Matt Damon is still in awe of Robin Williams' brilliance nearly three decades after their 1997 film, Good Will Hunting.
Speaking on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, Damon reflected on working with the late Oscar winner, recalling the improvised line from the film's final scene that he says fell from "heaven."
"[He was] just like overflowing with generosity," Damon recalled.
Damon remembered Williams for his meticulous nature when it came to filming his scenes, explaining that he would do "a lot of takes" at his own request.
"He was a ruminator. There were things we went back and did another pickup of a thing, and we [had] shot it 15 times already. Ben and I knew we had it. Gus [Van Sant, the director] knew we had it. I think that might be the comedy background where it's like I'm going to refine this joke."
The Bourne Identity actor remembered Williams for his "infatigable" energy.
While the beloved comedic actor was meticulous about getting his scenes to his level of perfection, Damon recalled one improvised scene that changed everything.
"He must have done 15 takes [of the final scene]," Damon began. "Then he just started improvising lines, and on like the ninth line he opened the door, and he looked, and he read the letter and he said, 'Son of a bitch, he stole my line.'"
Damon remembers grabbing Van Zant in joy, immediately recognizing the line's perfection.
"It's like you know when a piece of dialogue falls from heaven, and you just know, but Robin went back in, and he did it five, six more times," he continued.
Robin Williams tragically took his own life in August 2014 at age 63.
