Although the actor has a chill vibe and a party demeanor, it doesn’t necessarily mean that The King actor is always happy about being a part of Hollywood. There were some moments that Chalamet had to bear through, especially one involving the Golden Globes.
Portraying the role of Bob Dylan in the 2024 film A Complete Unknown, fans were hoping that Timothée Chalamet would receive an award for his work. Chalamet, on the other hand, had some other thoughts in his mind.
Timothée Chalamet’s thoughts on awards
Before the Golden Globes 2025 took place, the star had already earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of Bob Dylan. So when the actor sat down for a chat to promote his film, they had some talks about actors and their awards.
Sitting down for an interview with SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up, the actor couldn’t help but drop some truth bombs about what it’s like to lose an award. He confessed,
Look, I’ll just say this… there’s nothing more uniquely hilarious and something you cannot share with anyone when you get home and you tear up the little thing that you never had to use and you think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick. On what planet did you think you were gonna use this?’
Although he was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor for A Complete Unknown, Adrien Brody took the cake for his iconic performance in The Brutalist.
On the other hand, A Complete Unknown didn’t fall too far behind in terms of fame as the film got a Best Motion Picture Golden Globe nomination and currently stands at a rating of 7.8/10 on IMDb and an equally high of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film is currently screening in select theaters in the U.S.
