Marty Supreme is raging at the box office, in addition to receiving much applause from critics. As fans swoon over the movie, director Josh Safdie gives them another reason to cheer it.
It’s Robert Pattinson.
The filmmaker confirms, while speaking to BFI Southbank, that the Twilight star made a secret, voice-only cameo in the film.
“No one knows this, but that voice, the commentator, the umpire, is Pattinson,” the 41-year-old said, marking a second collaboration with the actor after they worked on the 2017 thriller Good Time.
Meanwhile, the film’s star, Timothée Chalamet, who portrays Marty, has his own story while shooting the A24 movie.
He recalls an incident which left him nervous when the actor intentionally provoked a background actor to draw out genuine acting from him.
“And 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,” he shares the anecdote during a conversation at New York’s DGA Theatre.
In return, the person, whom Timothée did not name, threatened him/ “I did another take, and then the guy said, ‘I was just in jail for 30 years. You really don’t want to f*** with me. You don’t want to see me angry.”
“I said to Josh, Holy s***, who do you have me opposite, man?”, the actor recalls with a laughter.
Marty Supreme is playing in theatres.
