Timothée Chalamet & Gwyneth Paltrow Answer Rapid-Fire Questions | Off the Cuff | Vogue

What's the most niche fact about table tennis you learned in the making of this film? I didn't learn anything about table tennis. Alright, let's be honest. I just watched you play it. You were very impressive, but I learned no facts. I love an honest Gwyneth. What's up, Vogue? This is Timothee Chalamet. And I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. And this is Off the Cuff. Okay, round one, icebreakers. What's an interesting fact you learned recently? I learned recently that tomatoes have more DNA than human beings. How'd you learn that? I think because I was planting heirloom tomatoes and I started to read about tomatoes. And that's what it said. I would not have guessed that at all. What's the last movie you watched? It might have been Tron Legacy on the flight back from Abu Dhabi with Jeff Bridges and Garrett Headland and Olivia Wilde. Wow, never heard of it. Great Daft Punk score. Oh, cool. What was the first album you bought? The Go-Go's first album, which was called, I can't remember, but it had Our Lips Are Sealed on it. Are you a Go-Go's fan? No. That's the first album you bought with your own money? Yes. What was the first album you got? Maybe Michael Jackson? Bad? No, honey. I don't know. Bad. Is that later or early? Let's skip to the next question. What is your go-to song that you sing in the car? Do you go musical? Do you go R&B? Do you go rap? These days it's been Lady by D'Angelo. When I want to sing, I usually put on Bonnie Raitt. Who? Bonnie Raitt. I probably... No, I don't know. She's an amazing Americana singer and she has the most beautiful voice. I'll text you a song. Do you know Way's Blood? Who? Way's Blood. What's that? She's kind of like a Lana Del Rey world a little bit. That's like Americana. She did a voice on Marie Supreme. She did some of the background vocals. But I'm going to check out... Bonnie Raitt. And I'm going to check out... Way's Blood. When is the last time you caused chaos by accident? I think that should be a question for you. Okay. Because it wouldn't be by accident, would it? Remember when you went to the Timothee Chalamet look-alike contest? That was on purpose. Maybe that's not by accident. That was on purpose. I'm trying to think. When I caused chaos? Under what circumstance would I cause chaos? I made a terrible dinner the other night by accident. What was on the menu? Well, it was just supposed to be roast chicken, and I totally biffed it. That sounds simple, though. I know. Exactly. I was doing a wardrobe fitting for all this press and everything. You're supposed to put it in at room temperature, and I put it in cold, and it made it kind of rubbery. How did it come out badly? Oh, rubbery. Okay. Wasn't good. Like undercooked? No, just the texture was weird. Okay. All right. That was chaos to me. Round two, getting personal. Getting personal. Oh. What is the funniest moment we have had together? I liked seeing you get a little impatient sometimes because you carried a voice of authority, which was refreshing. Even as one of the lead characters in the movie, I don't feel like I could ever forget that. Say like, guys, what the hell are we doing? Yeah, yeah. What is taking so long? And Gwyneth's frustration was guttural. I think what people don't understand is when you're doing a scene and it's intense, it's like you want to keep going. On this movie in particular, there was a lot of chill. Darius Ganji, the cinematographer, was a legend, and we had a lot of people that were demanding space, and then the time for us to get tacked on camera, we'd get lost in the cracks a little bit. But you always spoke up. I thought that was great, and that would give me a laugh because I would go, wow, Gwyneth's got to go home. She's got stuff to do. She does. She's got a helicopter to catch to go to Wildflower Farms. She does, definitely. Okay. What is your go-to comfort food when you're off set? It'll be like southern comfort. I pretend like I'm from Baton Rouge or something. I'll have mac and cheese and fried chicken. Biscuits. Collard greens. Okra. And that'll fill me up for two days because I'm a thin guy. When you're working, are you careful about what you eat? Yeah, definitely. Increasingly as I get older. I feel like in my early 20s, mid-20s, you can kind of just... And now I'm very... Now it's pathetic. I'll have a cheat night that's not anything crazy and I'm out. Tell us a little known fact about you. I have a very raunchy sense of humor that not a lot of people see or hear. Yeah, I can guess that. What is one thing we disagree on? I think we have a cordial, respectful relationship. I mean, we've never had an overt disagreement. No. That'd be hilarious. I think we... That'd be awesome. On set, screaming at each other. Just screaming at each other on set. That would be horrible. That would help the movie. I would be traumatized. That would sell tickets. All right, round three. Marty Supreme, let's see. What was your first day on set like? My first day was our costume test, but do you think they mean the real first day? Yeah, what was your first shoot day? Was it together? Oh, yeah. You were there. Yeah, that was your first day? That was my first day. That whole play sequence? That whole play sequence was my first day, which actually was a blessing because I was nervous. I started in theater, so when I was like, I felt, okay, at least I'm on the stage. That's an interesting one to start with. You started pretending you were in a play. Yeah. Were you happy to be there, or did you have any buyer's remorse or accepting remorse? I was so happy to be there. I felt nervous, but then very quickly, I was like, oh, this is fun. We're blocking a play, and there was a lot