Timo Boll Recounts Grueling 'Marty Supreme' Shoot With Timothée Chalamet

Boll says the cameo demanded period‑specific technique drilled via scripted rallies before the German opening.

Overview

  • Boll says he spent his first week retraining to play in a 1950s style and learning scripted ball paths with Chalamet.
  • Some shoots ran until 2:00 a.m., and a three-hour take left him with muscle soreness the next day.
  • The 44-year-old appears briefly in the film in a short cameo.
  • Chalamet repeatedly rehearsed scenes on set, sought explanations, and showed clear respect for professional athletes.
  • Marty Supreme opens in German cinemas on 26 February, after Chalamet won a Golden Globe in January for his lead performance.
