"He reminds me of the kid in high school who's the most talented in your theater classes, so he gets all the leads even if he's wrong for the parts. He needs to play someone ugly!"
"He wants success and tries really hard for it, and trying is cringe to our generation. Marty Supreme would be impossible without him. It was obviously written for him, and he carries it. As great as the rest of the cast is, the movie wouldn't work with anyone else playing that part."
"He is the major movie star of his generation, and one of the few actors of any age who can reliably open a movie to solid box office. He is also ubiquitous, always promoting a project or posing for a Chanel campaign."
A dramatic literature teacher consults his students about Timothée Chalamet to understand contemporary cultural perspectives. The response is enthusiastic but divided: female students acknowledge his talent while expressing fatigue with his prominence, while male students praise his work ethic and charisma. One student compares him to the most talented high school theater student who gets all leads regardless of suitability. Another notes that trying hard is considered uncool by their generation. Students agree Chalamet is the major movie star of his generation with proven box office draw, though some feel he's overexposed through constant project promotion and brand campaigns.
