Timothée Chalamet Talks To Frank Ocean About Everything Inspiring In ‘Call Me By Your Name’

The Young Actor Definitely Started The Year On The Right Foot

Undoubtedly rising actor Timothée Chalamet has given a lot to talk about. He started the year on the right foot. Chalamet worked on two great films of 2017 both nominated for this year’s Oscar, Call me by your name and Lady Bird.

A few weeks ago he became the youngest person nominated for the best lead actor since 1939. Congratulations to this amazing actor, and if it was not enough, now he has had an exclusive interview with Frank Ocean. Timothée you cannot complain, only good things!

The power couple of interviews

In a piece for V Man, the actor talks to Frank Ocean about “Call me by your name”. Nobody is more excited about the interview than Chalamet himself: “This is very exciting. It’s an honor to talk to you, man. I’m a great admirer,” he tells the host as soon as the connection is established. “This is going to be a real test to keep my voice level. Keep this as normal as possible from a conversation.”

The rest of this interview is just as adorable. Timothée quotes Ocean’s “Seigfried” lyrics, calls him one of the “five or six artists” with whom he can be creatively inspired. Timothée Chalamet even says that interview “means the world” for him.

A true fanboy?

We could already appreciate the fanboy that Timothée Chalamet can become, and more when it comes to Frank Ocean.

“I think it’s also good for you that this is your opening song”

Still, Frank Ocean is very humble, relaxed and casually a bit poetic. “I think it’s also good for you that this is your opening song,” he tells Chalamet about “Call me by your name”. “It is such an appropriate base to make papers like these that have so much heart. There’s a lot of vulnerability from the beginning, completely boutique or small, but on the lips of so many”.

These fellow moments also discussed the nostalgic appeal of the film, developed in mid-1983. “What a tragedy for movies now that if you want to be contemporary, phones should be involved. Text messages and FaceTime” says Chalamet. “I do not know if [the characters in] Call me by your name would ever have that relationship if there were passive-aggressive comments and” I like “.

“In fact, they had to talk, understand each other and fight with their emotions.”
