AceShowbiz - Mark Eydelshteyn, a rising actor from Russia, has gained international fame for his uncanny resemblance to Hollywood star Timothee Chalamet. He recently made headlines with his audition video for Sean Baker's latest film, "Anora", which caught the director's attention with its nudity and creativity.
Eydelshteyn, 22, first rose to prominence after starring in the sci-fi series "Guest From the Future" in his native country. His likeness to Chalamet, with his curly dark hair, pale skin, and charming demeanor, has earned him the moniker "the Russian Timothee Chalamet."
In "Anora", Eydelshteyn plays Ivan, the spoiled son of a Russian oligarch who embarks on a wild adventure in New York City. Director Sean Baker was blown away by Eydelshteyn's audition, in which he used a vape as a prop to help him recall his lines.
Eydelshteyn's performance alongside Mikey Madison in "Anora" has been praised for its intensity and emotional depth. The film follows the couple's whirlwind romance and eventual downfall as they navigate drugs, violence, and the allure of easy money.
Despite his physical similarities to Chalamet, Eydelshteyn is eager to establish his own identity as an actor. He is grateful for the comparison, acknowledging Chalamet's talent, but believes everyone should remain focused on the present.
Eydelshteyn has expressed a desire to meet his doppelgenger one day, expressing curiosity about his work and the philosophy behind it. "Hi man. Thank you for your works. And do you like 'Anora'? What do you think about the philosophy of 'Anora'?" Eydelshteyn said in a playful message to Chalamet.
With his breakout role in "Anora," Mark Eydelshteyn is poised to become a major star in his own right. His captivating performance and undeniable charm have stolen the hearts of audiences worldwide, proving that he is more than just a lookalike-he is a rising talent with his own unique brilliance.
