Timothée Chalamet

In 2013, Timothée Chalamet was in a relationship with Lourdes Leon, the daughter of pop icon Madonna. She was his high school classmate and they appeared together in a school production of 'Sweet Charity'.

Following renewed sexual assault allegations against Woody Allen in the wake of the #MeToo movement in October 2017, he told media that he would not accept profits from his upcoming film with the director. By announcing to donate his salary to the Time's Up initiative against harassment and assault, LGBT Center of New York and RAINN, he became the most high profile male actor to publicly disavow Allen.

Timothée Hal Chalamet was born on December 27, 1995 in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, to Nicole Flender, a real estate broker and former Broadway dancer, and Marc Chalamet, an editor for UNICEF. He has an older sister named Pauline who is a French actor and lives in Paris.

He is half-French from his father's side and half-American Jewish from his mother's side. Filmmaker Rodman Flender is his maternal uncle, television producer and writer Amy Lippman is his aunt, and late screenwriter Harold Flender was his maternal grandfather.

While in high school, he was accepted into Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, which spurred his interest in acting at a young age. After graduating from school in 2013, he enrolled into Columbia University following the advice of Claire Danes, and was transferred to NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study after a year.

Timothée Chalamet began his acting career as a child artist appearing in a number of commercials and also acted in the two horror short films, 'Sweet Tooth' and 'Clown', in 2008.

In 2009, he made his television debut playing murder victim Eric Foley in the episode 'Pledge' of the long-running television series 'Law & Order', followed by a minor role in the made-for-television film 'Loving Leah'.

He made his stage debut in 2011, playing 12 years old sexually curious boy Nicholas in the Off-Broadway play 'The Talls', which is a coming-of-age comedy set in the 1970s. His excellent acting in the play was praised by the chief theatre critic of 'New York Daily News'.

In 2012, he bagged two recurring roles: playing Luke in the drama series 'Royal Pains' and Finn Walden in the spy-thriller series 'Homeland'. For the latter, he shared a nomination for a 'Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series' with the rest of the cast.

He made his feature film debut with a small role in the Jason Reitman-directed drama film 'Men, Women & Children', which was a critical and commercial failure. The same year, he received positive reviews for playing the younger version of Sam, the co-lead in the comedy film 'Worst Friends', which had limited theatrical release.

Timothée Chalamet's most notable work so far is undoubtedly 'Call Me by Your Name' which has already grossed near $30 million against a budget of $3.5 million and received critical acclaim. His 2014 film 'Interstellar' grossed over $675 million worldwide.
