studded with stars. We’ve got Zendaya’s fiancé Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, and Anne Hathaway all set to join the epic ride.

The movie’s shaping up to be a blockbuster adaptation of the original 8th Century epic poem by Homer — and it’s all about the hero Odysseus trying to make it home after the Trojan War, running into all sorts of adventures … like encounters with mythical creatures and Greek gods.

It hits cinemas July 2026!

Damon Dash is getting hit where it hurts — in his pockets — because he’s been ordered to cough up several million dollars in a lawsuit filed by an old nemesis.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the movie and music producer was just hit with a $4 million default judgment in Josh Webber‘s defamation suit against him.

Webber filed the suit back in April 2024, claiming he lost out on a $4-million producing and directing gig because of some defamatory comments Damon made about him on a podcast.

On the podcast, Webber claims Damon said … “I had a judgment. And I knew this d***head Chris Brown and Josh Webber and Muddy Waters … Chris Brown the lawyer. I went through four trials with the same lawyer … What I lost was defamation because these guys trigger me and steal my s*** … you think there is freedom of speech, it’s really not.”

Damon was referencing a previous legal battle with Webber over “Dear Frank” … which, as we first reported, resulted in DD being ordered to pay Webber and the movie’s producers over $800,000.

As for the defamation suit, Webber says the podcast clip racked up hundreds of thousands of views online and claims he was told the $4 million gig was canceled due to “Dash’s accusations of theft.”

TMZ Hip Hop has obtained footage of the “RIP Drake & OVO” coffin DJ Khaled received at his Miami Beach home last month … making the mystery behind the morbid delivery even weirder!!!

We broke the story back in February … two men told Khaled’s front gate security guard they were delivery workers and got the green light to gain access onto the property.

You can see the moment for yourself … the men morph into pallbearers as they walk up to Khaled’s front door, hoisting the coffin, with another guy trailing behind them filming the entire thing on a cell phone.

The security guard simply watches, clearly confused over the madness!!!

Strangely enough, Tekashi 6ix9ine also received the same kind of haunting gift at his Florida home 2 days before Khaled did — only his casket said “RIP King Von.”

Someone is clearly playing into rapper beef, but Tekashi has denied he’s behind the sinister stunt.

Ironically, the “RIP Drake” tag can be interpreted as the end of Khaled’s relationship with Champagne Papi.
