Timothee Chalamet

He’s a supremely diligent (and talented) actor

I’ve never had anyone wave millions of dollars at me, begging me to star in an action movie or a cute romance.
But if that did happen, I’d be tempted. Which is why I have such esteem for Timothee Chalamet.
He’s had all the things that create pop-culture fame — two “Dune” epics that made a combined $1.3 billion … a romantic supporting role in one great film (“Little Women”) … a musical role in another great one (“Wonka”) … and a photogenic romance with Kylie Jenner.
From there, he could have made easy money anywhere — from sci-fi to rom-coms to hair-gel ads. Instead, he took two roles that are amazingly complex and (in some ways) totally opposite — first as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown,” then as the supremely hyper Marty (shown here) in “Marty Supreme.” Read more…

A perfect blend: Chalamet becomes Dylan

Two remarkable talents fuel the movie “A Complete Unknown.”
One is Bob Dylan, the eternal enigma. The other is Timothee Chalamet, who doesn’t seem enigmatic at all; he’s simply in the Hanks/Streep/Newman mode, combining steep talent and hard work.
Now that pays off at the Golden Globes (8-11 p.m. ET Sunday, Jan. 5, on CBS). Of the six nominees for best motion picture drama, two – “Dune: Part 2” and “A Complete Unknown” – star Chalamet.
In the latter, he’s also nominated for best actor. This is the film where he becomes Dylan and, at 29, shows his range as an actor. Read more…
