Timothée Chalamet has swiftly risen to prominence in Hollywood, earning acclaim for his notable roles in films such as Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy, and the blockbuster hit Dune.
Reflecting the footsteps of cinematic legends, Chalamet recently shared with British Vogue, where he made history as the first male cover star, the invaluable professional advice bestowed upon him by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The counsel, succinct yet impactful, was delivered by DiCaprio during their collaboration on the 2021 dark comedy success, Don't Look Up.
The seasoned actor's guidance was straightforward: "No hard drugs or superhero movies." This wisdom resonates with the sentiments expressed by director Martin Scorsese, who, in the past, stirred controversy by asserting that films from the Marvel or DC universes do not qualify as true cinema.
Chalamet's alignment with DiCaprio extended beyond advice, as the two shared the screen in Adam McKay's Don't Look Up, a film that earned an Oscar nomination in the prestigious "Best Picture" category.
DiCaprio, known for his discerning role choices, catapulted to global stardom with Titanic in 1997 and clinched his first Academy Award for The Revenant, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
Timothée Chalamet, having earned a similar level of respect from both critics and audiences, is poised for continued success in 2023. He is set to portray a young Willy Wonka in Paul King's Wonka and will headline Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two alongside Zendaya, Florence Pugh, and Austin Butler.
As these projects unfold, Chalamet continues to navigate his career with the wisdom imparted by seasoned mentors like Leonardo DiCaprio.
