Timothée Chalamet

Age: 27

When a young actor is described as a “heartthrob” there is a danger of assuming he shouldn’t be taken seriously. But that’s definitely not the case with Timothée Chalamet, who in 2017 became the third youngest nominee for Best Lead Actor for his portrayal of Elio Perlman in “Call Me By Your Name.” His star has only grown since, especially following his captivating performance as Paul Atreides in 2021’s “Dune.” He has also hosted Saturday Night Live, demonstrating his ability to act in any genre and form of entertainment.
