"It's a been a great experience," said Damon. "It's a little overwhelming when someone like Luhan shows up with so many fans. I think there were 400 flower arrangements sent to the hotel [for him], on the first night of shooting."

The host then asked if Damon thought the fans or the flowers were for him. He knew that they were not, but co-star Andy Lau jokingly pointed out that they could have been sent from representatives of his fan base.

Damon went on to express his admiration for his Asian cast members, including Luhan. "If someone hadn't told me how famous he was, I wouldn't have known from how he carries himself, which is very impressive," said Damon.
