The Universe According to Timothée
“My superpower is my fearlessness.” Unaware to a group of grade school girls practicing their tendus in mismatched leotards, Timothée Chalamet spent an hour perfecting his walk. He experimented with footfalls, adjusted the swing of his gait, paused to reset, and touched his long fingertips together. He repeated this circular walk countless times until it appeared effortless and natural.
We are at a dance studio in Hell’s Kitchen, the neighborhood where 29-year-old Chalamet grew up. He is rehearsing for a challenge that has troubled many actors before him: the role of the leading man who must promote his latest project. Chalamet has created a unique concept—his own idea—that can be described as an acid trip version of a cadet march.
A Unique Press Tour Concept
Welcome to the press tour for Marty Supreme: Chalamet at the center of men dressed in black, each with a cadmium-orange Ping-Pong ball the size of a classroom globe balanced on their heads. This unusual group, resembling pumpkin-headed soldiers, will accompany him on the road.
“Get used to seeing this band of pumpkin-headed foot soldiers, because Chalamet is taking them—and an album-release-like approach to Marty Supreme—on the road.”
The previous night, he introduced this concept on Instagram Live to 45,000 viewers to promote the movie’s Christmas Day release.
Summary
Timothée Chalamet combines creativity and fearlessness to reinvent the traditional press tour, turning the promotion of Marty Supreme into an imaginative, performance-driven experience.
