Timothée Chalamet Sports a Mustache and Glasses on Set of New Film 'Marty Supreme' in New York City Jen Juneau, 10/1/2024 Timothée Chalamet looks unrecognizable on the set of 'Marty Supreme' with a mustache and glasses, portraying ping-pong legend Marty Reisman. Directed by Josh Safdie, the film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, marking her return to acting. Chalamet, meanwhile, is set to play Bob Dylan in another transformative role. The 28-year-old actor was spotted on the set of his film Marty Supreme in New York City on Monday, Sept. 30, looking arguably unrecognizable in a mustache and glasses. Chalamet finished the look in a collared shirt under a navy vest and brown trousers, with his hair in a slicked-back style.
As Variety reported in July, Marty Supreme is inspired by professional ping-pong player Marty Reisman. The film is directed by Josh Safdie, from a script by Safdie, 40, and Ronald Bronstein.
A24 announced the news in a July 15 post on X, alongside a graphic of a ping-pong ball emblazoned with the words, "MARTY SUPREME" and "MADE IN AMERICA," separated by three stars.
The following month, it was announced that Gwyneth Paltrow would be joining the cast, after years of focusing on her various businesses.

As for Chalamet, Marty Supreme isn't his only recent project for which he has undergone a bit of a physical transformation. The Oscar nominee can next be seen as a young Bob Dylan in the upcoming biographical drama A Complete Unknown, from director James Mangold.
Scheduled for release on Christmas Day, the film delves into Dylan's arrival in New York City at age 19 and his rise to fame, culminating in his controversial electric set at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
Chalamet's performance has already generated buzz, with the first teaser showcasing him singing Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," after he's introduced by Pete Seeger (Edward Norton), a notable mentor and early supporter of the musician.
The film also covers Dylan's relationships with key figures like Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and Sylvie Russo, a character played by Elle Fanning who is roughly based on Dylan's girlfriend in the early 1960s, Suze Rotolo.
