Timothée Chalamet

Born on December 27, 1995, in New York City, Timothée Chalamet is the preeminent leading man of his generation, celebrated for a rare ability to anchor both billion-dollar franchises and avant-garde independent cinema. Raised in Hell's Kitchen by a family of artists—including his mother, dancer Nicole Flender, and his sister, actress Pauline Chalamet—he attended the LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts before his 2017 breakout year. His performance in Call Me by Your Name made him the youngest Best Actor Oscar nominee in nearly 80 years, a feat he followed with a string of critically acclaimed roles in Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy, and Little Women. By the early 2020s, Chalamet transitioned into a global "box office king," starring as Paul Atreides in the $1.1 billion Dune franchise and as the titular whimsical chocolatier in the 2023 musical hit Wonka. The year 2025 has solidified Chalamet as the most influential figure in Hollywood. He began the year as a top contender during the awards circuit for his "transformative" portrayal of Bob Dylan in the 2024 biopic A Complete Unknown, for which he won the Best Actor trophy at the 2025 Astra Film Awards and earned his second Academy Award nomination. In December 2025, he returned to theaters in Josh Safdie's A24 sports drama Marty Supreme. Playing Marty Mauser, a relentless 1950s ping-pong hustler, Chalamet underwent a notable physical transformation, using prosthetic makeup to "rough up" his appearance. Critics have hailed the performance as a career-best, noting his electric, "anxious" energy that evokes Safdie-style protagonists. Off-screen, his cultural footprint remains massive; he is currently the face of Bleu de Chanel—a deal reportedly worth $35 million—and his high-profile relationship with Kylie Jenner continues to dominate headlines, with the couple making several coordinated red-carpet appearances throughout the 2025 awards season.
