Wait! Robert Pattinson Has A Secret Role In Timothee Chalamet’s Movie?

This would not be the first time that Robert Pattinson and Timothee Chalamet have shared screen space. The two actors previously appeared together in Netflix’s 2019 historical drama The King and are set to reunite once again in Denis Villeneuve’s much-anticipated Dune: Part Three. But long before fans clock them together in Arrakis, the duo were already “co-stars” in another film, but here’s the thing, almost no one noticed.As Marty Supreme gathers momentum on the awards circuit, director Josh Safdie has revealed that Pattinson makes a secret, blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in the film. The revelation came during a conversation Safdie held at London’s BFI Southbank on Tuesday, where he was promoting the movie. “No one knows this, but that voice

- the commentator, the umpire -is Pattinson,” Safdie told the audience, dropping what instantly became a fan-favourite trivia bomb. “It’s like a little Easter egg. Nobody knows about that,” he added, according to Variety. Explaining how the cameo came about, Safdie quipped, “He came and watched some stuff, and I was like, ‘I don’t know any British people. So he’s the umpire.’”

Pattinson’s contribution is purely vocal and arrives early in the film. He can be heard as the announcer at the British Open semifinals, where Chalamet’s titular character - ambitious ping-pong prodigy Marty Mauser - faces off against reigning Hungarian champion Bela Kletzki, played by Géza Röhrig. Marty Supreme, directed by Safdie, is packed with similarly offbeat casting choices and surprise appearances. The ensemble includes brief cameos from fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, illusionist Penn Jillette, and New Yorker writer Naomi Fry. In a more prominent turn, entrepreneur and Shark Tank personality Kevin “Mr. Wonderful” O’Leary plays businessman and Marty’s enthusiastic backer, Milton Rockwell.

Chalamet recently gave O’Leary a public shoutout during his Golden Globes acceptance speech, after winning Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. “If you would have told me when I was 19 years old, I’d be thanking Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank?” Chalamet joked, as the camera cut to O’Leary applauding. “All right, you’re laughing, so I got away with that. Thank you, Kevin - I would have been stunned, but I’ve been very grateful.”
