Robert Pattinson Is the Only British Person Josh Safdie Knows

Robert Pattinson made a cameo in Marty Supreme, and not even the most try-hard Twihard would be able to clock it. In a conversation at BFI Southbank in London, director Josh Safdie revealed that Pattinson voices the ping-pong announcer in the British Open semifinals scene, narrating the match between Marty (Timothée Chalamet) and Bela Kletzki (Geza Rohrig). “It’s like a little Easter egg,” Safdie said. “He came and watched some stuff ,and I was like, ‘I don’t know any British people.’ So he’s the umpire.”

Whether or not it’s true that Safdie doesn’t know a single other British person personally, this isn’t even the first time an A-list (A-level?) Brit has made a vocal cameo in one of his films. In Uncut Gems, Tilda Swinton played an auction manager on the other end of a phone call with Howie (Adam Sandler.) But Safdie and Pattinson are buddies who go way back to when Pattinson starred in the 2017 Safdie brothers stressfest Good Time. Of all their favors between friends over the years, an uncredited voice-acting role is still second to the time Pattinson gifted Safdie a Toto Neoreset Japanese toilet.
