A few years ago, Matt Damon dropped a major bombshell about his career: he turned down "Avatar." Ahead of the original 2009 movie going on to become the highest-grossing movie of all time, James Cameron offered the actor a spot along with 10% of its earnings. When Damon declined, he unknowingly passed on a quarter of a billion dollars, which is effectively more than any actor in history. As Cameron’s "Avatar" sequel hits theaters, the filmmaker has responded to the whole thing.

When James Cameron was asked if he’s talked to Matt Damon lately, he burst into a chuckle. He then revealed more details about the situation.
