The sports drama Marty Supreme, featuring high-profile actors Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, also includes a subtle contribution from Robert Pattinson that has just been disclosed. This unexpected detail highlights Pattinson’s unique involvement in the film beyond the main cast. The revelation came during a recent discussion at London’s BFI cinema.
Details of Pattinson’s Role as the British Open Umpire
Marty Supreme centers on Marty Mauser, a confident and driven table tennis competitor, portrayed by Timothée Chalamet, who has earned awards such as the Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice for this performance. In addition to its prominent cast, the film includes a lesser-known connection to Pattinson.
Josh Safdie, the film’s director, shared during the London event,
“No one knows this, but that voice — the commentator, the umpire — is Pattinson,”
followed by,
“It’s like a little easter egg. Nobody knows about that. … He came and watched some stuff, and I was like, I don’t know any British people. So he’s the umpire.”
This confirms Pattinson’s voice serves as the British Open umpire heard in the background of a key table tennis scene shot at Wembley Arena.
Connection Between Pattinson and Chalamet Beyond Marty Supreme
The duo’s collaboration extends beyond this film, as they previously starred together in Netflix’s The King (2019). Their partnership continues in the upcoming Dune sequel, where Robert Pattinson will portray a villain named Scytale. This ongoing professional relationship adds further interest to Pattinson’s subtle cameo in Marty Supreme.

Reflecting on his first encounter with Timothée Chalamet, Josh Safdie described the moment from 2017 at a party for his film Good Time. Safdie said,
“An agent came up to me and said, ‘I want to introduce you to the next superstar,’ which is already a red flag,”
and added,
“And he’s got these wide eyes and he’s like in the corner of the room, there but not where he wants to be, and he just had this supreme vision of himself. He was like Timmy Supreme, and it was intense.”
This story underscores Chalamet’s early ambition before rising to fame.
