Timothée Chalamet Reacts to Marty Supreme Press Tour Backlash

“Certainly, everyone needs respite and relaxation and healing at times, and I’m not speaking in some maniacal pursuit way,” he explained, “but with such a unique lifestyle and career opportunity, that is to say, to work at a high level, why not be passionate about it at all? I’ve always given it my all.”

And while he thinks that pursuit is evident in his earlier films—Bones and All, Call Me By Your Name, Beautiful Boy and The King were among those he named—he feels his “artistry is growing.”

“It’s in formation,” he added. “My foundation has gotten stronger as an artist. So my canvas board got bigger, or my palette.”
