Timothée Chalamet brings to life the character of Marty in this film inspired by the real 1950s sports world, loosely based on table tennis hustler Marty Reisman’s life.
Set to release in the United States on Christmas 2025, the film is already drawing industry praise, with many calling it one of Chalamet’s standout performances.
He has even received Best Actor nominations from the Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards ahead of the upcoming award season.

At the Los Angeles premiere, Chalamet was joined by his girlfriend and reality TV sensation Kylie Jenner at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, where the two posed together and didn’t shy away from red carpet PDA.
They arrived in matching custom bright-orange Chrome Hearts ensembles, with Chalamet in a leather suit, an orange silk shirt, and orange boots.
He completed the look with a black Chrome Hearts leather bag shaped like a ping-pong paddle case draped over his shoulder, a subtle nod to his character’s obsession with the sport.

Meanwhile, Kylie stunned in a floor-length orange leather gown featuring triangular cutouts below her bust and along her waist, paired with a plunging neckline that revealed her cleavage.
The gown’s neckline was cinched at the midriff with a cross embellishment, a detail featured in her statement necklace adorned with several crosses in varying sizes.
She completed the look with orange pointed-toe pumps, sharp long orange nails, and even her blush and eyeshadow carried hints of orange.

Another added, “Makes me think of a jail fashion show,” while a third added, “Reminds me of how Kim looked with Kris Humphrey.. lmao.”

The Los Angeles premiere marked the second red carpet appearance for the Little Women star and the Kylie Cosmetics founder, serving as a loud statement to shut down swirling breakup rumors.

The speculation began after the pair were not seen together for several weeks, first sparking chatter in early November 2025.
Prior to their second joint red carpet appearance, the couple was last spotted together on October 8, cheering on the New York Yankees as they faced the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.
Rumors intensified when Chalamet was notably absent from Kylie’s mom Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday celebration on November 9.

According to a Daily Mail insider, “Chalamet has broken up with Kylie. This has happened before, but she talked him into getting back together. She is crazy about him, so that could well happen again.”
Another source added, “There is trouble in paradise, but they aren't completely over. He is filming quite a bit, and she feels that she has to chase him. She is putting in the work more than him.”

Timothée also declined to discuss Kylie in his recent Vogue cover story, titled The Universe According to Timothée.
The reporter noted that he “would not talk about his relationship with girlfriend Jenner.”
Chalamet added, “And I don’t say that with any fear, I just don’t have anything to say.”

However, their recent PDA-filled display on the red carpet suggests the couple is still going strong, despite the swirling rumors.
Staying true to tradition, this isn’t the first time the reality star has stepped out to support her partner at a major event.
During this year’s award season, including the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Oscars, Kylie was by his side, cheering for Chalamet as he attended as a nominee for his role as Bob Dylan in the biopic A Complete Unknown.
“It’s giving Megan Fox and MGK in a smaller font,” one social media user joked sarcastically
