Earlier this year, Timothée Chalamet ruffled some feathers by announcing in front of a room full of his peers at the SAG Awards, that he was in "pursuit of greatness". For some, it was a moment of refreshing honesty: don't we all want to do something worthwhile with our time on Earth? Especially if we have the talent to back it up. These words could have come straight from the mouth of Marty Mauser, the cocksure ping pong champ that Chalamet brings to the screen with electrifying magnetism in Marty Supreme.
In fact, if you've been anywhere near social media in the last couple of months, you've probably already had a taste of Mauser's brash confidence thanks to Chalamet's unconventional publicity campaign for the film. Typically flanked by several people with "hardcore orange" spheres on their heads, and wearing Mauser-esque glasses, Chalamet has been talking up his "really top-of-the-line performances" over the last 7-8 years, declaring Marty Surpeme specifically "top-level shit."
