French-American actor Timothée Chalamet took home the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy on Sunday, winning for his performance as an aspiring Jewish table tennis champion in “Marty Supreme.”
The film follows Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a shoe store employee with dreams of professional ping-pong stardom in 1950s America. The role draws inspiration from Jewish ping-pong legend Marty Reisman.
Chalamet bested a competitive field including Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Ethan Hawke, Lee Byung-hun and Jesse Plemons at Sunday’s 83rd Golden Globe ceremony in Beverly Hills.
Born in Manhattan to a multicultural family, the 30-year-old Chalamet traces his Jewish heritage through his Ashkenazi mother, Nicole Flender, making him Jewish according to halachah (Jewish law).
His father, a French journalist from Nîmes, comes from a Protestant background. Under traditional Jewish law, his maternal lineage defines his Jewish identity.
