He debuted in 2008, but until he shot ‘Interstellar’ and, above all, ‘Call me by your name’, we had no idea who Timothée Chalamet was. Now, his success is so great and resounding that his agent has stated that he has achieved the dream of any actor: get level papers without having to go looking for them. More specifically, it has been seven years without appearing for a single casting.
castings are not for me
Last week there was a rumor that Chalamet had lost the position as Lucius, the son of Lucilla, in ‘Gladiator 2’, and that instead had gone to Paul Mescal. Brian Swardstrom, Chalamet’s agent, didn’t just let it go, and He took the opportunity to stick out his chest and mark territory on Twitter.
“I know that one of these actors I was shooting a movie in the Middle East for the last few months and He hasn’t auditioned for anything in over seven years.“. The film shot in the Middle East is, of course, ‘Dune 2’, which will be released in November.
It is not the only time that we will see him this year, because in December he will launch ‘Wonka’, his particular vision of ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’. And, as we now know, He has not auditioned for any of these roles.. There are people who are born lucky. It is not a manner of speaking: Chalamet has entered the conversation of the “nepo babies” after it became known that a large part of his family has been involved in the world of cinema for decades. But that is another story.
