Timothée Hal Chalamet (/ˈtɪməθi ˈʃæləm/ TIM-əth-ee SHAL-ə-may,[a] French: [timɔte ʃalame]; born December 27, 1995) is an American and French actor. His accolades include a Screen Actors Guild Award, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards, four British Academy Film Awards and four Golden Globe Awards.

Chalamet began his career in television, appearing in the drama series Homeland in 2012. In 2014, while a student at Columbia University, he made his film debut in the comedy-drama Men, Women & Children and appeared in Christopher Nolan's science fiction film Interstellar. Chalamet came to international attention with the lead role of a lovestruck teenager in Luca Guadagnino's coming-of-age film Call Me by Your Name (2017), earning a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor, and becoming the third-youngest nominee in the category.

Alongside supporting roles in Greta Gerwig's films Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019), Chalamet took on a starring role as a drug addict Nic Sheff in the biopic Beautiful Boy (2018). He then began leading big-budget films, portraying Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve's science fiction films Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), and Willy Wonka in the musical fantasy film Wonka (2023). For his portrayal of Bob Dylan in the biographical drama A Complete Unknown (2024), which he also produced, he was nominated for another Academy Award and became the youngest winner of the SAG Award for Best Actor.

On stage, Chalamet starred in John Patrick Shanley's autobiographical play Prodigal Son in 2016, for which he won a Lucille Lortel Award and gained a nomination for a Drama League Award. Offscreen, he has been labeled as a sex symbol and a fashion icon.
