It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for one of New York’s most beloved residents, so it tracks that the tagline for his latest film is Dream Big.
From stacking major award nominations to shutting down SoHo with a now-iconic pop-up that had everyone wanting to get their hands on the film’s titular windbreakers, Timothée Chalamet has been everywhere and nowhere all at once—pure Marty Supreme behavior.
He lit up the Empire State Building in his signature blaze of orange, casually dropped into screenings to surprise fans, and somehow found time to make a song with Eskeekid, the rapper the internet was convinced had been him all along. (Vindication tastes sweet.)
It’s maximal, a little chaotic, deeply online, and unmistakably Chalamet: blurring the line between movie star and downtown myth, between performance and real life. Whether he’s embodying a dreamer on screen or living like one off it, Chalamet is doing what he does best, leaning all the way in and having the time of his life.
After going extremely viral on multiple fronts lately (the aforementioned rapper-gate, chants of Marty Supreme, Christmas Day echoing everywhere after his marketing zoom call skit, and so much more) Chalamet recently dropped his latest press move (or simply just Sunday afternoon activity, it’s a bit hard to tell with him) and it may be the biggest of all time.
This is not the first time Chalamet has been seen atop a giant glowing, orange orb—anyone who’s endured the nearly six-hour sweep of Dune Parts One and Two can attest—but he is the first ever person to scale the Las Vegas Sphere.
“Marty Supreme is an American film that comes out on Christmas Day, 2025,” Chalamet said in a video posted to his Instagram today. Though it was a bit unclear where he was at first, the video quickly zoomed out to reveal him perched on the Sphere, Las Vegas’s new ultra-modern entertainment colossus.
As the shot pulled back, the entire Sphere had been transformed into the unmistakable Marty Supreme orange—a hue anyone who survived the infamous Zoom-call marketing stunt would immediately recognize.
Chalamet’s cheers echoed across the desert skyline as the film’s title and its signature Dream Big tagline erupted across the glowing dome, showcasing exactly what this press tour has been: a perfect blend of Chalamet’s irrepressible charisma and what can only be described as endearing chaos.
During the admittedly rare moments Chalamet hasn’t been airborne this month—Marty Supreme blimps, the Empire State Building, we’re looking at you—he’s been doing one of his other classic moves: meeting fans. After a sneak preview of the film in October that basically shut down Times Square, he popped up at a handful of AMC theaters to personally introduce screenings, turning every showing into a mini-event.
At a showing at AMC Lincoln Square on December 18th, Chalamet said:
For your information, I’m doing this at every screening, for the next four days. I got 128 appearances in the next 96 hours.
For a celebrity of Chalamet’s caliber, moments like this would usually be rare—but not for him. Maybe it’s because he describes himself as a fan first, or maybe he just can’t resist reminding everyone to Dream Big. Either way, if Chalamet is any example, New York might just be the ultimate playground for dreaming big—loud, chaotic, iconic, and unmistakably orange.
