Tom Holland vs Timothee Chalamet: Comparing Hollywood’s hottest heartthrobs
In the glitzy realm of Hollywood heartthrobs, two names are on everyone's lips: Tom Holland and Timothee Chalamet. As fans find themselves torn between Spider-Man's charm and the poetic allure of 'Call Me By Your Name', the burning question is: Who truly wears the crown as Hollywood's reigning sweetheart?
Tom Holland and Timothee Chalamet: Who is younger?
British actor Tom Holland and the Oscar-nominated charmer, Timothee Chalamet, are both 27. Timothee was born on December 27, 1995, while Tom came into this world on June 1, 1996.
'Spider-Man: Homecoming' audition
It might come as a surprise to many that Timothee auditioned for the 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' role, which was eventually secured by Tom. Recounting the experience, the actor shared, "I read twice and I left sweating in a total panic. I called my agent, Brian Swardstrom, and I said, 'Brian, I thought about this a lot and I have to go back and knock on that door and read again,'" as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The Zendaya connection
In a twist of fate, both heartthrobs share an undeniable connection with the dazzling Zendaya. Tom Holland's on-screen and off-screen chemistry with Zendaya in 'Spider-Man' has fueled endless rumors. On the other hand, Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya share a sizzling bond in the sci-fi epic, 'Dune'.
Famous movie roles
Rising to stardom together, Tom and Timothee found themselves vying for iconic roles like Spider-Man and Willy Wonka. Instead of letting the rivalry strain their friendship, Tom reveals it has strengthened their bond. "We’re obviously very often part of the same conversation," Tom shared with The Hollywood Reporter. "I admire him. I really like him as a friend. And he's a good ally to have in a business that’s pretty cutthroat."
Hollywood pals
These two aren't just Hollywood colleagues, they're longtime pals! Tom spilled the beans in 2021 about their solid friendship, even treating fans to a hilarious prank call on BBC Radio 1. What started as a playful joke quickly turned into a heartwarming catch-up session, complete with on-air dinner plans.
Case of mistaken identity
Timothee often finds himself mistaken for Tom. He shared that when fans bump into him on the street, "Some know a lot and are well-researched, and some are like, 'Wait, I know you from something? People go, 'Oh, you're the Spider-Man, you're the Tom Holland guy ... no, that's not me!'"
What’s next for Tom Holland and Timothee Chalamet?
Tom is set to showcase his dancing prowess in an upcoming biopic centered around the legendary Fred Astaire. On the other hand, Timothee has made waves in the media with his widely-discussed high-profile relationship with Kylie Jenner. He will be seen reprising his role in the 'Dune' sequel next year.
