Born in 1995, Timothee Chalamet was drawn to performing from a fairly young age. Timothee participated in plays during his high school years in New York City. Possessing a strong desire to be a performer, he left college after a year to pursue an acting career. While times were challenging early on, he persisted and eventually managed to land roles in award-winning and critically acclaimed films. In short order, Timothee starred in high-quality films such as Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy, The French Dispatch, and Little Women. These performances led him to the science fiction epic Dune, which took three and a half years to complete. Nominated for a Best Picture Oscar in 2022, Dune was critically acclaimed and commercially successful. Timothee then starred in the sequel Dune: Part Two, released in November of 2023. A charitable and environmentally conscious performer, Timothee Chalamet has established himself as an actor possessing both versatility and skill. It is the life story of this fine actor that is the focus of this illustrated biography. In relatively few pages, readers are introduced not only to Timothee Chalamet as the actor but also as a man whose personality is reflected in the roles he selects. Young film buffs will enjoy learning about an emerging and talented actor who has excelled in his field.
