Timothée Chalamet revealed a surprising encounter he experienced on the set of Marty Supreme.
The Golden Globe-winning actor opened up about the experience of filming the ping pong drama during a Q&A with fellow actor Robert Downey Jr, at the DGA Theatre in Los Angeles.
He recalled a moment on set when he claims a background actor, who had been in jail, threatened him.

“I won’t say who, but in that motel sequence, there are a lot of non-actors … that I find it really thrilling to work with, but sometimes it would take multiple takes to really get something out of them,” Chalamet said, per People.
“I’m really getting in the guy’s face and I’m really trying to get him angry with me. I was saying to Josh [Safdie, the movie’s director], he’s not getting angry with me, he’s not getting angry with me.”
But things quickly changed as Chalamet attempted to rile him up for the scene.

“I did another take and then the guy said, ‘I was just in jail for 30 years. You really don’t want to f–k with me. You don’t want to see me angry,” Chalamet recalled.
He then recalled telling director Safdie, “Holy s–t, who do you have me opposite, man?”
Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser in the new film, which follows the rise of an American table tennis star’s career.
The role has earned him a Critics’ Choice Award and his first Golden Globe so far during the 2026 awards season.

Taking to the stage to accept his first-ever Golden Globe award at just 30, Chalamet expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart,” he said before shouting out his fellow nominees, the film’s cast and crew his parents and his partner Kylie Jenner.
“My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up, always be grateful for what you have. It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here,” he added.
“But I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter.”
