Timothée Chalamet's latest move has left fans and critics alike scratching their heads, as the A24 star unleashed a cringeworthy Zoom call that he claimed was for his upcoming film, "Marty Supreme". The video, which was initially presented as a marketing meeting, quickly took on a life of its own as viewers realized it was actually a clever piece of meta-marketing.
In the video, Chalamet plays the role of an insufferable star whose fame has gone to his head. He constantly makes absurd suggestions and acts like an egomaniac, leaving his team struggling to keep up with him. The clip is as awkward as a Nathan Fielder sketch, with Chalamet's constant nodding and monologues making for uncomfortable viewing.
Chalamet's self-awareness and willingness to poke fun at himself are on full display in the video. He proposes that the "Barbie" movie's marketing was solely due to the color pink and wants "Marty Supreme" to be associated with a distinctive shade of orange - which, as it turns out, his visual artist spent six months coming up with (only to reveal a simple square).
The video ends with Chalamet suggesting that his team change the Statue of Liberty's color to orange and release blimps filled with ping-pong balls "on everyone". The cringe factor is high, but Chalamet's delivery only adds to it.
What started as a confusing clip quickly became a meme fest on social media. Comments under the video praised Chalamet's convincing performance, with one user likening his performance to Shia LaBeouf's antics. Another commenter joked that they'd seen marketing meetings like this before.
The full video has been viewed millions of times online, and fans are still trying to wrap their heads around it. The clip satirizes the idea of Chalamet losing his head to fame, which was reinforced when he shared a photo of himself from his infamous SAG Awards speech as his desktop background during the call.
"Marty Supreme" is scheduled for release on December 25, and with marketing efforts like this, it's possible that the film will get more attention than expected. The sports comedy-drama follows Chalamet's character, Marty Mauser, a dedicated table-tennis player aiming to become world champion. While sports dramas haven't been doing well lately, Chalamet's memorable attempts at marketing "Marty Supreme" might just change that.
In the end, Timothée Chalamet has proven once again why he's one of Hollywood's most popular figures - by embracing his own awkwardness and having a laugh with it.

like that's the most cringeworthy thing i've seen all year and honestly i love it? but also can we talk about how much time his visual artist spent coming up with a color called orange 
six months? that's some dedication fam. and i gotta say, timothée's performance is straight fire... or should i say, cringe fire 
, like literally cringeworthy but in the best way possible 
! he's playing this super egoistic version of himself where he's all about the movie "Marty Supreme" but really it's just him being extra and trying to be funny 
. i mean who comes up with an orange colour scheme for a movie?? 
? anyway, fans are loving it and making memes galore 
, and even his team is kinda in on the joke 
. The fact that it became a meme fest in minutes just shows how cleverly crafted it was. And can we talk about the ridiculousness of him suggesting changing the Statue of Liberty's color? 
. at least he's owning his own cringe and making fun of himself, that takes a big star 
.
.
. One thing's for sure, he's definitely made a statement with this video 
!
! Timothée Chalamet really commits to playing the role of an egomaniac star 
. His self-awareness and willingness to poke fun at himself are actually super admirable 
... just saying, maybe they should've asked Chalamet for some input before investing that much time 
.
. And who knows, maybe this kind of marketing will bring in some unexpected attention for "Marty Supreme" 
. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good meme fest on social media? 
This kind of marketing is exactly what we need more of - it's fresh, quirky, and utterly entertaining.
But what really gets me is how self-aware he is, poking fun at his own ego and antics 
. Anyway, if "Marty Supreme" delivers even half as much awkward charm as this video, I'll be rooting for it all the way 
. Can't wait to see "Marty Supreme" on December 25, it's gonna be lit
