Nicole Flender, mother of actor Timothée Chalamet, recognized his talent long before his stardom, identifying his potential during his high school talent show. Timothée, who previously aspired to be a soccer player, found his calling in acting, dazzling audiences with roles in various award-nominated films. Flender shares a unique experience as the mother of two successful actors, including Timothée and his sister, Pauline Chalamet. She often accompanies him to events, where their close relationship is highlighted by media interest.
"He was a normal kid," Flender said. "He wanted to be a soccer star." Before his talent was recognized, he was simply her son, unbeknownst to the fame ahead.
Before his baby face was on the cover of Time magazine and before he was the answer to a New York Times crossword puzzle, he was just her son.
Flender knew the theater was his calling when the crowd went wild for his high school rap persona - and not just because she was a biased mom who recognized his spark.
His star has certainly risen. He's played fighters, lovers, Willy Wonka, and even King Henry V, featuring in seven Oscar-nominated films.
