Timothée Chalamet declined the option of using a stunt double in his latest film, Marty Supreme. Instead, he opted to perform the scenes himself, including a moment where his bare buttocks were prominently featured. The 29-year-old actor’s dedication to his character Marty did not go unnoticed, as confirmed by his co-star Kevin O’Leary.
During a pivotal scene where Kevin’s character, Milton, strikes Timothee’s character, Marty, with a paddle, Timothée insisted on doing the scene without a stunt double. Kevin revealed, “That’s really Chalamet’s a**,” highlighting Timothée’s commitment to authenticity in his performance.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kevin O’Leary, a 71-year-old actor making his debut in the production, shared his surprise at Timothée’s decision. Despite offering Timothée the chance to use a stunt double for the physical scenes, Timothée stood by his choice. Kevin recalled the moment, stating, “He immortalised his a** on film for the rest of time. That scene freaks me out even now.”
The film, Marty Supreme, follows Timothée as Marty, a man striving to earn enough money to travel to Japan and participate in a table tennis tournament. Along the way, he clashes with Milton Rockwell, portrayed by Kevin, leading to a tense confrontation involving a paddling incident.
Outside of his acting career, rumors have circulated that Timothée might be pursuing a side career as a rapper, adopting a Liverpudlian accent to maintain anonymity. Speculation grew after Timothée evaded questions about his potential involvement. Fans have been intrigued by the mystery surrounding Liverpool-based rapper EsDeeKid, who remains largely unknown, only revealing his eyes in promotional material.
Despite the speculation, Timothée has chosen to keep his involvement in the rapper persona ambiguous, responding with a simple “no comment” when pressed for answers during a recent interview. The ongoing mystery has sparked discussions among fans eager to uncover the truth behind EsDeeKid’s identity.
