Chalamet Ranks Hollywood's 'Goats' and Mentors

Timothée Chalamet recently discussed his top-tier actors, identifying Denzel Washington as the "Goat," Christian Bale as the "Second Goat," and Joaquin Phoenix as the "Strange Goat." He also shared that fellow actor Leonardo DiCaprio, a known mentor, once advised him to avoid both hard drugs and superhero movies. Chalamet noted that while he respects this advice, his own acting aspiration was sparked by a superhero film.

Chalamet's profound admiration for Heath Ledger's Joker in Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' was highlighted. He recounted how watching the film at age 12 profoundly impacted him, solidifying his desire to pursue acting. This pivotal experience continues to influence his perspective on the craft.

Adding a personal touch, Chalamet mentioned a recent humorous text exchange with DiCaprio about his distinctive haircut, possibly for his role as Paul Atreides in 'Dune: Part 3.' This interaction underscores the supportive and mentorship-driven relationship between the two acclaimed actors.
