Susan Boyle Serenades Timothée Chalamet on His 30th, Extending the ‘Marty Supreme’ Jacket Phenomenon

The Britain’s Got Talent singer’s tribute, shared by A24 after Chalamet gifted her the film’s buzzy jacket, underscores a social media strategy that turns merch into promotion.

Overview

  • Boyle sang Happy Birthday to Chalamet in a video posted by A24, wearing a ‘Marty Supreme’ jacket, and he reposted the clip with a thank-you on Instagram.
  • The exchange followed Chalamet praising Boyle in a BBC interview and sending her the branded jacket, which she confirmed receiving, saying it “fits like a glove.”
  • Chalamet, his stylist, and A24 devised the jacket campaign with designer Doni Nahmias, seeding pieces to public figures and fueling a limited public release that sold out.
  • Recipients highlighted in coverage include Tom Brady, Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner and others, helping the merch become a viral calling card for the film.
  • Chalamet marked his 30th with throwback photos and a reported star-studded party in Los Angeles, as Marty Supreme plays in theaters with its ‘dream big’ theme front and center.
