GOLDEN Globe winner
Timothee Chalamet
has received a major
shoutout from Hollywood
star Robert Downey
Jr., who admitted
being blown away
by the actor's performance in
Marty Supreme.
During a special
event ,
Chalamet and
Downey came
together ,
where the
Marvel actor
couldn't help
but express
his pleased
reaction to
the Josh
Safdie film.
"One of those rare, rare occurrences, like a double-eclipse or something, one of those things that
is so uncommon when it happens, let alone to
someone who's so young.
To me, this is a decadedefining film, and I think it is a generation-defining performance," Downey said, referring to
Timothee Chalamet's performance.
As Robert Downey Jr went on to emphasise
how Marty Supreme will be remembered for a
long time, he even described the film as a "real
piece of art.""I'm flashing back to when you
were 22, with Call Me by Your Name, and then
to just a year or two ago, with A Complete
Unknown, and I go, 'My God, this guy is technically so evolved.'
And then I see this movie,
and I go, 'Oh, and now there's this other
thing!' Which is such a specificity of showing the psychic life of the character, building him from the inside-out and the outside-in. It's just an astonishing
achievement, dude," he added.
An overwhelmed Timothee Chalamet
expressed his deep gratitude to Downey,
stating that the latter's Chaplin performance has been a big inspiration for him.
