Timothée Chalamet has made headlines for his daring commitment to his role in the upcoming film Marty Supreme. The 29-year-old actor opted to perform a challenging scene without the aid of a stunt double, showcasing his dedication to authenticity in his craft. In a particularly striking moment, Chalamet’s character, Marty, endures a paddle strike from co-star Kevin O’Leary, who confirmed that the scene features Chalamet’s bare backside.
O’Leary, who is making his acting debut in the film, shared insights about the filming process in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Timmy, I’m going to have to belt your a**; are you sure you want to do this?” he recalled asking Chalamet. O’Leary humorously remarked, “He immortalized his a** on film for the rest of time. That scene freaks me out even now.”
The film, set to explore themes of ambition and rivalry, follows Marty’s journey as he aspires to earn enough money to travel to Japan for a prestigious table tennis tournament. In the narrative, O’Leary plays Milton Rockwell, a businessman who becomes embroiled in Marty’s life and seeks revenge through the memorable paddle scene after enduring insults from the protagonist.
Chalamet’s willingness to embrace such a bold role has sparked considerable attention, but the actor has also recently been the subject of speculation regarding his potential side career as a rapper. Observers have drawn connections between him and the enigmatic Liverpool-based artist known as EsDeeKid. Chalamet’s nonchalant response to a reporter’s question about the rumors has only fueled further intrigue. When asked to clarify his connection to the rapper, he simply stated, “No comment,” before teasing, “You’ll see… all in due time.”
Fans have engaged in extensive discussions online, with some conducting analyses comparing Chalamet’s hand features to those of EsDeeKid, suggesting they may be the same person. As the buzz continues, the mystery surrounding EsDeeKid, who maintains anonymity by only revealing his eyes in promotional materials, adds a layer of excitement to Chalamet’s already vibrant public persona.
With the release of Marty Supreme on the horizon, audiences are eager to witness not only Chalamet’s performance but also the dynamic portrayal of a story that intertwines ambition, rivalry, and perhaps, a dash of unexpected talent in the music world. As promotional campaigns ramp up, fans are left speculating what surprises Chalamet might unveil next.
