A daring promotional campaign for “Marty Supreme” saw Timothée Chalamet become the first person to appear atop The Sphere in Las Vegas, but his co-star, Odessa A’Zion, suggests the actor’s outward bravado masked a significant amount of fear.
A’Zion, who recently gained recognition for her role in “I Love LA,” shared her insights during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday, reflecting on the whirlwind of publicity surrounding the film’s release. The actress recounted a contrasting experience – a calm visit to the top of the Empire State Building – where she remained unfazed, while Chalamet was visibly “horrified.”
“Little Brother Energy”: A’Zion’s Protective Instincts
According to A’Zion, Chalamet’s anxiety was palpable during the New York City excursion. “This man was like, clinging to everything around him,” she revealed, adding with a laugh, “Yes, I felt like little brother energy, must protect.” This anecdote provides a striking contrast to the image of Chalamet confidently positioned on top of the iconic Las Vegas venue.
The revelation came as A’Zion discussed the extensive marketing efforts behind “Marty Supreme,” which included not only the high-profile Sphere stunt – described as resembling a giant ping pong ball – but also the rental of a blimp.
From Sphere to Kimmel: A Blunt Assessment
When A’Zion witnessed footage of Chalamet on The Sphere, she expressed disbelief, stating bluntly, “And I know he was s–tting his pants,” a comment that elicited laughter from the studio audience. The December video, posted on Chalamet’s Instagram, showcased the actor secured to the top of the structure, with the scene captured by drone footage.
