Kevin O’Leary recently got candid and opened up about his and Timothée Chalamet’s butt-paddling scene in Marty Supreme.
For those unaware, O’Leary and Chalamet starred as Milton Rockwell and Marty Mauser in the recently released film.
While giving an interview to The Hollywood Reporter on December 15, the 71-year-old Canadian businessman, television personality, and actor revealed that the 29-year-old American-French actor denied using a body double for their butt-paddling scene in Marty Supreme.
He went on to share that Marty is punished by his character Milton in a surprising scene, where he is hit several times with a paddle.
Calling to mind, O’Leary said, “That’s really Chalamet’s ass — he didn’t want the stunt double. I said, ‘Timmy, I’m going to have to belt your ass, are you sure you want to do this?’”
“He immortalized his ass on film for the rest of time. That scene freaks me out even now,” the Shark Tank judge noted.
Marty Supreme is about a pro table tennis player, Marty, whose dream is to stand victorious in the 1952 world championships.
After putting in significant efforts, he finally becomes successful in making enough money to travel to Japan and participate in the tournament there.
During his time in Japan, he meets Milton, a businessman, who starts taking interest in table tennis after their first meeting. However, he is actually Marty’s enemy.
It is pertinent to mention that Marty Supreme was released in the United States on December 25, 2025 under the banner of A24.
