Charlize Theron is making no secret of her admiration for her The Odyssey co-star Matt Damon's physique. 
The stunning South African star plays Damon's onscreen love interest in Christopher Nolan's new blockbuster movie and she couldn't stop gushing about the muscles he developed for the role of Greek king Odysseus. 
'I've seen him without all of that suit on. 
He's incredible. 
Incredible,' she told ET in an interview promoting the epic. 
'I'm like staring at him weirdly. 
I'm looking at his a** right now. 
I shouldn't do that! 
That's just wrong. 
He looked amazing, yes.' 
There is plenty of action in the almost three-hour-long R-rated sword-and-sandal adventure and in a People cover story, Damon, 55, explained his approach to the role. 
'It was more about just getting really, really physically fit, which just really involves changing your diet, just a whole lifestyle change,' he explained. 
'You have to just be very, very intentional about everything you're putting in your body.' 
The Odyssey debuted at the top of the North American box office this past weekend raking in $124.5 million. 
Nolan's movie is based on Homer's famous tale of the Greek king fighting to get back home to his wife Penelope after being incarcerated for seven years. 
During his imprisonment, he has an affair with Calypso and fathers two of her children. 
Theron and Damon first worked together on the 2000 movie The Legend of Bagger Vance. 
Directed by Robert Redford and set during the Depression, Damon starred as a disillusioned golfer and Theron played his love interest.
