Timothée Chalamet is a style star – and he is also a cover star.
The “Call Me By Your Name” actor graced the cover of the October issue of British Vogue and made history as the first man to stand alone for the magazine.
Though he’s famous for his bold red carpet looks — which include bedazzled suits of armor, sequined hoodies and, most recently, a backless halter top — Chalamet, 26, has yet to appear in a fashion campaign.
“When [success] came my way, I felt very specific that I didn’t want people and I really didn’t want to see myself redeem,” he told the magazine.
He didn’t even want to make a fuss about his memorable cover moment, saying, “The nature of the world now, you know… It felt good not to make it too statement-y.”
That didn’t stop him from making a statement in his British Vogue spread, though, with the young star showing off his chest in a Stella McCartney chainmail tank top and sporty Gucci leather pants with a matching lace-up vest, often paired. with a pearl necklace.
“Timothée Chalamet comes to our throats with this shoot”, a fan sprung on Twitter.
While Chalamet declined to discuss his love life (or share much about his life outside of work in general), Chalamet did reveal the “career rule” Leonardo DiCaprio once shared with him: “No hard drugs and no superhero movies.”
Chalamet will soon be seen in ‘Wonka’, the epitome of the titular character in the Roald Dahl-based movie musical, giving him another chance to showcase his creativity.
“I hate to say it, but the dream as an artist is to throw anything you want against the wall, you know?” he said. “And I think I realize that one’s personal life, one’s adult life, can be pretty boring and the artist’s life can still be extraordinary.”
No one would dare call Timmy boring.
