Timothee Chalamet BIO

Timothee Chalamet is a rising star in Hollywood with an impressive resume that includes both critically acclaimed films and Broadway productions. Born in New York City in 1995, Chalamet began acting at a young age and attended the LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.
Chalamet's breakout role came in 2017 with his performance in the coming-of-age film "Call Me by Your Name," directed by Luca Guadagnino. The film was a critical and commercial success, earning Chalamet an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He followed up this success with a role in "Lady Bird," directed by Greta Gerwig, which was also a critical darling.
But Chalamet's talent extends beyond film. In 2014, he made his Broadway debut in the play "The Real Thing" alongside Ewan McGregor and Maggie Gyllenhaal. He continued his stage work with a role in John Patrick Shanley's play "Prodigal Son" at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 2016.
Chalamet's success on stage and screen has also led to opportunities in the music industry. In 2018, he was featured on the track "My Life" by Kid Cudi and Kanye West. He also appeared in the music video for Frank Ocean's song "Nikes."
In 2019, Chalamet starred in the Netflix film "The King," in which he played King Henry V. He also appeared in the ensemble cast of Greta Gerwig's adaptation of "Little Women," alongside Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, and Florence Pugh.
Chalamet's most recent work includes the lead role in Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of "Dune," which is set to be released in 2021.
