Berlin Flashback: When Timothée Chalamet Was a Complete Unknown at the Berlinale

A decade can truly transform things. When Timothée Chalamet steps onto this year’s Berlinale red carpet for a special gala screening of James Mangold’s film, “A Complete Unknown,” where he portrays the enigmatic Bob Dylan, he will be celebrated as a leading actor. Over the past few years, he has starred in major blockbusters like “Wonka” and the “Dune” films, and has even earned his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

In 2015, Chalamet made his debut on Berlin’s red carpet at the age of 19. He wasn’t yet a household name; instead, he was sharing the spotlight with Kiernan Shipka in Andrew Droz Palermo’s independent film titled “One & Two“.

When Chalamet stepped onto Berlin’s red carpet for the first time in 2015, he wasn’t yet a famous face. Instead, at just 19 years old, he was co-starring with Kiernan Shipka in the independent film “One & Two“.

Lastly:
It wasn’t until 2015 that Chalamet graced Berlin’s red carpet. At 19 years of age, he was not yet a star; rather, he was acting alongside Kiernan Shipka in the indie flick “One & Two“.

In their debut leading roles, Timothée Chalamet and Millie Bobby Brown played sibling characters who possessed the unique ability to teleport, as seen in their performances in “Homeland” on Showtime and “Interstellar” directed by Christopher Nolan.

Timothée Chalamet and Millie Bobby Brown made their first appearances as leading actors in “Homeland” on Showtime and “Interstellar,” playing characters who could teleport through space and time as siblings. This was under the direction of Christopher Nolan.

Or even simpler:

In two different productions, Timothée Chalamet and Millie Bobby Brown starred in their first lead roles. They played brother-sister characters with a special ability to teleport, directed by Christopher Nolan in “Homeland” on Showtime and “Interstellar.

During a stop at THR’s lounge, Chalamet shared, “The film revolves around their journey of parting ways – possibly reuniting or maybe not.” However, the media was drawn more towards Shipka, known for her role as Jon Hamm’s daughter in Mad Men, as it approached its concluding season.

Regarding the understated films “One & Two,” Harry Windsor of THR remarked succinctly that “Chalamet and Shipka deliver strong performances, but the subtle script makes it challenging to fully grasp their characters.” With a limited release from IFC Midnight, the movie faded into obscurity without much fanfare.

Chalamet didn’t achieve breakthrough success until two years later, with the film “Call Me by Your Name”. This movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was then screened in Berlin as well.
