Marty Supreme is all about dreaming big and Timothée Chalamet said there’s one person who dreamed bigger than anyone: Susan Boyle.
Now, Boyle, who rose to fame on Britain’s Got Talent, has received a coveted Marty Supreme jacket as a tribute to her greatness.
The actor was previously asked by the BBC which British icons deserve the jacket, which he has been gifting to people he believes embody greatness. The legends on the list included David and Victoria Beckham, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper Fakemink, and Boyle.
“She dreamt big,” he told the broadcaster. “She dreamt bigger than all of us. Who wasn’t moved by that?” He was referring to Boyle’s Britain’s Got Talent appearance in 2009, during which she performed “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Misérables.

Boyle revealed that she had received her jacket, thanking Chalamet in a statement to the BBC. The outlet published a photo of the singer donning the sporty windbreaker.
When Boyle first heard Chalamet’s praise, she uploaded an Instagram post sharing she was “flattered” by the A Complete Unknown star’s kind words.
“Those early days were quite something, and to know that moment meant something to you all these years on truly humbles me,” she wrote in a caption. “We all start somewhere, with a dream and a bit of hope, don’t we? We should all dream big! I wish you every success as you continue to dream your own dream. Thank you for your kindness and for remembering that moment so fondly.”
