Timothée Chalamet Reflects On Transitioning To ‘Adulting’ Mindset After Early Fame
etcanada.comTimothée Chalamet says, despite his global stardom at 26, he’s an old soul. The young star spoke with British Vogue for its October cover story about what crashing headfirst into superstardom in his 20s was like and the way time has changed his mindset.
Reflecting on his newfound fame in recent years, he admitted it was a hard subject for him to discuss.

And then it felt like every dream came true, exponentially. And then life is moving at six million miles per hour.” Chalamet, who took the honour of being the first solo male cover star to grace the cover of the magazine, had an impressive resume at the age of 26.
He earned an Oscar nomination for his breakout role in “Call Me By Your Name”, landed the lead role in the beloved sci-fi franchise “Dune”, and is set to take a turn as the iconic chocolatier in “Wonka”. READ MORE: Timothée Chalamet Tweets About ‘Crunchy Bones’ While Sharing First
