Timothée Chalamet looked unrecognisable with a mustache and slicked-back hair as he transformed into a 1950s ping-pong player Marty Reisman in a new biopic.
The Dune actor, 28, returned to his childhood home in the Big Apple as he was sighted on Wednesday looking worlds away from his usual trendy self as he shot the upcoming film, which is called Marty Supreme.
For the tense-looking scenes, Timothée, who stars as late ping-pong player Marty, turned back time once again in a brown pin-striped suit.
His two-piece featured a double-breasted blazer with oversized lapels, which he layered over an off-white shirt.
Adding a pop of colour, the Wonka star was the epitome of 1950s chic as he accessorised with a pale blue skinny tie and some circular glasses.

Timothée’s new look was world’s away from his usual long locks and edgy clothes
In the scenes, Timothée was seen stepping out of an iconic glossy black Hudson Hornet, which can now be sold at auction for up to £100,000.
Soon after, the Call Me By Your Name actor—who recently transformed into Bob Dylan — was spotted screaming in to the car window while it was being driven away.
He then continued his rampage down the streets of New York while he angrily clenched his fists outside a theatre hall.
The new Josh Safdie picture is a project set within the ping-pong culture of the 1950s.
Leading actor Timothée stars alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler the Creator and magician Penn Jillette.
The plot for the new film has not been official released and IMDB states that the ‘plot is under wraps’.
But it is believed to be a ‘fictionalised original, rather than a biopic’ on 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.
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.
