Hollywood star Timothee Chalamet has made headlines after being named Best Actor at the Critics Choice Award. In a heartfelt moment during his acceptance speech, he honored his longtime girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, expressing his deep affection for her.
A Heartfelt Acknowledgment
“Thank you to my partner for three years. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you,” Chalamet stated as he accepted the award for his role as aspiring ping-pong champion Marty Mauser in “Marty Supreme.” He also expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” When the camera panned to Jenner, she responded with a warm “I love you.”
Recognizing Fellow Artists
During his speech, Chalamet took a moment to acknowledge his fellow nominees, which included renowned actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio for “One Battle After Another,” Joel Edgerton for “Train Dreams,” Ethan Hawke for “Blue Moon,” Michael B. Jordan for “Sinners,” and Wagner Moura for “The Secret Agent.” After a moment of hesitation, Chalamet candidly admitted, “I’m more nervous than I thought I’d be.”
He also extended his thanks to Josh Safdie, who co-wrote and directed the film. “You made a story about a flawed man with a relatable dream, and you didn’t preach to the audience about what’s right and wrong. I think we should all be telling stories like that,” he noted.
A Rising Star’s Journey
Chalamet has an impressive array of accolades, including a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Critics’ Choice Award, along with nominations for two Academy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, and four British Academy Film Awards, not to mention a Grammy Award.
His career began in television with a role in the drama series Homeland. In 2014, he made his film debut in the comedy-drama Men, Women & Children and also appeared in Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed science fiction film Interstellar.
Chalamet gained international fame with his lead role in Luca Guadagnino’s coming-of-age film Call Me by Your Name, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, marking him as the third-youngest nominee in that category.
Through his impressive performances and heartfelt acknowledgments, Timothee Chalamet continues to capture hearts both on and off the screen.
