Timothée Chalamet Praises His MARTY SUPREME Performance as "Some Top-Level Sh*t"

Timothée Chalamet has been stacking high profile roles for nearly a decade and he’s feeling very confident about the run he’s on. During a recently removed interview with Margaret Gardiner, the actor and reflected on his career so far and didn’t hold back as boasted about the work he’s been doing.

Chalamet was talking about his upcoming film Marty Supreme in an interview, which ScreenRant highlighted before it disappeared from YouTube. The actor said:

“This is probably my best performance, and it's been like seven, eight years that I feel like I've been handing in really, really committed, top-of-the-line performances.

“And it's important to say out loud because the discipline and the work ethic I'm bringing to these things, I don't want people to take for granted. I don't want to take for granted. This is really some top-level shit.”

Over the last several years he’s delivered character driven work across a wide range of genres in Dune, Dune 2, Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy, The French Dispatch, Don't Look Up, Bones and All, and Wonka. I’m sure everyone has their own opinions regarding his performances in those projects.

He set the stage for this self assessment back in February when he accepted the SAG Award for Best Actor for his transformation into Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. He spoke directly about where he sees himself heading and said he is “in pursuit of greatness” and wants “to be one of the greats.”

Some viewers pushed back at the confidence, but Chalamet has doubled down and is continuing to hype himself up as a great actor.

Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme is to be another solid moment in his career. The A24 film just earned three Golden Globe nominations including Best Picture Musical or Comedy Best Screenplay and Best Actor Music or Comedy for Chalamet.

Safdie directed the film and co-wrote the screenplay with Ronald Bronstein crafting a loose portrait of legendary table tennis player Marty Reisman whose fame peaked in the late 40s and early 50s.

The film’s synopsis describes it as the story of “A young man with a dream no one respects goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.”

Audiences will be able to judge for themselves soon if this will be Chalamet’s best performance yet. The film arrives in US theaters on December 25.
