Here’s the real reason Timothee Chalamet refused a double for a** spanking scene
An actual paddle was used after the prop one broke on the first hit
So, it turns out that yes that is the actual a** of Timothee Chalamet that gets a whacked during the spanking scene in Marty Supreme.
During the scene, Marty asks wealthy power broker Milton Rockwell, played by Kevin O’Leary, to fund a tennis table rematch in Japan against his rival after he initially turned down Milton’s offer.
However, before Milton agrees to finance the rematch, he asks for payback in the form of Marty being publicly spanked on the a** with a table tennis paddle in front of a crowd.
When it came time to film the spanking scene for Marty Supreme, Timothee Chalamet was offered the option to sit out of the scene and use a stunt double, but he insisted on using the real thing.
Kevin O’Leary told Variety: “When it came time to whack him, there was a stunt ass. There was a double. Chalamet wouldn’t do it. He said he’ll do it himself. He didn’t want some other ass immortalized.
“I said, ‘Look, man, your a** is gonna be blistered. Let the stand-in a** do it.’ He said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘I can’t hold back. I’m gonna have to whack you’re a**.’ He said, ‘I don’t give a sh*t.’”
Kevin was supposed to use a fake paddle in order for the hit of the spanking not to be as intense, but it immediately broke after the first hit, meaning he had to use the real thing.
He revealed that the scene “went on for hours” with the director demanding over 40 takes, which meant filming continued until four in the morning.
