Timothée Chalamet Says He Got a Stern Warning From Marty Supreme Background Actor on Set
Chalamet attempted to provoke a background actor for an authentic scene but was warned about the actor's 30-year jail time, revealing challenges in filming Marty Supreme.
- At a Jan. 14 Q&A at New York's DGA Theater, Timothée Chalamet said an unnamed background actor warned, `'I was just in jail for 30 years. You don't want to see me angry.'`
- Chalamet tried to provoke non-actor background performers by repeatedly getting in the man's face to elicit anger, telling director Josh Safdie the extra "was not getting angry with me" during the motel sequence.
- During the take, the motel stunt had Marty plunge through a bathroom floor and land on a dog and a gangster's arm, prompting Chalamet to say to Josh, 'Holy s---, who do you have me opposite, man?'
- After picking up a Golden Globe win on January 11, Chalamet added Critics Choice Awards honors, positioning him as an Oscar frontrunner for this year.
- Beyond the anecdote, the film features Robert Pattinson, voice cameo, and Gwyneth Paltrow, cast member, while Marty Supreme fictionalizes Marty Reisman's five world championship medals journey.
