As the camera pans out, the Oscar nominee throws his hands up into the air as he is revealed to be standing atop the Las Vegas Sphere, which has been transformed into a giant orange ping pong ball. "Dream big" he yells, echoing the movie’s theme.

The 29-year-old unveiled the eye-catching stunt that saw him facing his fear of height, proving he isn’t afraid to think big.

The jaw-dropping promotional moment for Marty Supreme left fans divided, with many praising him for conquering his fears while others insisted he still looked "terrified."

One noted on X formerly Twitter, "he could barely get on the balcony on the empire state building who convinced him to do this?"

"His love for film convinced him," another chimed in.

A third appreciated the A Complete Unknown actor's efforts, writing, "I loved it, Timothée is going the extra mile and i think he is enjoying it. Go, Timothée, spread your wings, butterfly!"
