Timothée Chalamet is known to completely transform for his roles. Sometimes, that transformation is on a deep emotional level, such as in his breakout 2017 film Call Me by Your Name. In the Luca Guadagnino-directed movie, Chalamet plays Elio, a 17-year-old boy who has a tumultuous summer when he begins a romantic relationship with his dad's intern, Oliver. The actor's transcendent performance earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. His next Guadagnino film, Bones and All, would see him in an almost unrecognizable performance as a young cannibal.

Later this year, Chalamet will go through an on-screen metamorphosis once again. This time, it is in the form of the James Mangold-helmed biopic A Complete Unknown, which sees the 28-year-old play a young Bob Dylan. Though the film releases to the public on Christmas Day on December 25, Chalamet has already earned immense praise for the part, including a Golden Globe nomination. The actor will most likely be up for Best Actor this year, with a good chance at the win. After A Complete Unknown, Chalamet will soon transform himself again for a sports movie.

Chalamet Reveals How His Eyesight Was Altered For Marty Supreme

Chalamet's Vision Is Just Now Coming Back

Chalamet reveals how his eyes were messed up by the Marty Supreme film shoot. Marty Supreme is a movie about a ping pong player named Marty, and is loosely inspired by the life of real-life table tennis star Marty Reisman. The film is directed by Josh Safdie, and will be Safdie's first feature film since his creative split with his brother Benny. In addition to Chalamet, Marty Supreme is set to feature a leading cast including Fran Drescher, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler the Creator, Odessa A'zion, and Sandra Bernhard.

Speaking on This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Chalamet reveals how the filming for Marty Supreme ended up messing with his eyesight. The actor explains that to make his eyes look smaller for the film, Safdie had him wear s as well as "real glasses that f*ck [his] eyes up." The actor says that this setup damaged his eyesight, which Chalamet said was "basically f*cked up until a day ago." Check out the full quote from Chalamet below:

On ‘Marty Supreme,’ I’m wearing s because he wanted my eyes to be little. He gave me real glasses that fuck my eyes up and I’m wearing s underneath to offset what the glasses are doing. My vision was basically fucked up until a day ago.

Our Take On Chalamet's Marty Supreme Look

It Is Distinct From His Other Films

Whatever Safdie and his team did to achieve Chalamet's Marty Supreme look, they did it successfully in of physical appearance. Initial set photos revealed Chalamet with the glasses and stylized hair, with an appearance that is nearly unrecognizable from the likes of Paul Atreides or Willy Wonka. It sounds like the production may have gone to some extremes to get Chalamet to look this different, but they did at least create a distinct look from the film that will likely be updated soon as more information is revealed about Marty Supreme.
