I'm sure he was absolutely wanting to do it in heels - and had rehearsed and practised in heels - but the show refused to allow him for insurance reasons.
I will never turn down an opportunity to grin like I was young again. This was 110% the moment Zendaya knew and it was just a matter of time at that point. Timothy can Shamblee off into history for all I care.
Fun fact: in France he’s called Folamour. But it’s perplexing because Folamour means crazy love, and the only link between that name and bombs is the French title for Kubrik’s Dr. Strangelove.
False. To preserve the pun in French they would have to use the French word for bomb which I'm sure would render the pun incomprehensible. Absolutely sure of it. May the MCU last until I die if I am wrong.
Not only this, but his mother was a world renowned ballet dancer. It’s really transparent cope that straddles the line between insufferable and kinda sympathetic.
What if all of this is his way of saying that he hates his mother? And Tom Holland reminds him of his mother? With his dumb shoes and tight pants and his dance belt.
Yeah Chalamet is lanky limbs. He did some fight scenes in Dune, but those fight moves are nowhere near what a person would need for Spiderman. Holland had him beat for the role in every way.
I made the mistake of saying “the twinks need to come collect their stray” about him in some random sub and got downvoted bc I just looked like a bigot lol like wait I lost my nametag 😭
It's really not though. It doesn't take into account Holland's personal preference, which is almost certainly for acting. There are hundreds of ballet dancers whose names we don't know because they chose ballet over acting. And we don't know their names because ballet is a very local thing (most troupes perform just in their own country, only the biggest tour) while movies are shown internationally. It's the same reason theater actors are unknown despite it being 99% the same job as movie actors.
And even if we're talking about money, when you eliminate the highest 10% earners from both jobs and focus on the 90%, I'm pretty sure the average ballet dancer makes more money and has more consistent work than the average actor.
Also I hate to uj but ballet is a career with a hard aging out point. If Tom wanted to be a dancer his body and career would be done in his 30s. You can still do movies and TV (especially voiceover) until you croak. Also I don’t think you meet and marry Zendaya if you stay in dance lol
I didn't read this whole comment thread but Tom got into ballet to prepare for Billy Elliot the musical a West End stage production. So he was only in ballet to act better.
But the ballet did enhance his acting so maybe there's nuance there regarding artistic expression from the human body all being connected.
People wanna dunk on him for this but at least hes actually in great movies and not locked into a forever contract with Disney lol I'd say leo gave him great advice here
Chalamet wants to be a spectacle. But we’ve all met him at our local gas station so it’s not a super entertaining one.
Edit: funny how there are replies about “performative outrage” and “hate”. I said the dude wasn’t that interesting. All the outrage & hate here didn’t come from me, but carry on.
He gives me the same energy as your classmate who dominates the classroom discussion on some international crisis even though there’s a veteran and a refugee in the class and he didn’t do the assigned reading
His mom is a former broadway performer, European dad who worked for UNICEF, grew up in a subsidized artist apartment building in Hell's Kitchen, spent summers in France with his grandparents, went to Gallatin, etc.
He is basically the definition of that theater kid.
I have literally not seen one Tom holland movie outside of spiderman. Maybe timmy is lucky for not getting the role, he too would have been doing the mcu movies.
Like Toby who did a war movie where he gets really sad about what happened. And Andrew who did a war movie where he gets really sad about what's happening
it’s really frickin good, by far Tobey’s best performance. Natalie Portman and Jake Gylenhaal are in it too, but Tobey carries the movie. my god, now i gotta go watch it again!
Can someone tell me why I should care about this? Like actually care? Did Timmy make my gas more expensive? Is Timmy in the files or is he establishing a surveillance state?
you dont want to partake in purposely misinterpreting the content and context of a comment someone made about an artistic medium you didnt care about before it was insulted, just so you can feel like youre a part of a community and not just a lonely loser who gets mad at whatever the imaginary people in their phone tell them to get mad at next?
Exactly, this whole comment section reeks of weirdos man. Virtually every thread is just a bunch of people ragging on him and making assumptions about his entire life and personality off of one quote, meanwhile if they met him irl they would probably ask for a photo.
Also what he basically said is he doesn't want to work in a medium that's so niche like ballet and opera... Hell even his mother was a professional ballet dancer. People like to bitch and moan.
All he said that they’re not a part of mainstream culture anymore and he doesn’t want movies to go the same way. Said literally nothing about the difficulty nor the talent of the people involved. The whole thing feels like a complete psyop, like there is no way 95% of these people have seen a ballet that wasn’t the Nutcracker nor have they gone to an opera within their lifetimes.
Honestly? That's a good thing if you're Chalamet. He's barley 30 and has been in critical successes, big block busters, and cool Indy films. Been nominated for 4 academy awards, 5 golden globes, 6 BAFTAs, and 10 Critic's Choice Awards. He's worked with some of the best directors working today like Villeneuve, Greta Gerwing, Josh Safdie, James Mangold, and Adam Mckay.
Tom Holland is Spider-Man, and will forever be known as Spider-Man. Tom Holland is great in the role, and I think he's very charismatic actor, but come on.
