Timothée Chalamet on TV Roles and Awards Disappointment
Timothée Chalamet recently shared with Vogue that he has no plans to return to television, expressing his focus remains elsewhere. The 29-year-old actor also opened up about his feelings after losing prestigious awards, including two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTA Awards.
Experiences with Award Losses
Despite the setbacks, Chalamet did win the SAG Award for Best Actor in February for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. However, shortly after, Adrien Brody won the Oscar for Best Actor for The Brutalist, edging Chalamet out of the top prize.
“If there’s five people at an awards show, and four people go home losing, you don’t think those four people are at the restaurant like, ‘Damn, we didn’t win?'” Chalamet told Vogue. “I’ve been around some deeply generous, no-ego actors, and maybe some of them are going, ‘That was fun.’ But I know for a fact a lot of them are going, ‘Fuck!’”
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck,” he added. “But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
Previously, Chalamet described losing awards as “uniquely hilarious,” pointing out the awkwardness of having to discard the speech written for a victory that didn’t come. He called that experience a moment when one must confront their own ego.
“You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick.'”
Summary
Chalamet candidly reveals the emotional challenges behind award losses and remains unapologetically dedicated to his craft while deciding against returning to TV roles.
