Timothée Chalamet’s Ping-Pong Passion, 20s Reflections & Susan Boyle Surprise

Timothée Chalamet is known for his dedication to acting, and his latest film 'Marty Supreme' is a perfect example of his commitment. For this movie, which tells the story of a table tennis champion, Timothée spent seven years learning and practicing the sport. He started preparing in 2018, using every bit of free time to train and improve his skills. He wanted his performance to look authentic, especially for fans of table tennis, just as he did when he learned guitar for his Oscar-nominated role in 'A Complete Unknown'. Timothée even brought his table tennis table to different filming locations, including the desert during 'Dune' and played with cast members on the set of 'Wonka'. He recalls practicing with friends during a beautiful sunset in France, feeling grateful for the opportunities his career has given him.

In 'Marty Supreme', Timothée plays Marty Mauser, a character inspired by real-life table tennis star Marty Reisman. The film shows Marty as a talented but flawed person who gets involved in a heist and tries to ruin his sponsor's marriage. Despite these questionable actions, Timothée enjoys playing Marty because the character represents the mistakes and foolishness that often come with being young. As Timothée approaches his 30th birthday, he reflects on his twenties as an amazing time filled with achievements, including two Oscar nominations. He feels like he is living a dream, working on projects he is passionate about and sharing his love for acting with the world.

Timothée is ambitious and wants to be remembered as one of the greats, like Daniel Day Lewis, Marlon Brando, and sports legends Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps. He admits that his confidence changes depending on the situation, but he tries to keep learning and growing. He is concerned about the future of cinemas, especially with the rise of streaming services, but believes that original films like 'Marty Supreme' can help keep movie theaters alive. To promote the film, Timothée has been giving out special jackets to people he admires, such as Frank Ocean, Tom Brady, and young football star Lamine Yamal. He also mentions his admiration for Susan Boyle, the British singer who inspired millions with her big dreams. Timothée hopes that 'Marty Supreme' will encourage people to visit cinemas and enjoy the magic of movies.
