As a devoted follower of Timothée Chalamet‘s career, it’s truly captivating to witness his journey from being overlooked for action roles due to his physique, to becoming an esteemed artist gracing both indie and blockbuster screens. His resilience in the face of rejection is a testament to his determination and talent.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but marvel at Timothée Chalamet’s meteoric rise in the world of cinema. Yet, it’s fascinating to know that his journey to this stardom wasn’t exactly the plan he had sketched out earlier.
In an interview with Rolling Stone U.K., the actor who was nominated for an Oscar revealed that during the early stages of his career, he sought roles in action films like “Maze Runner” and “Divergent.” However, these opportunities were denied to him based on his physical build.
Chalamet shared that he often heard comments like, ‘You’re not built right for these roles,'” he said. “Once, an agent told me they were tired of hearing the same feedback and wouldn’t submit me for larger projects because I wasn’t gaining weight. However, I was attempting to gain weight, but my body just wouldn’t allow it. My metabolism or whatever seemed to be working against me.
Pursuing more independent roles became my chosen path after being cast in “Dune: Part Two,” a decision that led me to films like “Call Me By Your Name” (for which I earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actor), “Lady Bird,” “Beautiful Boy,” and the critically acclaimed “Little Women.” These roles ultimately solidified my reputation in Hollywood.
Chalamet mentioned, “I tried my luck with a door leading to action movies, but it didn’t budge. So instead, I approached a seemingly modest opportunity, little did I know it would turn out to be quite the blast for me.
Eventually, the actor who played Willy Wonka managed to establish himself in big-budget films, with roles in Denis Villeneuve’s highly successful Dune series. Soon, audiences can catch him as iconic musician Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, scheduled for release on December 25th.
Chalamet noted that his past acting parts were incredibly intimate and exposed. He found a similar emotional depth in Bob’s early music, particularly in his early folk tunes. Using an analogy, he explained, “Initially, you may only have a few instruments at your disposal, but eventually, you long to explore new ones.
