Timothée Chalamet is hitting new heights. The actor, who stars in the sports comedy/drama Marty Supreme, took to the top of Las Vegas’ Sphere to promote the new theatrical release — and he’s the first person to ever appear atop the striking Vegas landmark.
In a collaboration with CashApp, the two-time Oscar nominee stands on the roof of the Vegas landmark, shouting “Marty Supreme is an American film that comes out on Christmas Day 2025.” And as the camera pans out showing the Sphere glowing orange, he adds “Dream big!,” the tagline for the movie.
Chalamet has certainly chosen a unique marketing blitz for the film, complete with table tennis tournaments, Supreme collaborations, staged Zoom calls, and people who follow the star around masked with giant ping-pong balls for heads. (Marty Supreme is loosely based on the life of table tennis champion Martin Reisman.)
Speaking to Vogue about his work ethic to entice people to see his works, the 29-year-old (who turns 30 on Dec. 27) revealed that it’s important to him. “You don’t want to risk being too declarative. But I also don’t want to look back on life and things I’ve put out and go, ‘Oh, little old me. Hey, see the movie if you want. It is what it is.’ No. At worst, you’ve rubbed people the wrong way. And at best, someone will get pulled in and go, ‘Hey, this guy really thinks this thing’s worthy.’”
In a recent BBC interview, Chalamet also gave a shout-out to singer Susan Boyle – whom he believes embodies the Marty Supreme ethos. “She dreamt big. She dreamt bigger than all of us. I remember it like it was yesterday.”
