Timothée Chalamet recently shared an anecdote about an unnamed actor who he felt belittled his acting background. During a conversation with Matthew McConaughey, Chalamet recounted how this co-star questioned his lack of conservatory training.

He achieved a breakout moment with the 2017 film 'Call Me By Your Name' and has since starred in blockbusters like the 'Dune' franchise and 'Wonka'.
Chalamet also spoke about his pride in the 2025 film 'Marty Supreme,' a project loosely based on table tennis player Marty Reisman. He described it as a film he anticipates being proud of for many years to come, indicating its significant personal value.
