Busy times ahead for Oscarnominated Timothee Chalamet
TIMOTHEE Chalamet has been nominated for the “Best Actor” Oscar at the 90th Academy Awards for his performance in ‘Call Me by Your Name’.
This year, the young Franco-American actor has more projects to add to his already impressive CV, including ‘Beautiful Boy’ with Steve Carell, which is now slated for US release Oct 12. In the meantime, the upcoming star’s breakout performance in ‘Call Me by Your Name’ sees him bag his first Oscar nomination at just 22 years old.
Hollywood’s next big thing, Chalamet, is being tipped as one of the most promising actors of his generation thanks to his performance in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Call Me By Your Name’. With this one movie, the breakout star has already won over Hollywood with his youthful energy, his spontaneity and his fresh appeal.
In ‘Call Me By Your Name’, out from Nov 24 in the US, the actor stole the show from his more experienced co-star Armie Hammer (‘The Social Network’), with his portrayal of an adolescent who falls for an older boy. Indeed, his performance earned him a nomination for the “Best Actor” Oscar, where the newcomer and outsider faces household names like Gary Oldman, Daniel Day-Lewis and Denzel Washington.
