The Call Me by Your Name star has skyrocketed from newcomer to Hollywood’s Next Big Thing.


A year ago, few of us knew who Timothée Chalamet was, other than the diehard Homeland fans among us, who recognized the young actor from his brief stint on the Showtime hit. Fast forward to today: Chalamet, a 22-year-old, is suddenly Hollywood’s hottest commodity. He’s stealing scenes as a cast member in Greta Gerwig’s beloved Lady Bird. He’s nominated for a best-actor Oscar (the youngest nominee in 80 years!) for his stirring, fully realized performance as Elio in Luca Guadagnino’s sensual Academy Awards darling Call Me by Your Name. Hell, he’s even rapping Cardi B on red carpets and pitching himself to acclaimed directors like Paul Thomas Anderson from stages.
