'If the script was great...': Timothee Chalamet says he may ignore co-star Leonardo DiCaprio's advice on superhero movies
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Timothee Chalamat believes in ‘never say never.'
The ‘Wonka’ actor, in his recent interview, shared that though his co-star from ‘Look Up’ Leonardo DiCaprio once advised him not to do superheroes flick, he may consider one in the future.
Wha did Leonardo DiCaprio say to Timothee Chalamet?
He first revealed in September 2022, “No hard drugs and no superhero movies” was the suggestion from the ‘Titanic’ actor.
“Well, Leonardo DiCaprio said to me, ‘No superhero movies, no hard drugs.’ Which I thought was very good,” Chalamet said.
“I follow them both! But the movie that made me want to act is a superhero movie ‘The Dark Knight.’ If the script was great, if the director was great, I’d have to consider it,” he told New York Times.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to hear Timothee since he has previously shared his love for Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’ series.
“When I was 12 years old, after attending one of my sister Pauline’s [ballet] performances, I petitioned my Mom and grandma to see Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’ with me,” Chalamet said.
“We went to AMC Empire 25 in Times Square for a 7.30 screening. I left that theater a changed man, and I’m serious about that. Heath Ledger‘s performance in that film was visceral and viral to me, and I now had the acting bug,” he added.
How Timothee Chalamet made it big in Hollywood
Chalamet made a short but notable appearance in Nolan’s ‘ Interstellar,’ playing Matthew McConaughey’s son. He then got the chance in ‘Dune’ 2021, and is set for the upcoming sequel ‘Dune: Part Two.’ And last year, his ‘Wonka’ went big garnering $600 million at the worldwide box office.
Timothee is currently dating Kylie Jenner, and rumors are the two may appear together in a flick. Kylie—known for her business acumen and her celebrity dynasty—is now focusing on a new goal: acting on the silver screen. Timothee, an actor whose rapid ascension in the film industry has been both praised and admired, is leading her through the maze of Hollywood, reports MEAWW.
The source said, "Kylie’s had acting ambitions for years and had private coaches and some high-profile teachers but she’s always held back because of her fear of failure."
