Meet the 'Marty Supreme' Cast: Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow and More

8 hours ago 1

Marty Supreme has an all-star lineup.

The sports comedy helmed by Josh Safdie stars Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a man training to become a ping-pong player and bring the sport to new heights in the 1950s. According to the film’s official synopsis, Marty is “a young man with a dream that no one respects” who “will go to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.”

The film is a fictional comedy loosely based on the life of professional table tennis player Marty Reisman.

Chalamet is joined by Fran Drescher, who plays Marty’s mother, while Gwyneth Paltrow plays Carol Dunne. Ahead of the movie’s release, Paltrow and Chalamet were photographed sharing a smooch while dressed up as their respective characters. The actress later teased that she and Chalamet filmed more than kissing scenes.

“I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie,” Paltrow said in a March interview with Vanity Fair. “There’s a lot — a lot.”

Marty Supreme also features Odessa A’zion, Tyler, the Creator, Kevin O’Leary, Penn Jillette and more. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 25.

Paltrow portrays a movie star named Carol Dunne who captures the attention of Marty during his journey with the sport.

“This woman who is married to someone who is in the ping-pong mafia, as it were,” the actress said of her character in an interview with Vanity Fair. “They meet and she’s had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.”
