Timothee has gone through intense training for his role in the upcoming film 'Marty Supreme', where he plays real-life ping pong legend Marty Reisman.

According to the film's cinematographer, Darius Khondji, Chalamet trained "for months and months" to prepare for the part. Khondji revealed this while speaking to Variety on the sidelines of the Doha Film Institute's Qumra workshop.

Khondji said he hasn't seen the final film yet, but, "Everything I hear is spectacular. The shooting was so hard and crazy."

Ping pong legend Reisman was known for his unique personality and skills, having started out as a street hustler in New York before winning over 20 major ping pong titles between 1946 and 2002. Chalamet worked hard to look and move like a real professional."...because you can do anything, any camera tricks you want, but you need to have a core. He wanted to be like a real [professional] ping pong player when he started shooting," Khondji told Variety.
