5 Interesting Facts About "Call Me By Your Name" Rising Star Timothée Chalamet

After rising to fame thanks to the ravishing and sensual drama Call Me by Your Name, Timothée Chalamet has never stopped making the audience sobbing every time seeing him on screen.

Let's take a look at the interesting facts to understand more about Hollywood talented "peach prince".

1. His artistry is definitely from father to son

It's no exaggeration to say that Timothée Chalamet's parents are the two who garner the biggest number of daughters-in-law in the United States as they have a son who is not only dreamy handsome but also incredibly talented. There is one reason why he possesses such a statuesque look. The 23-year-old actor is half French.

He was born on December 27, 1995 in Manhattan (New York). While he inherited the artistry from his mother Nicole Flender - a former Broadway dancer, his father Marc Chalamet is probably where Chalamet takes his romantic streak of a French guy from.

Not only his parents but also his big family are involved in art. Chalamet's sister is an actress in Paris. Chalamet's uncle is filmmaker Rodman Flender, his aunt is a television producer and writer Amy Lippman. Meanwhile, his grandfather is screenwriter Harold Flender, and his grandmother, Enid Flender, is a former dancer.

People who watch Timothée Chalamet’s movies frequently must easily notice that the peach boy is indeed a beau. He owns the breathtaking blue eyes and the floating wavy hair that are considered his very own trademarks.

2. Having failed to be Spiderman but later becoming the second Dicaprio

Probably few people know that in the past, Timothée Chalamet competed with Tom Holland for the role of Spider-Man. No one dares to say if either of them is more suitable. However, thanks to that first failure, we are able to see an endearing, passionate Elio in Call Me by Your Name.

The glory of the Marvel universe is an undeniable temptation, especially for young actors like Chalamet - a person who is struggling to find a foothold in the Hollywood's hall of fame after a lot of supporting roles.

The failure was like a boost for him. He changed the roadmap from popular commercial film genre to the artistic film series. Movies, like Call Me by Your Name, seem quite confusing and more suitable for fastidious movie lovers as it needs time to be fully fathomed and also has some kind of unprecedented depths.

On the contrary, it is for these carefully selected films that help the actor assert himself in a position that few people can do.

The direction of Chalamet for his acting career along with his achievements throughout the years make it a far cry from awkward to say that he is anticipated to become the second Leonardo Dicaprio!

3. 8 years of waiting to finally shine

From an early age, Chalamet was unhesitating to try many different genres of arts. He has participated in commercials and appeared in lots of films.

His work includes movies from the time he started his career as a novice, such as Law & Order, Loving Leah and countless other small films in which he later participated in. It was not only on the screens but also on the stage of Broadway that his charm conquered the audience. He pulled an oar in The Talls play and received plenty of good reviews.

However, it was not until he featured in Oscar-nominated movies Lady Bird and Call Me by Your Name and also the upcoming movie The King that he is more widely known. With an unmistakable look, his diligence in art activities as well as brilliant acting skill, sooner or later, Timothée Chalamet will shoot higher and brighter in the sky of filmdom.

4. Having some fate with daughters of famous stars

With a God sculpted face and ecstatic gaze, no wonder why our boy has so many people chasing him. Besides, girls would have a heart attack to know that he already has a girlfriend who is super pretty.

On September 2, at the premiere of The King film at the Venice Film Festival, Timothée Chalamet did not hesitate to hold hand with beautiful girlfriend Lily-Rose Depp. She is the daughter of A-list actor Johnny Depp and also his co-star in The King. They were unhesitatingly exchanging affectionate looks in front of the reporters’ shutterbuzz.

In addition, before being the partner of Johnny Depp's daughter, Timothée was dating Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon for a while.

5. Making a rap song to avoid doing homework

Timothée Chalamet used to have “stage name” Lil' Timmy Tim as he was (kind of) a rapper. The video of him rapping and dancing around with his friends in high school went viral especially after he got famous.

The young actor said,

In the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Armie Hammer, Chalamet’s co-star in Call Me By Your Name stepped in to make an explanation, "The back story behind that is that was a school project that he had to actually turn in for a statistic class. So everyone else wrote all these big sorts of statistics papers and all that, and he turned in this awesome rap, and the teacher only gave him a D+ on it."

In the upcoming November 1, the film The King with Timothée Chalamet playing as the male lead will officially hit the screens in the United States. Right after that, it will be broadcasted exclusively on Netflix.

We can see that the young actor Timothée Chalamet has always tried his best to be recognized.

His efforts are paying off more and more like the name of the "peach boy" has gradually gained its own place in the art film genres.
