As Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet faces heavy criticism over self-promotional remarks he made while promoting his new film, comedian Chelsea Handler has publicly added sharp criticism, the Daily Mail reported on the 14th (local time).
According to the report, Chelsea Handler appeared on the podcast
Handler compared Chalamet's behavior to actor Leonardo DiCaprio and said, "Leo wouldn't talk like that. He is a true movie star," adding, "Chalamet's attitude is definitely new and unfamiliar."
Chalamet stirred controversy by describing his acting as "top-level performance" and "the best acting of my career" during a promotional tour for the film Marty Supreme. In one interview, he said, "I've been acting with real dedication for seven to eight years. This level of effort and work ethic naturally needs to be mentioned," and "I don't want people to take this for granted. This is truly a top-level result," drawing criticism of being "self-absorbed."
Chalamet also drew attention at an awards acceptance speech by saying, "I am pursuing greatness," and directly mentioning legendary actors Marlon Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Viola Davis.
Meanwhile, Chalamet is being mentioned as a leading Oscar contender after recently winning the Golden Globe for best actor for Marty Supreme. However, opinions remain divided over his confident remarks and bold promotional moves, with criticisms calling it "showmanship beyond confidence" and defenses saying "it's refreshingly frank," sparking ongoing debate.
