Timothée Chalamet dances to "Crank That" and wears fan-made flag of his face during high-energy visit to Brazil.

During his appearance at CCXP in So Paulo, Timothe Chalamet delighted fans while promoting his upcoming film Marty Supreme. The actor took the stage and showed off his dance skills to Soulja Boys 2007 hit Crank That (Soulja Boy), donning a jacket inspired by the Brazilian flag with the films logo.

Director Josh Safdie joined Chalamet on the expo floor to discuss the movie, which will be released in theaters by A24 on December 25. The audience erupted in applause as Chalamet briefly danced to the song before sitting down for a conversation about the film.

During the interaction with fans, a member of the crowd handed Chalamet a Brazilian flag featuring a large image of his face. He draped the flag over his shoulders, creating a playful moment before resuming the panel. Wearing a tank top and track pants, Chalamet radiated high energy throughout the event.

Chalamet and Safdie repeatedly encouraged fans to watch Marty Supreme. The actor quipped, If you dont like good movies, dont go see Marty Supreme. When asked what he learns from his character, Marty Mauser, an aspiring table tennis player in 1950s New York, Chalamet said, What I take from Marty is to keep dreaming, believe in yourself, and not fear negative opinions. If you get the chance to come out and dance in So Paulo you know what Im saying?

Later in the evening, Chalamet and Safdie participated in a longer panel that included clips from the film. Attendees were also given orange ping-pong balls as a souvenir. Marty Supreme marks Josh Safdies first solo directorial effort, following his collaborations with his brother Benny Safdie on projects like Good Time and Uncut Gems. The cast features Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa Azion, Kevin OLeary, and Tyler, the Creator.

The director described the film as a story about a hardcore dreamer and the obstacles the world throws at someone chasing their dreams. Chalamet also cited past performers such as Denzel Washington and Leonardo DiCaprio as inspirations for his own career.

Critics have praised Marty Supreme, with David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter highlighting Chalamets hot-wired performance and calling the film an exhilarating sports comedy that captures the essence of early 1950s New York while offering a fresh, genre-defying take.
