Hollywood director Christopher Nolan is known for making serious movies. But at a recent event for The Odyssey, he showed everyone his funny side.
Nolan was talking about how movies can bring people together everywhere in the world. While speaking, he almost said a famous phrase. That phrase is "far from home." It's part of the title of a Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man is played by actor Tom Holland, who also stars in The Odyssey as a character named Telemachus.
Nolan caught himself just in time. He smiled and admitted he was trying hard not to say those words. The crowd laughed. Nolan then joked that if people only see one Tom Holland movie this year, they should pick The Odyssey instead of the new Spider-Man film. Both movies are coming out close together, just two weeks apart. Tom Holland was standing right there. He laughed along with everyone else, enjoying the director's rare joke.
The Odyssey releases in theaters on July 17. The new Spider-Man film (referred to as Spider-Man: Brand New Day) opens in India on July 30.