of freedom. I was like, where do I stand? He's like, **** that. Just whatever. I was like, oh, my God. That kind of freedom was exhilarating, but also a little scary. That was that hilarious part where you came out and did the ... That was so fun. That was where I laughed. I broke a few times during that scene. That whole play would make me laugh. That play. When you guys did it. Fred was amazing. You're a co-star. Did you have a moment where you went back in your trailer, and you looked at the mirror, and you went, I'm back, baby? No. Okay. I did not do that. Okay. No. I would have done that. What's something unexpected you did to prepare for your role in Marty Supreme? A lot of videos of watching giraffes. They have a certain elongated posture and way of ... Is this a true story? Yeah. I mean, if you really watch the movie closely, you'll see that there are moments mid-scene where I'll elongate. I'm serious. What's the connection between ... Why were you personifying a giraffe? Because that's the original logo on any ITTF World Championship balls. I always had a giraffe on them. And then it was only a recent thing where they took all the giraffes off. How involved were you in selecting your characters? Am I being punked? How involved were you in selecting your characters' wardrobe? I would say the regular amount. I love clothes. I love costumes. And I do feel like the costumes are sort of at least part of the battle. I love to really feel like I'm inhabiting the character when I'm in the costume. But you had amazing costumes in this, right? Incredible. And Miyako was great, right? Miyako was unbelievable. I mean, it was basically like we just looked through a lot of pictures, and then we tried on a million vintage different suits, and then we just talked about it. But I mean, she is just so extraordinarily talented. Yeah, hugely. Which one of Marty's fits was your favorite? What does that mean? The ... Fits? Come on, Gwyneth, you know that. Fits? Fits. Like outfits? It's an acronym. What is it? You know fits. I don't. My favorite Marty Supreme outfit was the mint ... Wait, hold on. Yeah. What's the acronym of fit? It's like I can't tell you if ... I guess there's an initiation. Next question. No, no. My favorite Marty Supreme outfit was the fresh mint short sleeve tee, sweater like so over it. Very fresh. What did you wear that in, Lexi? That's in the lunch sequence with Kevin O'Leary in Paris. That was one of my first day shooting, and I was still walking around outside with ... You know, Josh would **** up my eyes to put real glasses on them, and I was walking outside of New York. I really couldn't see a thing. But at least you had a good outfit on. I had a good outfit. Or a good fit. Excuse me. Come on. Lock it in. What is this look from? That's ... Oh, it's like embarrassing to know so quickly. It was like a pre-SAG Awards party. I was like 16 or 17. I got tomato sauce on my face in that picture because I didn't know there was going to be any pictures. I literally have tomato sauce on my ... There you go. If you look closely, yeah, I got tomato sauce on the left side of my face there. And this one? Oh, I know what that is. In fact, I still have that. That is from ... I went to a premiere. I feel like I've seen this. Oh, that's very 90s. Yeah. This is a Pinterest favorite right here. Do you ever feel like, wow, I am representative of the coolest generation in Hollywood and all that? I don't generally think that, but ... You don't look in the mirror and go, I'm back, baby. No. Do you? I think we're slacking. You guys were all killing it. The 90s had a good ... We had a good vibe going. Unbelievable. It was fun. Do you feel like it's hard for things not to feel referential now? Yes, extremely. I wonder why that is. Because I've seen everything before. There you go. Did you get a Converse idea from someone? No. I was my own stylist. There were no stylists back then. Really? Yeah. Super fresh. When I would do a red carpet, I would literally get look books from designers and go through and pick out stuff. It was fun. It was very lo-fi, so you could really express your style. Very Gen X. It's like, we're too cool to try that hard. That was sort of the vibe. What about this? Huh. Oh, I know who this is. Oh, is that Marty Reisman? It is. Marty Reisman. What a cool guy. Damn. Fresh. Okay, and finally, this one. Oh! You know who this is. It's Kevin. Yeah. And his dual watches. Dual watches. Wait, can you remind me why his character wore two watches? Because he wears two. He just wanted ... Those were his personal watches in the movie, and as he said to me, if these make it in the movie, they're going to go up in value. Oh, yeah, because he's a collector. He's a collector. Okay, round four. Lightning round. Read receipts on or off? Off. Off, yeah. Like where it says read on your text? No, no. Yeah. What about you? Off. That's an interesting psychological profile when people do that, and it's not the same type of person. There's a variety of person. This is supposed to be a lightning round. Cool. Let's go. Script or improv? Both. Now or later? Like the candy? I said later. Oh, my God. Later candy. Wow. Later. Text or call? Call. Oh, old fashioned. Sweet or savory? Savory. Never or forever? Forever. Oh. New York or L.A.? New York. Tough, tough, tough. Damn. What about you? No loyalty. New York. Yeah, so what? Yeah, but aren't you? I grew up in New York. Oh, you did? Yeah. I was born here, but I mostly grew up in New York. See, I just, I think of the Architectural Digest. I think of, you know, I grew up in New York. Oh, last one. Yes or no? Yes. Okay. Yes, like the Jim Carrey film. He's very, he's a go-getter, guys. Yes, exactly. Vogue, thank you for having us. Thanks for having us, Vogue. See you next time.
