AceShowbiz - Timothee Chalamet took to Instagram Live on Monday afternoon, December 23 for a 14-minute performance that left his 19.3 million followers both bewildered and entertained.
The 28-year-old Oscar-nominated actor, who turns 29 this Friday, started the livestream seated somberly in an office chair on a massive, empty soundstage. The backdrop featured a montage of Bob Dylan footage with "Blind Willie McTell" playing as Chalamet's homage to the music legend.
The livestream quickly turned wild as Chalamet, who is portraying Dylan in the upcoming biopic "A Complete Unknown", smashed a guitar in a nod to Nirvana's iconic on-stage antics.
The scene shifted dramatically when The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" blared through the room as Chalamet raised his arms triumphantly. A large screen then flashed, "Congratulations Timmothee," misspelling his name. Without uttering a word, Chalamet danced ecstatically around the empty space and fired three confetti cannons into the air.
The performance took another unexpected turn when Chalamet dipped his head in a sink, soaking himself completely before ripping off his shirt. Adding a personal touch, a shadowy figure resembling his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, stepped into the frame, hugging Chalamet before quickly exiting.
The livestream's climax featured Chalamet performing the Homer Simpson spinning move on the ground before he walked out onto a rain-soaked loading dock, humming to himself. The entire sequence was a mix of chaos, celebration, and personal flair that captivated fans and created buzz across social media.
Chalamet is gearing up for the release of his movie "A Complete Unknown", which opens in U.S. theaters this Wednesday and in the U.K. on January 17. Chalamet spent five years preparing for this role, enlisting the same team of coaches that his "Dune" co-star Austin Butler used for his portrayal of Elvis Presley. The biopic, executive produced by Bob Dylan himself, showcases Chalamet's meticulous dedication to his craft.
The role earned a nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards. His performance has also already been recognized with numerous awards, including from the Gotham Awards and the Palm Springs Film Festival.
From his deeply committed method acting to his spontaneous and unforgettable Instagram performance, Timothee Chalamet continues to solidify his place as one of the most intriguing actors of his generation.
