Timothée Chalamet has revealed he was threatened by a non-professional actor while filming an intense scene in Marty Supreme. In the sports comedy-drama, the recent Golden Globe winner plays an outspoken and overconfident table tennis champion who hustles and swindles to make money to travel to ping pong championships. During a Q&A with Robert Downey Jr. in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Chalamet recalled Marty's heated exchange with a man at a motel, played by a non-professional. ”I won't say who, but in that motel sequence, there are a lot of non-actors... that I find it really thrilling to work with, but sometimes it would take multiple takes to really get something out of them. And I'm really getting in the guy's face and I'm really trying to get him angry with me.” Chalamet told his director, Josh Safdie, that the actor refused to get mad at him, and in the next take, he warned the 30-year-old that he didn't want to see him angry. ”I did another take, and then the guy said, 'I was just in jail for 30 years. You really don't want to f--k with me. You don't want to see me angry,' I said to Josh, 'Holy s--, who do you have me opposite, man?’" Chalamet won one of the best actor awards at the Golden Globes for his performance in Marty Supreme on Sunday. He has also won a Critics Choice Award and is nominated for an Actor Award, formerly known as a Screen Actors Guild Award. Elsewhere in the Q&A, Downey Jr. and Chalamet noted that their next movies - Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three - will be released on the same day, on 18 December. Inspired by the 2023 Barbenheimer phenomenon, when Barbie and Oppenheimer were released at the same time, Downey Jr. and Chalamet have come up with a name for their release day. ”We both have films opening on December 18, and we decided to coin it... We're thinking Dunesday," the Marvel actor said, before quipping, "We'll see if we're still friends by then."
