\nChristopher Nolan\u2018s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has spawned countless debates since its blockbuster release \u2014 over representation and historical accuracy and, at least in my friend group, whether Travis Scott has iPhone face. But another, albeit much more benign, question has emerged during the press cycle this week: can an actor convincingly play an Ancient Greek god in the presence of an Ugg slipper?<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is perhaps the first time you\u2019ve seen those words strung together but Nolan has long banned Uggs from his sets. In an interview with Gayle King on Tuesday, he described the popular shoe as a \u201csignifier of modernity\u201d that \u201ccan actually weirdly take you out of reality.\u201d\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the case of \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d it makes sense that Nolan may not have wanted Matt Damon\u2019s Odysseus, running miles through Troy in sandals, to have the comfort of sheepskin slippers in the back of his mind. Penelope, too, would surely have appreciated Ugg\u2019s signature plush lining during her 20-year wait in the palace of Ithaca, but it may have taken Anne Hathaway out of the moment.<\/p>

\n\tThankfully, in the modern world, one doesn\u2019t have to be a queen to enjoy such luxuries. \u201c\u201cSometimes actors will turn up, because the footwear hurts them, so they\u2019ll turn up in these big fluffy comfy slippers,\u201d Nolan said, adding that his shoe ban has been a long-running joke he\u2019s had with Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway \u2014 two Ugg adherents who have had to sacrifice their loyalties while working with the Oscar-winning director. <\/p>\n

\n\tBut if you\u2019re a Nolan-head now finding yourself eyeing your own Ugg boots in despair: worry not. \u201cUggs are great,\u201d he told King when asked if he had something against the brand in particular. My middle school self, who treated her Uggs with as much care as Carrie Bradshaw does her Manolos, is also glowing in his approval. \n\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHollywood has long had a love affair with Uggs, which were founded in 1978<\/mark> in Santa Monica, California. Kate Moss, Paris Hilton, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sarah Jessica Parker are just a few of their most famous fans. Other sheepskin sightings? Beyonce at the Super Bowl, Ashley Tisdale on a red carpet, Ben Affleck on a (non-Nolan set) and Sienna Miller at the airport. They may be a \u201csignifier of modernity,\u201d but they\u2019re also impressively versatile\u2026<\/p>
