Hollywood superstar Timothée Chalamet turns 24 today, and we’re celebrating another year of the Academy Award-winning actor with a look back through his highly-acclaimed film repertoire. A born entertainer, Chalamet’s relentless dedication to his acting craft has been unrivaled for the entirety of his adolescence. In a conversation with Frank Ocean for VMAN in 2018, the young actor shared wise words on his acting passions: “You don’t want to be entertaining for the sake of being entertaining. The work should be the work. If it resonates, it’s going to resonate, and then people are naturally curious about how you got to that destination. It can’t be about how you’re getting to it.” From his feature debut in 2014 to his breakthrough films of Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird three years following, Chalamet’s mission to master his on-screen talents has certainly resonated with audiences across the world, and his hard work does not go unnoticed.
