In the hit movie, Marty Supreme, Timothée Chalamet's performance as Marty Mauser, a young New Yorker in the 1950s, was so intense that it took hours to film and over 40 takes to get right. The scene in question, where Chalamet's character is spanked, was particularly challenging. His co-star, Kevin O'Leary, recalled the filming process, stating that Chalamet refused to use a body double and insisted on performing the scene himself. O'Leary added that a real paddle was used after a fake one broke, and the shooting went on for hours. The movie, which has been a hit in the US, has grossed over $27 million over the four-day Christmas weekend, with strong reviews. Chalamet, who has been making headlines with his eccentric press tour, has expressed pride in the film, and it is widely expected that he will receive an Oscar nomination for his role. But here's where it gets controversial... Some viewers might question the ethics of such a scene, especially when it involves a young actor. What do you think? Do you think the scene was necessary for the story, or was it too much? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
