Director Josh Safdie shared that Robert Pattinson actually appeared in Marty Supreme, though it was a brief, uncredited role. The film is a drama inspired by the story of table tennis player Marty Reisman, so you might not have noticed him!
Timothée Chalamet plays Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme, a 1950s-set film about a determined shoe salesman from New York who dreams of becoming a professional table tennis player.
Early in the movie, a thrilling match takes place between Marty and Hungarian champion Bela Kletzki at the British Open semi-finals. A clip from the scene, shared on Twitter/X by Rotten Tomatoes, reveals Robert Pattinson voicing the umpire, though he doesn’t appear on screen.

According to director Safdie, speaking at a BFI Southbank event (as reported by Variety), the voice of the commentator and umpire in the film is actually actor Pattinson.
It was a surprising discovery that almost no one was aware of. He showed up to observe things, and since I hadn’t met anyone from Britain before, he ended up being the official judge.

In the film, Pattinson stars as Connie, a petty criminal trying to get his brother, who has developmental disabilities (played by Benny Safdie), released from police custody, all while staying out of jail himself.
Featuring Timothée Chalamet and Robert Pattinson, Marty Supreme also includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Fran Drescher, and Tyler Okonma, known as Tyler, the Creator.
Before it even came out, the movie received a 96% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. While that number has slightly decreased to 93%, it’s still incredibly positive, based on 296 reviews.
Digital Spy gave Marty Supreme a five-star review, calling it a truly special film and highlighting the excellent performances from the whole cast.
The reviewer praised Timothée Chalamet’s acting and the film’s unpredictable story, but noted it wasn’t about table tennis despite appearances.
