Timothée Chalamet traded his iconic wavy hair for a dramatic shaved head for his role in the upcoming sports drama Marty Supreme, giving fans a first look in a surreal video. The new style passed the ultimate test as his rumored girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, subtly showed her approval during a recent public outing with the actor in New York City.
October 9, 2025: Hollywood heartthrob Timothée Chalamet has swapped his signature coiffed curls for a dramatic buzzcut, debuting the new look for his upcoming film, Marty Supreme. The bold transformation, which the actor teased in a quirky Instagram video, quickly received a stamp of approval from rumored girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Chalamet, who also co-produces the film, revealed his freshly shaved head in a surreal, high-energy clip promoting the Josh Safdie-directed sports comedy-drama. The video shows a hoodie-clad character wearing an oversized, starred table tennis ball on their head before dramatically tearing off the headgear to reveal the actor’s new, striking look, complete with glasses.
“Timmy’s livestream 2 yay!” the Dune star captioned the post, tagging director of photography Aidan Zamiri and cinematographer Greig Fraser, confirming the transformation is for his lead role.
The film, Marty Supreme, is a gonzo caper loosely inspired by the life of iconic 1950s American table tennis hustler, Marty Reisman. Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser, a cocky young man striving for greatness in the disrespected sport. The cast also features Gwyneth Paltrow and Shark Tank‘s Kevin O’Leary.
Fans and Girlfriend React to the New Look
The drastic haircut immediately sent fans “berserk,” with many taking to social media to declare the beginning of the “Marty Supreme Era.” Comments from friends and followers ranged from humorous remarks like, “No way bro went from Willy Wonka to Walter White in one haircut,” to high praise from those who found the buzzcut “unironically the best he has ever looked.”
Further cementing the new look’s status, Chalamet was later spotted in New York City with Kylie Jenner. Weeks after their last public display of affection, the pair were photographed walking together, with Chalamet tenderly placing his hand on the beauty mogul’s shoulder. Jenner’s public outing with the actor right after his hair reveal confirmed her subtle approval of his latest professional commitment.
Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems), is slated to hit theaters on Christmas Day.
