Timothée Chalamet Debuts Buzzcut in Stylized Instagram Reveal for ‘Marty Supreme

The stunt previews Josh Safdie’s A24 release set to hit theaters on Christmas Day.

Overview

  • Chalamet confirmed the cut in a five-minute Instagram Live video that showed him emerging from a container of orange ping-pong balls before removing headgear to reveal the shave.
  • The public reveal followed a New York Film Festival special screening the night before where a baseball cap left the sides of his head appearing bare.
  • People previously noted July photos from Saint-Tropez in which head coverings led observers to suspect his hair had been shaved.
  • Marty Supreme features Chalamet with costar Gwyneth Paltrow under director Josh Safdie, with A24 producing the sports drama.
  • WWD reported that frequent collaborator Christine Nelli did not handle the buzzcut, after a year in which Chalamet’s mid-length look influenced interest in the so-called old money haircut.
