What if Timmy had damaged his eyesight to more accurately play the nearsighted Marty Mauser? Would you forget about the ballet stuff<\/a> then? \u201cPage Six<\/a>\u201d is getting into how Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet used specially designed contact lenses to impair his vision for Marty Supreme<\/a>. \u201cTo truly embody Marty, he needed very realistic-looking glasses, with a certain thickness and myopic or narrow-looking eyes,\u201d optometrist Dr. Mitchell Cassel said. \u201cTimoth\u00e9e wanted the glasses to feel earned rather than costume. The goal was to not only deliver thick lenses but to create the experience of needing them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chalamet wore contacts that induced nearsightedness, then wore glasses over them to correct that. Director Josh Safdie explained the process back in December. \u201cWe said, \u2018We\u2019re going to put +10 contact lenses in your eyes, and we\u2019re going to put -10 prescription lenses in front of them,\u2019\u201d Safdie said, per Variety<\/a>. \u201cSo that when his glasses fall off, he can\u2019t see shit.\u201d Safdie went on to say the experience was literally dizzying for Chalamet, as he described the feeling as being \u201cin a fishbowl.\u201d Chalamet also said, \u201cI\u2019ll do anything you ask me to do.\u201d Will that commitment pay off on Sunday<\/a>? Not even -10 glasses can help us see that.<\/p>\n
