At the 2025 SAG Awards, Timothée Chalamet made a bold statement that has colored every facet of his life, from the press tour for his upcoming film Marty Supreme to the way he approaches his craft.
The 2025 SAG Awards Declaration
The 29-year-old actor announced his intentions at the awards ceremony, and the confidence and honesty he displayed have seeped into every part of his career. Critics say his level of self-assuredness has even raised eyebrows during the recent press tour for Marty Supreme.
“In the Spirit of Marty” – Promotion Philosophy
During an interview with IndieWire published on Dec. 19, Chalamet explained his approach:
> “This is in the spirit of Marty,” he told IndieWire. “This is ultimately an original film at a time when original movies aren’t really put out. It’s a movie about the pursuit of a dream. I’m leaving it on the field. Whether it’s the merch or the Zoom or the media appearances, I’m trying to get this out in the biggest way possible.”
He also highlighted the film’s visual flair:
> “It’s all – yes, the orange Marty blimp, ping-pong ball-headed entourage and limited-edition windbreaker – as he put it, “In the spirit of Marty Mauser.”
The promotional tactics mirror the protagonist’s relentless energy, and the actor’s partnership with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, has amplified the orange theme across social media.
Dylan’s Lyric as a Source of Inspiration
Chalamet cited a Bob Dylan lyric that he feels resonates with his journey:
> “He who is not busy being born is busy dying.”
He added that the line reminds him to keep pushing forward:
> “Certainly, everyone needs respite and relaxation and healing at times, and I’m not speaking in some maniacal pursuit way,” he explained, “but with such a unique lifestyle and career opportunity, that is to say, to work at a high level, why not be passionate about it at all? I’ve always given it my all.”
Artistic Growth and Technical Approach
When asked about his development as an actor, Chalamet noted:
> “It’s in formation,” he added. “My foundation has gotten stronger as an artist. So my canvas board got bigger, or my palette.”
He also described how he tackles each role:
> “I have a technical approach to every role I’ve done,” Chalamet explained. “That process and approach is different. It’s not like I have a playbook. But when it comes down to it, production days, 12 hours usually, there’s not a lot of time to be doubtful, not even like in a combative sense, or as an athletic showman.”
> “You’re getting through the day, if you’re lucky, and disciplined, and keep a level of focus for that.”
Chalamet referenced his earlier work to illustrate this growth, naming Bones and All, Call Me By Your Name, Beautiful Boy, and The King as films that helped shape his artistry.
Cast, Release, and Behind-the-Scenes Highlights
*Marty Supreme* also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, and Tyler, The Creator. The film will hit theaters nationwide on Dec. 25. Paltrow recently shared her daughter Apple’s reaction to landing a role opposite Chalamet, offering holiday hot takes for fans.
The movie’s release is set for the holiday season, positioning it as a potential family-friendly, high-energy adventure that showcases Chalamet’s unfiltered enthusiasm and creative vision.
