The Universe According to Timothée
“My superpower is my fearlessness.” Unnoticed by a group of grade school girls practicing tendus in mismatched leotards, Timothée Chalamet spent an hour walking in circles. He experimented with each step, adjusted the swing of his gait, paused, reset, and brought his long fingertips together. He practiced this circular walk repeatedly until it appeared natural and effortless.
We are in a dance studio in Hell’s Kitchen, the neighborhood where 29-year-old Chalamet grew up. He is rehearsing for a challenging task that has troubled many actors before him: promoting his latest project as the leading man. This role can test an actor’s endurance or cause a slip-up during a late-night television appearance.
Chalamet’s Unique Press Tour Concept
Chalamet created a distinctive idea—his own concept—that might be likened to an acid trip set to the rhythm of a cadet march. Introducing the press tour for Marty Supreme: Chalamet at the center of a group of men dressed in black, each balancing a large cadmium-orange Ping-Pong ball on their heads, the size of a classroom globe.
“My superpower is my fearlessness.”
This unusual band of pumpkin-headed foot soldiers will be a signature of the tour as Chalamet takes this theatrical, album-release-style campaign on the road. The night before, he unveiled them on Instagram Live to an audience of 45,000 viewers, announcing the film's Christmas Day release date.
Summary
Timothée Chalamet’s fearless approach transforms his movie promotion into a bold, theatrical experience, redefining the typical press tour with innovative performance art.
