Now 30, Timothée Chalamet recalled his experience with one of the world’s greatest directors, Christopher Nolan. He remembered their joint work on the 2014 movie “Interstellar.” This bittersweet flashback took place inside the Anneberg Theatre during a career retrospective organized by American Cinematheque and Cinespia in Los Angeles. Chalamet, who starred as Tom Cooper, the son of Matthew McConaughey’s character, shared an amusing encounter that took place on set.
While presenting the screening of “Call Me by Your Name,” Chalamet told a funny story. He described how, during the shoot of “Interstellar,” Nolan had made him feel like a teenager again. He jokingly recalled a special moment where Nolan tossed him into a headlock and gave him a noogie as he laughed. “But I’m a 30-year-old man,” Chalamet recalled, laughing. To this, Nolan replied, “Not to me, you’re not,” Tuck further explaining that their youthful repartee and folly proved that age was indeed just a number.
Not only that, but Chalamet, then just 17 years old, got his start in an industry on the youth-obsessed turf of “Interstellar.” The film eventually took home an Oscar for Best Achievement in Visual Effects. The film featured a brilliant supporting star-cast. Alongside these brilliant performances were Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, Mackenzie Foy, and David Oyelowo.
Chalamet has been showered with acclaim since breakout role in “Call Me by Your Name,” for his performances in “Little Women” and “A Complete Unknown.” He’s proved he’s the right guy for the job in films like “Interstellar.” With his recently earned third Oscar nomination, he’s proven once again that he’s one of Hollywood’s A-list leading men.
Looking ahead, Chalamet is set to star in “Dune: Part Three,” which is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18. This upcoming film promises to showcase his talent once again, as he continues to build upon his impressive body of work.
