"Last year, while accepting the Screen Actors Guild (now the Actor Awards) award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, Chalamet set his sights on immortality. "I know we're in a subjective business, but the truth is, I'm really in pursuit of greatness," he said. "I know people don't usually talk like this but I want to be one of the greats." For some Hollywood luvvies, such an earnest statement of intent would seem vainglorious, cringe-worthy, or downright ludicrous."
"In the seven years since his first Oscar nomination - for his role in Luca Guadagnino's lush, queer romance Call Me By Your Name - Chalamet has been relentless in his dedication to his craft. He has been harrowing and intense in the addiction drama Beautiful Boy (2018), rakish and lovelorn in Little Women (2019), infectiously whimsical in the Roald Dahl prequel Wonka, and formidable as the lead of the Dune movies."
Timothée Chalamet openly aspires to greatness and seeks to be considered one of the great actors. He won the Screen Actors Guild/Actor Awards Best Actor trophy for portraying Bob Dylan and articulated a desire for immortality in his craft. His career shows wide-ranging performances from Beautiful Boy to Little Women, Wonka, and Dune. He earned his first Oscar nomination early and now holds multiple nominations, with his self-produced Marty Supreme receiving nine nominations including Best Picture. He lost last year but remains undeterred and continues to pursue major acting accolades.
