Timothe Chalamet On The 1 Thing That Would Make Him Reconsider Leonardo DiCaprios Acting Advice

Timothe Chalamet  received two pieces of advice from legendary actor Leonardo DiCaprio but he might be rethinking half of it. 

The Dune: Part Two star recently referenced DiCaprios counsel when he was asked by The New York Times if hed had opportunities to star in superhero movies. 

Well, Leonardo DiCaprio said to me, No superhero movies, no hard drugs. Which I thought was very good, Chalamet said in the interview published last week, adding, I follow them both! 

But the movie that made me want to act is a superhero movie, The Dark Knight, Chalamet continued. If the script was great, if the director was great, Id have to consider it.

The Call Me By Your Name star spoke about how the Christopher Nolan film changed his life during an acceptance speech at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards back in 2018. 

When I was 12 years old, after attending one of my sister Paulines [ballet] performances, I petitioned my Mom and grandma to see Christopher Nolans The Dark Knight with me, Chalamet said, according to IndieWire , as he even recalled the exact location and time of the showing. 

I left that theatre a changed man, and Im serious about that, he explained. Heath Ledgers performance in that film was visceral and viral to me, and I now had the acting bug.

Just six years after The Dark Knight came out, Chalamet had the opportunity to work with Nolan on his space odyssey film, Interstellar, in 2014.
