Matt Damon regrets not keeping hold of his spacesuit from 'The Martian'.
The 44-year-old actor - who stars alongside the likes of Jessica Chastain and Kate Mara in the Ridley Scott-directed sci-fi movie - has admitted he wishes he'd followed the example of Chris Pratt, who kept one of the motorcycles from the set of 'Jurassic World'.
Speaking at the European premiere of 'The Martian' in London's Leicester Square last night (24.09.15), Matt - who plays astronaut Mark Watney - told BANG Showbiz: "I didn't get to keep the spacesuit, I should've asked for it.
"Chris Pratt got to keep the motorcycle? I've got to talk to his agent."
Meanwhile, Matt revealed he harboured fears about playing an astronaut before stepping on set, but was quickly reassured by his director, who he described as "brilliant".
He shared: "I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was, but Ridley Scott just made it so easy because he's a brilliant director. It was much, much easier than I thought."
The movie has been screened to real-life astronauts and Ridley Scott described the experience as "fantastic".
He added: "The International Space Station set it up. I wanted to see the guys, I wanted to see their reaction."

Pierce Brosnan thinks his version of James Bond was less "sexist and misogynistic" than earlier incarnations.
The 62-year-old actor - who starred as the iconic secret agent in four films, from 1995 to 2002 - has defended his version of Bond, suggesting he was more forward-thinking than prior incarnations.
Pierce said: "I never thought of him like that. I saw him as a solitary, enigmatic character."
However, he does, to some extent, agree with Daniel Craig's recent claim that Bond is "very f**king lonely".
He told Digital Spy: "I saw him as a fellow who carries a certain amount of pain and angst. Deep down as someone who's quite troubled, and solitary - [though] Ian Fleming really doesn't give you a lot to hang your hat on.
"There's a lovely sequence in [novel 'Casino Royale'] where Bond is on a flight to Amsterdam and there is terrible turbulence and he's shaking in his shoes, from turbulence. 'The drink, the drink, give me the drink'."
Last month, meanwhile, Pierce revealed he would welcome a gay James Bond - but doesn't think it'll ever happen.
Asked if he could picture a gay Bond, Pierce said: "Sure. Why not?
"Actually, I don't know how it would work. I don't think [producer Barbara Broccoli] would allow a gay Bond to happen in her lifetime. But it would certainly make for interesting viewing."

'Prometheus 2' is to be called 'Alien: Paradise Lost'.
Director Ridley Scott has announced the upcoming sequel to the 2012 sci-fi horror will have a closer connection to the original 'Alien' franchise.
Speaking to HeyUGuys.co.uk, he said: "It's going to be 'Alien: Paradise Lost', so 'Prometheus 2' is not really going to be [what it's called].
"It's a book, 'Paradise Lost' ... it sounds intellectual, there's a similarity to it, but that's where it stops."
Quizzed about the title's relevance to the prequel film and the earlier films starring Sigourney Weaver, Scott added: "We'll go back to how, why and when the beast was invented. We'll go into the backdoor of the first 'Alien' I did 30 years ago."
'Prometheus' starred Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, and took over $400 million at the worldwide box office.
The legendary filmmaker recently revealed that he has plans to make at least three more 'Prometheus' films, connecting the bridge between the new films and the earlier films.
The original 'Alien' was released in 1979, followed by 1986's 'Aliens' - directed by James Cameron - and 1993's 'Alien 3', helmed by David Fincher. Sigourney Weaver's famous heroine Ellen Ripley was last seen on the big screen in the critically panned 'Alien: Resurrection' in 1997.
Earlier this year, plans for 'Alien 5' were announced when director Neill Blomkamp revealed he'd be taking over the series. Weaver - who worked with the director on 'Elysium' and 'Chappie' - is expected to return.

Jack O'Connell doesn't want to be labelled as a bad boy.
The 'Unbroken' actor - who rose to fame starring as a teenage troublemaker in drama series 'Skins' - is worried about "hindering his future" with incidents that could happen when he's not working.
He shared: "I still have to remind myself to stay focused. Less so these days, but I am still nervous of what happens in my own time. I might react badly in certain situations that might hinder my future.
"So at the moment I'm between jobs. And I'm looking forward to getting back under it. I'd hate to find myself in a predicament that would potentially compromise what I'd like to achieve."
And the 25-year-old star - who has had brushes with the law in the past - has made himself a rule of "never fighting an idiot" in the hope of avoiding any trouble.
Speaking to GQ Style magazine, he added: "You always encounter w*****s and sometimes they get the better of you. I heard this saying about arguing with idiots.
"It goes: 'Never fight an idiot. You'll never win, because they bring you down to their level.' So I'm trying my best not to be an idiot."

