BREAKING: Timothée Chalamet is making headlines for his bold decision to showcase his bare a** in the highly anticipated film Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie. Co-star Kevin O’Leary revealed in a recent interview that Chalamet insisted on performing the scene himself, against initial plans for a stunt double.
The film, set to premiere in theaters on December 25, 2025, has already garnered critical acclaim following its debut at the 2025 New York Film Festival. Chalamet’s performance has been highlighted as one of his career-best, but it’s the details surrounding a particular scene that are grabbing immediate attention.
O’Leary described how Chalamet expressed a desire to “immortalize” his bare a** on screen, saying, “Timmy walked in and said, ‘No, it’s got to be my a**. I’m going to immortalize my a** on film in perpetuity.’” This determination led to a scene where O’Leary’s character, Milton Rockwell, is set to spank Chalamet’s character with a paddle.
The comedic twist? The scene initially didn’t meet the expectations of director Josh Safdie, who felt O’Leary was not hitting Chalamet hard enough. O’Leary humorously recalled, “I wound up like a baseball bat, and I nailed his right cheek, and I think his eyeballs exploded out of his head, and that’s what you see in the final cut.” He praised Chalamet as a “crazy trooper” for his commitment to the performance.
Marty Supreme will also feature a star-studded cast, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher, creating buzz around the film as it approaches its release date.
As audiences await the film’s debut, Chalamet’s daring choice is bound to spark conversations about artistic expression and the lengths actors go to in order to deliver authentic performances. With the film’s release just over two years away, this revealing insight has fans eager to see what else Marty Supreme will bring to the table.
