Timothée Chalamet‘s probably hoping his new movie, “Marty Supreme,” gets more than 3 stars … but that’s all his friends sported on their heads at the film’s pop-up when they dressed up as table tennis balls.
The actor wore a bright pink “Marty Supreme” jacket over a matching sweater, and his pink belt held up a casual pair of jeans.
Chalamet’s escort into the event consisted of five or six people dressed in all black … except for the bright orange headgear they wore with three black stars emblazoned on the front.
These guys are supposed to look like ping-pong balls — the three stars speak to the high quality of the ball … fitting since “Marty Supreme” is all about the lengths one man will go to become a table-tennis legend.
Josh Safdie directed the film, which stars Chalamet as the main character — loosely based on table tennis legend Marty Reisman — alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Fran Drescher, Kevin O’Leary, and many more.
We shared photos of Timothée and Gwyneth locking lips in an intimate on-set scene last year … with TC pinning GP up against the wall — and, Paltrow later told Vanity Fair that’s just the tip of the romantic iceberg for the pair.
It certainly takes a lot of balls to be a leading man … and, Chalamet’s definitely putting his on display here.
