Timothee Chalamet’s Mustache Mishap on The Late Show
Timothee Chalamet, the 28-year-old Oscar nominee, made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote his new movie, “A Complete Unknown.” However, the spotlight quickly shifted from his movie to his mustache and goatee. During his banter with the 60-year-old host, Chalamet humorously mentioned how he had not hit puberty the first time he was on the show, and now he jokes about playing The Rock in his next film with his changed voice.
Chalamet’s Mustache Journey
It turns out that Chalamet sprouted the sparse facial hair for his role in Josh Safdie’s solo feature directorial debut, “Marty Supreme,” which he is also producing. Despite having the opportunity to shave it off after wrapping up production on a $70M-budget ping pong drama by A24, the actor seems to have grown fond of his newfound ‘stache.
Chalamet’s Stylish Arrival
Backstage, Chalamet showcased his playful side by demonstrating karate kicks while sporting a mustard-colored sweater wrapped around his neck like a scarf. The native New Yorker arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theater in Midtown Manhattan with a unique sense of style, wearing a blue-suede jacket over a white shirt and b&w-striped chef-style trousers, completing the look with black lace-up shoes and even dark sunglasses despite the nighttime setting.
Recognition and Future Projects
Chalamet’s appearance on The Late Show coincided with his nomination for the best actor in a motion picture (drama) at the upcoming 82nd Golden Globe Awards. Amidst fierce competition, the young actor has already garnered praise and accolades for his performance in “A Complete Unknown.”
As the actor continues to make waves in the film industry, it’s evident that his charm, talent, and perhaps even his mustache will continue to captivate audiences and critics alike. Despite the lighthearted banter about facial hair, Chalamet’s dedication to his craft and his ability to effortlessly transition between roles showcase his versatility and promise for future projects.
