“I was always told that I didn’t have the right body…”, the actor explains today.
Building on the successive successes of Wonka and the second part of Duneat the start of the year, Timothée Chalamet will return in a few weeks in the shoes of Bob Dylan in the biopic by James Mangold entitled A complete stranger. Scheduled for January 29, 2025 in France, it will be released a little earlier in the United States, for Christmas 2024.
Its promotion has already started, and at the microphone of Zane Lowe, from Apple Music (relayed by Variety), he reconsidered his career choices “individuals”linked according to him in part to his physique:
“If I auditioned for The Labyrinth or Divergentthese kinds of blockbusters that came out when I was at the start of my career, I was always told: 'Oh, you don't have the right body.' I had an agent who called me to advise me, to basically tell me: 'You should lift some cast iron.' He didn't do it in an aggressive way, but you see, what.”
“Finally, I found my way through more personal films, he adds. A bit like Dylan, who did all this for the love of folk music. He couldn't find a rock and roll band, because his friends all ended up getting hired by musicians who were richer than him in Minnesota.”
Timothée Chalamet does not regret having followed Leonardo DiCaprio's advice (“No superhero movie”), nor of not having gained the muscles to be involved in major productions and adaptations of “Young Adults” successful. “I found my style, very personal, on smaller films”he explains, evoking among other things Call Me By Your Name, Beautiful Boy, Lady Bird or Miss Stevens :
“They had smaller budgets, it's true, but – I don't know how else to say it – they were all more personal films, a good way to start in this space that cinema represents. It's thanks to them that I gained confidence in myself, found my rhythm, my style, or whatever you want to call it.”
