And we were all part of an ensemble."Celebrity Sightings In New York City - November 02, 2024 - Source: GettyIn spite of the insult, Timothée Chalamet shared with The Lincoln Lawyer icon that he has become used to turning a deaf ear to unsolicited remarks about his career."I always said, 'Beware of the people in life that get more of the advice they give you than you get at the advice.' They're thrilled by the act of giving you advice. All of a sudden you can't listen to what they're saying anymore because they're flexing on you so hard."The two actors have worked together in the Academy Award-winning film, though Timothée Chalamet clarified that the person he was talking about wasn't Matthew McConaughey."You never did that to me, though, which I'm grateful for."Timothée Chalamet expresses gratitude to Matthew McConaughey for his warmth: "I just can't thank you enough"The Variety interview was the two stars' reunion years after starring in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.At the time, Timothée Chalamet was only 17, fresh out of high school, and was still internally debating whether he would continue his studies or commit to acting fully.In the 2013 movie, he portrayed the role of Tom, the youngest of the two children of Cooper, played by McConaughey.During the chat, the Dune lead shared how his former onscreen dad inspired him."I remember you had a yoga mat, and you'd be working out and sleeping on set.

It just changed my life, man."McConaughey was moved by the younger actor's words, responding:"You were pretty easy to be warm to.""Dune: Part Two" New York Premiere - Source: GettyChalamet, even after leading smash hit projects through the years, told McConaughey that the film remains his favorite to date."Man, that remains my favorite project I've ever been in.

Coming out of high school, it's hard to take yourself super seriously. You can feel like you're wasting time or stuck-up or something."
