Timothée Chalamet trained for 7 years for 'Marty Supreme'

Entertainment Dec 18, 2025

Timothee Chalamet really committed to his role in Marty Supreme, spending seven years learning table tennis to play Marty Mauser, a post-war athlete.
He even said, "I wanted the ping pong to look real for people who know the sport."
That's more time than he spent learning guitar for A Complete Unknown!

Awards buzz and unique promotions

Chalamet's dedication is already paying off with Best Actor nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. The movie follows Mauser as he gets caught up in a heist and sponsor drama.
Instead of streaming, Marty Supreme is coming to theaters on December 26.
To hype it up, Chalamet has been doing creative promos—including matching outfits at premieres with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.
