“No superhero movies”
Almost everyone knows that Timothée Chalamet emerged and was loved by a global audience through the romantic film Call me by your name . The star born in 1995 had a period of constant supporting roles, even casting for the role of Marvel’s Spider-Man but in the end had to lose to a somewhat more resilient Tom Holland.
However, it’s okay not to act in a superhero movie, because fans believe that Timothée Chalamet’s turning point was when he co-starred with Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie Don’t Look Up . The Titanic actor once told his junior: “Don’t use stimulants and don’t act in superhero movies.”
Indeed, just looking at the superhero movie genre that is dying, leading to stars whose roles are “dead” and unable to regain the audience’s affection, we can see how true that advice is. Timothée Chalamet flourished continuously with critically acclaimed films such as : Lady Bird , Beautiful Boy , Little Women , The French Dispatch or Dune , along with countless prestigious awards.
Talented from a young age, Timothée Chalamet said no to superhero movies
Critics commented that Timothée Chalamet has an innate charm and touching sadness. Chalamet’s charm is not that of a sinewy, strong, generous, loud-speaking type, it’s like a guy who always swallows pain and tears inside, to appear “manly”.
Like when playing the sandy hero Paul Atreides in Dune directed by Denis Villeneuve. Chalamet brings new breath to the character, without any influence or pressure from Kyle MacLachlan in the 1984 film version. Many psychologically heavy segments with close-up camera angles require him to use his eyes and muscles. face to portray the inner feelings of a young man carrying the fate of the nation on his shoulders. Chalamet brings a high level of acting art to cinema, making many “portable flower vases” perhaps ashamed of themselves.
Another impressive highlight can be mentioned in The French Dispatch , when he played the role of Zeffirelli – a revolutionary student. He is the self-appointed leader of a rebellion. The film is director Wes Anderson’s love letter to journalists, inspired by his love of The New Yorker and Chalamet’s unique transformation.
Career and love are clearly separated
Timothée Chalamet is considered one of the most romantic stars in Hollywood as he has dated many women. The first was Lourdes Leon (daughter of famous singer Madonna) in 2013, or Lily-Rose Depp (daughter of Johnny Depp) in October 2018 after first meeting on the set of The King . In 2020, Timothée Chalamet was caught up in dating rumors with Fast and Furious beauty Eiza Gonzale during a joint trip with close friends. Currently, the handsome male god is dating “the world’s youngest female billionaire” Kylie Jenner.
Career and love are clearly separated
It seemed like love affairs would have a significant impact on Timothée Chalamet’s career, but day by day we see more and more how he is on the right track. Near the end of last year, Timothée Chalamet’s name skyrocketed, starring in consecutive big films with famous directors and just re-appearing at the Venice Film Festival with the film Bones and All by Italian director Luca Guadagnino, said. about a pair of young lovers who enjoy cannibalism, on a journey across America in the 1980s.
At the same time, people saw the serious decline of Armie Hammer – one of Hollywood’s top names and Chalamet’s co-star in Call me by your name . Hammer was accused of disgraceful and violent sexual acts, and then Discovery+ exposed his embarrassing private life in a documentary. Also from here, the saying “one movie, two destinies” was spread by many people when one person flourished, the other fell to the bottom.
Timothée is also loved for his strong personality and frequent charity work. He once criticized veteran director Woody Allen’s sex scandal. The actor said he was forced to participate in his project A Rainy Day in New York (2019) because of contract terms and donated all film fees to charity.
Huge success with Wonka
Based on the famous character in the worldwide children’s bedside book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Wonka tells the magical story of magician and the world’s greatest chocolate maker Willy Wonka. Johnny Depp once impressed with the 2005 version, but Timothée Chalamet’s acting brings a very new flavor.
Although this is the first time he has shown his singing and dancing skills on screen, Chalamet’s performances are not inferior to professional artists. He devoted his whole heart to fully expressing each level of Willy Wonka’s character: from innocence, wit, excess energy to quiet contemplation. Now when mentioning Willy Wonka, the audience will surely have to remember a new image of Timothée Chalamet’s smart, talented and kind young man.
Wonka – the movie that raised Timothée Chalamet’s name to new heights
Timothée Chalamet became sick several times during the production of Wonka due to eating too much chocolate and candy. However, he still did not gain weight and this made director Paul King jealous. The director gained “about 22kg” because of eating chocolate on set. “It’s a miracle that Timothée Chalamet is still so slim, handsome and acting with such grace!” – Paul King expressed.
Critics say Chalamet was really smart in not trying to imitate Wilder or Johnny Depp in the old versions in any way. Chalamet makes this character his own and has fun with a magic show that is still filled with optimism. Wonka is still on its way to bomb the box office at Christmas and could absolutely become the most popular movie at Christmas this year.
