The Martian was the biggest winner at Tuesday night’s National Board of Review awards, taking home honors for Best Actor (Matt Damon), Best Director (Ridley Scott), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Drew Goddard). In the film, Damon’s astronaut, Mark Watney, finds resourceful and creative ways to stay alive when he is accidentally left behind on Mars. As the stars paraded into NBR’s gala event — a swanky catered setting that could not be more of a polar opposite from a survivalist challenge — we asked them: How long could you survive on Mars? Spoiler alert: Stars are not shy about how fast outer space would kill them.
First we asked the Martian himself, Matt Damon, who in no way shares his character’s ability to survive on a diet of small slivers of potatoes. “I would have lasted maybe eight, nine seconds,” he said. Says his co-star, Jessica Chastain, “If I was actually on the surface of Mars? I would have lasted less than a second.” (Suddenly Damon seems like the marathoner.)
