Timothée Chalamet

Biography

Timothée Hal Chalamet is an American-French actor often cited as the leading movie star of his generation. Known for his intense emotional range and unique fashion sense, he has successfully bridged the gap between independent arthouse cinema and massive studio blockbusters. In early 2026, Chalamet is dominating the Hollywood awards circuit. On January 11, 2026, he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) for his electric performance as Marty Mauser in Josh Safdie's ping-pong drama "Marty Supreme". This victory, where he played a hustler attempting to professionalize table tennis in the 1950s, solidified his versatility following his dramatic turn as Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown" (released late 2024/early 2025), for which he also received significant awards buzz. He is currently preparing for the cinematic event of the year: "Dune: Part Three". Scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, the film concludes Denis Villeneuve's trilogy adapted from Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah. The release date has sparked a friendly viral rivalry dubbed "Dunesday", as the film is set to open against Robert Downey Jr.'s Avengers: Doomsday. In a January 2026 Q&A, Downey Jr. jokingly confirmed the showdown, calling Chalamet "one of the greats." Chalamet recently revealed he is reuniting with director James Mangold for a new project titled "High-Side", a motocross heist film, further expanding his action portfolio.