Jessica Chastain was so "depleted" after filming her latest movie.
The 'Interstellar' beauty stars as Lady Lucille Sharpe in horror film 'Crimson Peak' but admits the role was so "intense" she cancelled a part in a subsequent movie to give herself time to rest and recuperate.
She said: "I was really excited to play Lucille and I love her when I see the film. But when I finished I was supposed to go off and do another film and I left that film because I just had to take time off. I was so depleted.
"Learning the piano, learning Chopin for someone who's never played; everything about her. There was nothing easy. There was never a day where I was like, 'Oh, this is a fun, light day.' Every day was so intense."
The 38-year-old actress even shared her thoughts with co-star Tom Hiddleston, admitting she thought it would be fun to play the villain.
She added to WENN: "I said to Tom, 'Everyone tells me that playing the villain is the most fun and I'm not having fun! What is going on?' Maybe if I was playing a character that got a bit of enjoyment out of the suffering she inflicts on people I would play her again, but at least for a little bit I would rather play more positive characters. She's the darkest character I've ever played."

Sarah Jessica Parker was sent a treadmill by a producer.
The 'Sex in the City' star was given the exercising equipment by the production staff working on 'Honeymoon In Vegas' to ensure she stayed trim.
She said: "I was about to do 'Honeymoon In Vegas' and before that I was off to do another movie in Iowa.
"The producer of Honeymoon In Vegas was very concerned about me being fit for 'Honeymoon In Vegas'. So they sent a treadmill to Iowa. [I'm] dead serious."
The 50-year-old star admits she followed his orders and would get up each morning and go running whilst listening to her favourite track, 'Everybody Dance Now'.
Speaking to Sirius FM, she added: "I would very diligently go out every single day and run like a lunatic to this song. And then when I went to Iowa, on the treadmill, I would continue to run to the song. And then we went to Vegas and I had a treadmill also in my room and I would get up every morning and run."
Meanwhile, Sarah reportedly considers running after her kids - Marion and Tabitha, six, and James, 12, who she has with husband Matthew Broderick - as the best way of keeping fit.
A source said: "Sarah loves being hands-on with the kids - she doesn't have a live-in nanny so does a lot of the running around after Tabitha and Marion. She says it's the best way to stay fit!"

Patrick Dempsey has confirmed his role in the 'Bridget Jones' movie.
Rumours have circulated for weeks that the 'Grey's Anatomy' star would be joining Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth for the highly-anticipated sequel to 2004's 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason'.
Captioning a photograph of himself posing with an umbrella, he wrote: "Nice to be working in England. Renee and Colin are an absolute joy to work with!
"A good couple of days rehearsing at Pinewood Studios. I really like it here! (sic)"
Meanwhile, earlier this year, film crews were spotted at Ed Sheeran's concert in Croke Park, Dublin capturing scenes where Bridget was supposedly sitting on top of a man's shoulders.
However, sources at the time claimed it was just a body double for Renée.
They said: "There was no risk in filming Renée at a busy gig. But they knew the cat would be out the bag the minute people saw her at the show.
"Renée body double and the cameramen were in and out of the crowd as quickly as possible. These are the first moments in early filming for the new movie. None of the show's main talent have been involved yet."
Production for 'Bridget Jones' Baby' is expected to begin early next month.

Universal is "actively casting and searching for the right director" for 'Furious 8'.
Following the news that both Justin Lin and 'Furious 7' director James Wan have turned down the chance to helm the next instalment in the franchise, Universal has announced it is still looking for a filmmaker to take on the project.
Rubbishing claims Wan refused to return because producer and star Vin Diesel was difficult to work with, a spokesperson for Universal told The Hollywood Reporter: "The studio and filmmakers loved working James on 'Furious 7', but he was never in the mix for an eight film due to a scheduling conflict with 'The Conjuring 2'. We are actively casting and searching for the right director for the next chapter of the franchise."
The comments come after it was reported Wan had told Universal he wouldn't be returning for the eighth film before 'Furious 7' was even completed.
The 'Saw' director is said to have been so affected by the trauma of having to complete the film following the tragic death of star Paul Walker and the demands of Diesel that his health was compromised.
However, a spokesperson for Diesel has written off any suggestion he was difficult to work with as "complete nonsense" while Wan's representative has denied any on-set friction between the pair.
Producer Neal Moritz added: "Obviously, if there was any issue, we wouldn't be making the eight [film] with [Diesel] right now."

Brad Pitt has been accused of terrifying farm animals on the set of his latest movie.
The 51-year-old star is currently producing 'The Lost City of Z' in the village of Ballygally, Northern Ireland - and has apparently been petrifying chickens, cows, bulls and horses because of the loud explosions being staged on the set.
Farmer Jason McKillion complained to the Larne Times newspaper: "It started last Monday with bangs, gunfire and small explosions and then on Tuesday the bigger explosions started.
"They shook the house and windows and the boom echoed through the glen.
"My neighbour's horses were in the field near the film set and they went spare, trying to jump the ditches.
"On Wednesday, there was another explosion and my animals went daft.
"The chickens were squawking and the dog was outside, barking and shaking."
What's more, the farmer said his neighbours have also been bothered by the noise coming from the set of the movie, which stars Sienna Miller, Robert Pattinson and Charlie Hunnam.
'The Lost City of Z' tells the story of British explorer Percy Fawcett's trip to the Amazon to find a legendary civilisation, and is set for release in 2016.
