Timothee Chalamet Reveals He Was Asked to Gain Weight for 2 Roles


Timothee Chalamet was advised to gain weight while auditioning for movie roles earlier in his career

“If I auditioned for The Maze Runner or Divergent, things of that variety that were popping when I was coming up, the feedback was always, ‘Oh, you don’t have the right body,’” Chalamet, 28, said on the Monday, November 11 episode of Apple Music’s “ The Zane Lowe Interview Series.” He compared his path to stardom with that of music legend Bob Dylan, whom he portrays in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown, which hits theaters on Christmas Day. Chalamet eventually graduated to the big time, headlining the megahit Dune movies as well as Wonka, which made $634 million at the worldwide box office last year.
