Over the past few years, Timothée Chalamet has become a household name…at least if your household skews toward younger millennials and Gen Zs.
He has somewhat of a cult following, quickly attracting a devoted fan base after the release of Call Me by Your Name.

While his name might not ring a bell, start listing Timothée Chalamet movies and chances are high that you’ve seen or heard of at least one.
Regardless of your age, by the end of this article, we’re pretty sure you’ll become a Timothée Chalamet fan too.
Let’s start with the basics, like how old is Timothée Chalamet?
Timothée is pronounced just like the name Timothy. As he said to GQ, “I don’t want to be totally unrelatable.”
With his birthday coming up on Christmas Day, the star of Wonka and the Dune series is about to turn 28. Timothée Chalamet’s height is exactly six feet. But who cares about height, right? GQ describes him as having “the body of a kid raised in New York, stovepiped like a Stroke, the sort of frame that’s forged in high schools without football teams.”
Does Timothée Chalamet have a girlfriend?
The question seemingly every Timothée Chalamet fan wants to know: does he have a girlfriend?!
The young Hollywood actor has dated several leading ladies throughout the years. GQ reported that he dated Madonna’s daughter Lourdes for almost a year. The pair attended the same NYC high school.
Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez
Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez made entertainment news headlines in 2017 after footage was shared on YouTube of the young Hollywood pair kissing each other.
The curse of a young Hollywood actor is all of having all of your adolescent moments blasted around the world––one of the reasons behind Hollywood.com’s movement to #BanPaparazzi by not publishing any paparazzi photos––so we doubt this little moment amounted to anything more serious.
Timothée Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp
The talented duo who starred alongside each other in The King reportedly dated for at least a year starting in October 2018. In March 2021, the pair were recently spotted together in New York City, and some suspect they are together again (as if no one has ever gone for a walk with their ex *eye roll*).
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner
Rumors began flying about the pair back in April, even though they could be seen together back in January 2023. According to an interview in Bazaar, the cosmetics mogul and the actor did not make a known public appearance together until September. Still, multiple reputable outlets have reported on the duo’s relationship, with some describing it as “casual” but also “new and exciting.” The couple have been seen at the U.S. Open, the Innovator Awards, and even most recently at the premiere of his new film Wonka.
10 very random Timothée Chalamet facts that are more interesting than who he is dating
Because dating gossip and rumors are not as interesting in our not-so-humble opinion!
- When it comes to his latest film role, Timothée Chalamet didn’t even need to audition for the role. In an article by WION, Paul King’s prequel musical Wonka always had Timothee in mind while casting. Paul said that “he was a Chalamet ‘stan’ and knew that the actor could do justice to all the singing and dancing needed to play Wonka.”
- Like many now A-list celebrities, his first role was as a murder victim in a 2009 episode of Law and Order.
- We all know that he’s a big fan of the New York Knicks. But when did that love begin? Answer: Middle School. In middle school he tried out for the basketball team, but ended up just being their team’s mascot.
- He idolizes Kid Cudi and credits the rapper for making him want to pursue an acting career. He even starred in the Kid Cudi film Entergalactic in 2022.
- Timothée Chalamet even rapped for fun in high school, going by the name Lil’ Timmy Tim or simply Timmy Tim.
- According to a list by WatchMojo, Timothée had a turtle that he named Urdle. We love the fact that he had such an unusual pet.
- You can get a candle that apparently smells like him. Called “This Smells Like Timothée,” the scented candle includes notes of peach, bergamot, mandarin, magnolia, sandalwood, cedar, amber, musk, and vanilla. One reviewer says, “This was a gift for my great niece for Christmas. I couldn’t quite figure out why the candle was named for smelling like a Timothee. Didn’t know what a ‘Timothee’ was and found out it was a who….not a what. Then I was concerned that it smelled like a human. How good could that be? Well, the great niece was so pleased with the candle…She told me that is the way Timothee really smelled like.” I’d like to know how her great niece knows what Timothée Chalamet smells like.
- While many of his current contemporaries tend to overshare their lives through social media, “Timotheé’s Instagram is frequently enigmatic; he holds more back than many of his contemporaries,” according to an interview with Time.
- His go-to karaoke song is “Heart-Shaped Box”
- There is an entire Instagram account dedicated to photoshopping Timothée Chalamet into classic works of art called @chalametinart. We’ll leave you with one:

Timothée Chalamet movies: Bones and All (2022)
Timothée Chalamet will play a role different from any other he has played, in the upcoming romantic thriller Bones and All. He co-stars along with Taylor Russell as 2 young lovers who go on a 3,000 mile adventure. They might be perfect for each other, but their dark cannibalistic habits could put them and others in more danger.
In Mashable’s review of the film, Kristy Puchko warns movie-goers that this movie is not for those who are “faint of stomach.”
“Bones and All doesn’t hold back in its use of gore, much like in Guadagnino’s gruesome remake of Suspiria. Even a hardened horror fan like myself was gasping in shock at the tearing of flesh and its consumption here.”
Fans are sharing their upmost excitement for the film, as it hits theaters November 18.

Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles on representing a new form of masculinity
The actor and pop star have often been compared to each other, with tons of accounts dedicated to the star-studded duo. i-D says “Together they represent a new masculinity, one that’s sensitive, thoughtful, creative, and unafraid to be who they are.” We have i-D to thank for getting the two together for a phone interview in 2018 where Harry Styles interviews Timothée Chalamet.
The interview reads more like a conversation where we get to witness both celebs talk about journaling, the struggles of social media, and how they both represent a new form of masculinity. “Thinking about where the world’s at today, do you feel a responsibility as an actor to represent a new form of masculinity on screen? The concept of masculinity has changed so much since we were growing up,” Harry Styles asks.
“I was going to ask you a version of that question but I worried it would be giving myself too much credit to think I could make a change like that. But, if you are giving me that license then I would say absolutely. It’s one of the reasons I’m so happy to get on the phone with you because growing up we did have some people to look up to, but it wasn’t as obvious,” Timothée Chalamet says in response. “I want to say you can be whatever you want to be. There isn’t a specific notion, or jean size, or muscle shirt, or affectation, or eyebrow raise, or dissolution, or drug use that you have to take part in to be masculine. It’s exciting. It’s a brave new world.”
Harry Styles chimes in, saying “I think there’s so much masculinity in being vulnerable and allowing yourself to be feminine, and I’m very comfortable with that.”

Upcoming movie releases with Timothée Chalamet: Wonka (2023)
Timothée Chalamet stars as Willy Wonka in the new origin story that serves as a prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Wonka. According to Vanity Fair, Timothée showcases his singing and dancing skills, bringing a fresh spin on the beloved candymaker. The actor also stated that “This was the most physically challenging project I’ve ever done,” Chalamet told Vanity Fair at the film’s Los Angeles premiere.
Directed by Paul King, Wonka follows Timothée Chalamet’s character in his younger years and audiences will see what led him to opening his chocolate factory. Wonka opens on December 15, 2023 and will also star Hugh Grant, Gustave Die, Murray McArthur, Paul G. Raymond, Bertie Caplan, Isy Suttie, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Matilda Tucker, Tom Davis, and Olivia Colman.
Basically, we’re so glad that Timothée Chalamet still exists. We’re so glad that movie theaters are back so we can watch him on a screen bigger than anything else.
Upcoming movie releases with Timothée Chalamet: Dune: Part Two (2024)
