In an intriguing revelation, Matt Damon claimed to have once visited the set of Gone Girl, only to get a disturbing experience back then. The movie starring Damon’s long-known friend Ben Affleck had left the actor more than just inspired—it left him «traumatized.» The culprit behind Damon’s unexpected distress? None other than the acclaimed director David Fincher’s relentless pursuit of perfection, per The Things. Fincher’s quest for cinematic excellence sometimes leads to extended shoots and an energy-draining atmosphere on set. Damon’s day on the Gone Girl set became a firsthand experience of Fincher’s perfectionism, as he struggled to process what unfolded before his eyes.

This minor detail sent Fincher into a monologue, expressing his dissatisfaction and disrupting the take before the main actors had a chance to perform.
