Timothee Chalamet covered this month’s issue of GQ, mostly to promote Dune 2 and some early promo for Wonka. The interview was conducted pre-strike, which is why the piece reads as \u201cfilled out\u201d excessively by quotes from directors and producers, because GQ didn\u2019t have time to ask Timmy follow-up questions during the strike. Chalamet is very good in this piece, he talks a lot about how much he\u2019s \u201cgrown up\u201d in the past three years, how much he admires his generational peers like Zendaya, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, etc, how he feels like he\u2019s leveling up. Some highlights from GQ:<\/p>\n
\nPandemic life:<\/strong> \u201cI had spent a lot of time after high school with my head in the clouds, imagining a life as an actor, and totally oblivious to the life I was actually leading,\u201d he said. \u201cI was out of touch with an in-touch life. And during COVID, it flipped, and I was forced to become very in touch with my increasingly out-of-touch life. It was not good for me.\u201d<\/p>\nHe\u2019s 27 years old now: <\/strong>\u201cYou start going on Instagram, seeing people from your high school getting married, friends having kids, and you start going: This balls-to-the-wall thing, even at this amazing level I\u2019m at that probably couldn\u2019t have gone better\u2014you still start wondering, How long till you have to change?\u201d<\/p>\nFilming \u2018Bones & All\u2019 in middle-America in 2021: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s something I think about a lot with Dylan, that life rhythms are different. When you\u2019re raised in the city, going stir-crazy during the pandemic, your life rhythm becomes agitated. And driving through the middle of the country listening to Townes Van Zandt, your life rhythm adjusts in a great way\u2026I got my second jab in Cincinnati.\u201d<\/p>\nThe Armie Hammer story breaking as they prepped Bones & All:<\/strong> \u201cI mean, what were the chances that we\u2019re developing this thing?\u201d Chalamet said, reflecting on that strange period. When false reports suggested the film was inspired by the news, \u201cit made me feel like: Now I\u2019ve really got to do this. Because this is actually based on a book.\u201d Chalamet\u2019s face went stiff when I asked him to describe how he personally experienced the allegations against Hammer. \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he said, reluctantly. \u201cThese things end up getting clickbaited so intensely. Disorienting is a good word.\u201d<\/p>\nHe\u2019s obsessed with Austin Butler. <\/strong>\u201cIt started on Zoom, when we did a [Dune 2] cast reading.\u201d Was Butler still talking like Elvis? I asked him. \u201cNo, here\u2019s the thing, he was already talking like Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd.\u201d That is, on day one of the first read-through, Butler had already dialed his way all the way into the character, the heir to Skarsg\u00e5rd\u2019s Baron Harkonnen. \u201cAnd you could see everyone was, like\u2026\u201d\u2014he laughed a little nervously\u2014\u201cI can\u2019t overstate how inspiring it was to me personally. Because here was someone who\u2019s a little older than me, but generationally we\u2019re similar, and I don\u2019t know how he would put it, but his journey was different than mine\u2026 he takes the work incredibly seriously. And I feel like I hadn\u2019t seen that among someone my age, whether it was in drama school or on set, that did take the work that seriously but then after \u2018cut\u2019 wasn\u2019t, you know, in some show of how seriously they took it\u2014and instead is this tremendously affable, wonderful man.\u201d<\/p>\nHe\u2019s also obsessed with Tom Cruise: <\/strong>\u201cAfter I met Tom Cruise, right after finishing the first Dune, he sent me the most wonderfully inspiring email,\u201d Chalamet said. It included a Rolodex of sorts of all the experts he might need for stunt training. A motorcycle coach. A helicopter coach. \u201cHe basically said, in Old Hollywood, you would be getting dance training and fight training, and nobody is going to hold you to that standard today. So it\u2019s up to you. The email was really like a war cry.\u201d<\/p>\nHe loved \u2018Top Gun: Maverick\u2019:<\/strong> While filming Dune Part Two, in the summer and fall of 2022, Chalamet said he saw Top Gun: Maverick eight times. On one occasion, he bought out a movie theater in Budapest for two bucks a seat and took the whole cast and crew. \u201cTop Gun was just hugely inspiring to me last summer when we were making Dune,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of the crew were kind of scoffing at going, but I just thought it was one of the greatest films I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\nHis romance with Kylie Jenner:<\/strong> \u201cI can\u2019t say that this stuff doesn\u2019t matter because my intense fandom has led me to where I am.\u201d But he also bristles at the suggestion that he might not be entitled to a wholly private life. When I told him that this is all a fair and practically inalienable right, but that if he really wanted to be left alone he might not spend time with one of the four most followed people on Instagram, he nodded and chuckled: \u201cThis reminds me of that recent South Park episode with the Worldwide Privacy Tour,\u201d he said, referring to a send-up of Harry and Meghan flying around in a private jet and appearing on a talk show to demand: We want privacy! We want privacy! \u201cSometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you\u2019re trying to live a private life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[From GQ]<\/p>\n
There\u2019s something so charming about Timothee Chalamet meeting Austin Butler via Zoom for a Dune 2 reading and immediately becoming obsessed with Butler\u2019s hyper-Method approach to the work. That\u2019s my biggest takeaway – Timmy is like \u201comg, he\u2019s more prepared than me and he\u2019s my peer!\u201d It stoked his competitive fires. Chalamet is also obsessed with Zendaya and her team too, but in a nicer, less competitive way – he just appreciates the way Zendaya rolls and he enjoys watching her navigate her stardom. As for the Kylie Jenner stuff\u2026 interesting that he name-checked that South Park episode. Hm.<\/p>\n
