Timothée Chalamet Says He Lost Out on Roles in ‘Maze Runner’ and ‘Divergent’ After Being Told ‘You Don’t Have the Right Body’ For Action Films


Timothée Chalamet says he lost out on roles in ‘Maze Runner’ and ‘Divergent’ after being told ‘you don’t have the right body’ for action films.

The film star, who now plays the lead role in blockbuster sci-fi series “Dune,” said he even tried to put on weight in order to change his physical appearance but it didn’t work. Chalamet is on the cover of Rolling Stone U.K. this month to promote his upcoming project, “A Complete Unknown,” in which he plays legendary musician Bob Dylan. Although he admitted to the magazine that before the film he’d been much more into hip-hop., even harbouring what he describes as “dead-on-arrival aspirations of rapping,” stepping into Dylan’s shoes for the past few years as he prepared for the role has turned him into a devoted fan.
