Timothée Chalamet’s Wild Ping-Pong Ball Stunt Idea
Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has pitched an outrageous promotional stunt for his upcoming film Marty Supreme: showering Camp Flog Gnaw festival-goers with ping-pong balls. During a Rolling Stone interview, the Wonka actor suggested the chaotic yet memorable idea to hype his rockstar biopic.
Why Camp Flog Gnaw?
Tyler, the Creator’s festival is the perfect stage for Chalamet’s antics. Known for surprise performances (Drake, Kanye West) and carnival-like energy, Camp Flog Gnaw thrives on unpredictability. “It’s about defying norms—just like Marty Supreme,” Chalamet said.
The Ping-Pong Ball Spectacle: Has It Been Done Before?
Artists like Travis Scott have used similar gimmicks, but Chalamet’s twist ties it to movie promotion. Rumors suggest a surprise performance or soundtrack teaser could accompany the stunt. Fans on Twitter are already buzzing, with one joking, “Turning Flog Gnaw into a ball pit? Iconic.”
Will the Stunt Actually Happen?
While Chalamet delivered the idea playfully, insiders hint that talks with festival organizers are ongoing. A Camp Flog Gnaw rep teased, “We’re always full of surprises,” neither confirming nor denying the plans.
What Is Marty Supreme About?
Directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya), the film follows a fictional rockstar (loosely inspired by Bowie and Jagger) navigating fame’s highs and lows. Chalamet trained intensively for the role, promising a “raw, electric” performance.
Chalamet’s History of Unconventional Promotions
From popping up in candy shops for Wonka to meme-filled Dune press tours, Chalamet loves bold marketing. The ping-pong ball idea might top them all—proving he’s a master at viral buzz.
