Timothée Chalamet's meteoric rise to the top of Hollywood was nothing short of unprecedented. In the past year alone, the 22-year-old starred in a universally acclaimed movie and became the youngest performer to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor since 1939.

Though it seems like he literally came from nowhere, he didn't achieve this immense success overnight. Chalamet worked his way to the top of Hollywood, first appearing on TV shows Royal Pains and Homeland before landing a supporting role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. After appearing in a number of movies, most notably Lady Bird and Hostiles, he finally starred in Call Me By Your Name (a project he'd been attached to for three years). Thanks to his incredibly powerful and mature performance, this became the movie that changed his life, earning him Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations in the process.

Within 12 months, Chalamet has become one of Hollywood's most sought-after stars. With leading roles in Beautiful Boy and The King in his immediate future, not to mention a main role in the remake of Little Women on the horizon, the best is undoubtedly yet to come for this superb young actor.
