Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has shared a startling and tense anecdote from the set of his latest film, Marty Supreme, involving a threatening comment from a background actor.
A Tense On-Set Confrontation
During an interview, Chalamet recounted a specific scene where he was required to provoke anger from a non-professional actor. The interaction proved unexpectedly difficult. Chalamet struggled to elicit the required emotional response, leading to a surprising revelation from the man opposite him.
The background actor informed Chalamet that he had only recently been released from prison after serving a 30-year sentence. He then issued a stark warning, telling the acclaimed actor not to provoke him. A shocked Chalamet recalled his immediate reaction to director Josh Safdie, saying, “I said to Josh, ‘Holy s***, who do you have me opposite, man?’”
Secret Cameo and Awards Buzz
In other news related to the film, director Safdie previously disclosed a secret voice cameo. Robert Pattinson provides the voice for the unseen announcer of the British Open ping pong semifinals featured in the movie.
The project continues to generate significant awards attention for its leading man. Chalamet recently secured a Golden Globe award for his performance in Marty Supreme. Industry watchers widely expect him to receive a Best Actor nomination at the upcoming Academy Awards, cementing the film's critical success.
The Aftermath of the Incident
While the anecdote highlights the unpredictable nature of filming with non-actors, a hallmark of the Safdie brothers' directorial style, it also underscores the intense and immersive environment created for the film. The incident, now shared by Chalamet, adds a layer of real-world tension to the behind-the-scenes narrative of Marty Supreme.
The film, directed by Josh Safdie, is one of the most talked-about releases of the season, with Chalamet's performance at its centre. This latest revelation offers a glimpse into the challenging and sometimes unnerving process that contributed to the final product.
