Timothée Chalamet put on an animated performance on Wednesday as he shot new scenes for his new biopic, Marty Supreme, in New York City.
The Dune star, 28, looked almost unrecognisable as he transformed into famous ping-pong player Marty Reisman, who inspired upcoming film.
Dashing through the Big Apple, the actor swapped his usual fashion forward outfits for vintage style garb, with the streets and cars around him were also decorated to look straight out of the 1950s.
Timothée – who recently became an uncle – sported a pale blue shirt, left completely unbuttoned to show his white vest underneath.
He added a pair of tailored green slacks with a brown belt and black smart shoes, while carrying a leather briefcase.

Dashing through the Big Apple, the actor swapped his usual fashion forward outfits for vintage style garb, with the streets and cars around him were also decorated to look straight out of the 1950s
And ensuring he looked the part, the Oscar-nominated star sported a thin moustache and a pair of frameless round glasses.
Timothée could be seen swerving through extras to reach a fire escape ladder and climbing up the side of the building, looking as though he was being pursued.
While in between takes, director Josh Safdie could be seen chatting with his leading man and giving him notes.
Alongside Timothée, Marty Supreme also stars the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler the Creator and magician Penn Jillette.
The flick is set within the ping-pong culture of the 1950, but the plot has not been officially released, with IMDB stating it is ‘under wraps’.
But it is believed to be a ‘fictionalised original, rather than a biopic’ of Marty’s life.
Marty, who died aged 82 in 2012, was an American ping pong icon, winning the 1958 and 1960 U.S. Men’s singles champion and the 1997 U.S. hardbat champion.
He won five bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships and scooped 22 major table tennis titles from 1946 to 2002, including two United States Opens and a British Open.

Timothée’s next big role will see him take on the role of the legendary Bob Dylan , for the upcoming biopic, A Complete Unknown, which dropped its second trailer on Tuesday (pictured)
He became the oldest player to ever win an open national competition in a racket sport by winning the 1997 United States National Hardbat Championship at the age of 67.
As well as his sporting prowess, he was known for his flamboyant style, wearing Borsalino fedoras and Panama hats.
Timothée, who splits his time between New York and California, first rocketed to fame starring in the 2017’s Call Me by Your Name.
He became one of the youngest performers ever to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actor at age 21.
Since Call Me by Your Name, Timothée has starred in Greta Gerwig’s Ladybird (2017) and Little Women (2019) and landed a role in Wes Anderson’s comedy The French Dispatch (2021).
But the blooming talent cemented his status as a franchise superstar starring in two ambitious films based on the epic science fiction series Dune.
The star is currently dating Kylie Jenner, 27 – and it has been recently claimed the reality star wanted to keep her romance with the actor out of the public eye.
While his next big role will see him take on the role of the legendary Bob Dylan, for the upcoming biopic, A Complete Unknown, which dropped its second trailer on Tuesday.
