Here’s how the internet’s favorite indie king turned global icon made his millions — and what he’s spending it on.
🎬 From Teen Theater Kid to Global Box Office Star
Born December 27, 1995, in New York City, Timothée Hal Chalamet grew up in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen with a flair for the dramatic and a taste for the arts. His mom was a former Broadway dancer, and his dad, a French editor — giving Timmy dual U.S.–French citizenship and a seriously cultured upbringing.
He got his start in school plays and commercials before landing TV gigs like “Law & Order” and Showtime’s “Homeland” — but it was the silver screen that would change everything.
🍑 Breakout Moment: “Call Me by Your Name”
In 2017, Chalamet exploded into the mainstream with his role as Elio in the tender coming-of-age drama “Call Me by Your Name.” The performance scored him his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor, making him one of the youngest nominees in history at just 22.
That year, he also stole scenes in “Lady Bird” and shocked audiences in “Hot Summer Nights” and “Hostiles.” His emotional range and indie charm instantly made him the actor to watch.
🧑🚀 “Dune” Turned Him Into a Leading Man
Timothée traded Elio’s peaches for spice in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic “Dune” (2021), playing Paul Atreides — a role that launched him into full-blown blockbuster territory. He returned in “Dune: Part Two” (2024), one of the biggest box office hits of the year.
He’s also starred in:
- “The French Dispatch” (2021)

Bonus: he sang more than six original songs, showing off a brand-new side of his talent.
🎸 Becoming Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown”
Chalamet’s critical success continued in 2024’s “A Complete Unknown,” where he transformed into Bob Dylan, even performing over 40 Dylan songs live for the role. The performance earned him a second Oscar nomination for Best Actor, cementing his place among Hollywood’s elite.

He’s graced countless red carpets in bold, gender-fluid looks, from Haider Ackermann to Louis Vuitton. In 2021, he even served as a Met Gala co-chair — rarefied air, even by A-list standards.
