"With the Screen Actors Guild Award in hand for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, in February 2025, Timothee Chalamet, 30, opened up to his fellow performers. I know we're in a subjective business, but the truth is I'm really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats, he said."
"Only one other actor had earned three Oscar nominations by the age of 30. And not just anyone: Marlon Brando. Chalamet, who turned 30 on December 27, already has four for Call Me By Your Name (2017), A Complete Unknown (2024), and two for Marty Supreme, as lead actor and as producer. His filmography already includes weighty titles: Interstellar, Lady Bird, Little Women, A Rainy Day in New York, Hostiles, Bones And All, The King (because every actor needs a Shakespeare role on their resume), the three installments of Dune, The French Dispatch (ditto a Wes Anderson film), Wonka, Don't Look Up and Unknown World."
"I don't remember ever wanting to do anything else, Chalamet said at the San Sebastian International Film Festival during the press cycle for Beautiful Boy. As a kid, he worked on a handful of commercials, and by the end of his teen years was appearing on off-Broadway stages as he resolved his identity crisis over whether he felt French (like his father, a UNICEF official) or American (like his mother, a real estate agent). In the end, I've stayed in both worlds, he says."
Timothée Chalamet won a Screen Actors Guild Award in February 2025 for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown and has openly pursued greatness. The actor is preparing to win his first Oscar for his portrayal of hustler Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme, backed by praise from peers and a masterful campaign. By age 30 he has already earned four Oscar nominations and enters a rarefied comparison with Marlon Brando. His filmography spans major titles across genres and auteurs. He began in commercials and off-Broadway, navigated a French-American identity, and continues to select increasingly refined projects.
