Ever since his breakthrough appearance in Luca Guadagnino's 2017 romance film Call Me By Your Name, Timothée Chalamet has quickly risen the ranks, becoming one of the most sought-out actors in the industry. He's become Hollywood's golden boy and everyone's favorite young heartthrob.

Chalamet's stellar performance in Call Me By Your Name earned him a tremendous amount of accolades and acclaim, as he was one of the youngest actors to receive an Academy Award nomination for the Best Actor category at the age of 22. The effects of his huge achievements made waves in his career, as he's been in a wide range of films since. From Greta Gerwig's two critically acclaimed films Lady Bird and Little Women, to Felix van Groeningen's heartbreaking drama Beautiful Boyand David Michôd's epic war film The King, there isn't a single role that doesn't fit.

It's clear that the 26-year-old actor has continued moving up in the film industry, and he's moving at light speed. From co-hosting this year's Met Gala to his roles in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic Dune and Wes Anderson's latest feature The French Dispatch, plus Adam McKay's star-studded black comedy Don't Look Up, 2021 was a big year for Chalamet. The French-American star has clearly achieved a level of back-to-back success that is rare to find in someone so young.  

Recently, he starred in Bones and All with Taylor Russell, his second project with Guadagnino, which received critical praise for both his and Russell's performances. Next year, Chalamet will reprise his role as Paul Atreides in Dune: Part 2 before showcasing his musical theater talents in Wonka, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel.

 

The young heartthrob's effortless talent and good looks have all combined to create a superstar of a Hollywood figure. As a fashion icon as well, Chalemet's hair, jawline, and androgynous looks are signature to his fashion influence. Vogue has even praised him for "plying the boundary between traditional masculinity and femininity," and GQ ranked him as 2020's best-dressed man in the world. Moreover, the Hot Summer Nights actor recently became a brand ambassador for Cartier.

Chalamet's sparking influence provides a charm that is reminiscent of Old Hollywood, which the industry has welcomed with warm and open arms. As he continues to expand his collection of talents, we're excited to watch his rising trajectory.
