Timothée Chalamet is making headlines not just for his acting in the upcoming film Marty Supreme, but also for his bold decision to include a revealing scene that will leave a lasting impression. According to his co-star Kevin O’Leary, Chalamet insisted on showcasing his bare behind in a particular moment during the film, which is set to premiere on December 25, 2025.
O’Leary shared this surprising detail in a recent interview, stating that Chalamet was intent on portraying the scene himself, despite a double being initially planned for the role. In this pivotal moment, Chalamet’s character, Marty, is asked to drop his pants for a playful spanking with a paddle by O’Leary’s character, Milton Rockwell. O’Leary recounted that Chalamet approached the scene with conviction, saying, “No, it’s got to be my a**. I’m going to immortalize my a** on film in perpetuity.”
Behind the Scenes of Marty Supreme
The film has already garnered significant attention and acclaim, especially following its premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival. Critics have praised Chalamet’s performance, noting it as one of the best of his career. However, it was O’Leary’s retelling of the filming process that caught many off guard. During their initial attempts to film the scene, director Josh Safdie expressed concerns that O’Leary was not delivering an impactful hit.
After some adjustments, O’Leary described how he needed to swing more forcefully, stating, “I wound up like a baseball bat, and I nailed his right cheek.” He added humorously, “I think his eyeballs exploded out of his head, and that’s what you see.” Such moments of levity underscore the collaborative spirit on set, with O’Leary labeling Chalamet a “crazy trooper” for fully committing to the scene.
A Star-Studded Cast
Alongside Chalamet and O’Leary, Marty Supreme features an impressive ensemble cast, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. The film promises to deliver a unique blend of humor and drama, with Chalamet’s daring choice highlighting his willingness to push boundaries in his craft.
As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build around Marty Supreme. With the film’s intriguing premise and Chalamet’s performance already receiving accolades, audiences are eager to see how this bold decision translates on screen.
