Matt Damon, Clint Eastwood & Morgan Freeman Dish on New Movie

Canvas background demo

ET's resident film-guru Leonard Maltin sits down with Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman and director Clint Eastwood as the star trio talks about working together on their new film, 'Invictus.'

The movie tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team (Damon) to help unite their country. Morgan told Leonard about filming on location in South Africa's Ellis Park Stadium: "I don;t think it's daunting at all, I think it's more enabling to be on the ground where an event that you are portraying actually took place. It's almost like costuming."

Matt also portrayed a "real person." Of that experience, he said, "I felt a lot of responsibility and a little bit nervous about it, but then I'd look over at Morgan and realize he was playing Mandela, so that put me right at ease."

'Invictus' hits theaters on December 11.
