Timothée Chalamet Won’t Do TV Ever Again
Timothée Chalamet is not interested in appearing on small screens. Unless it’s a commercial directed by Martin Scorsese. Or hosting Saturday Night Live. In Vogue’s cover story on him, Chalamet said he’s not going back to TV ever again. “When I ask if he thinks he’ll ever return to it, Chalamet responds with a simple, self-assured ‘no,’” writes Mattie Kahn. “He doesn’t hedge with an out for ‘the right project’ or offer some caveat about a certain director. He just flashes a movie-star smile, and that is the end of our on-the-record conversation about that.”
Like most actors, Chalamet got his start on television. His first big role was in a 2009 episode of Law & Order. He also had recurring roles on Royal Pains and Homeland. Chalamet does watch TV, though. He says he binged all of Too Much — the Lena Dunham series starring Meg Stalter — which bugged his sister Pauline Chalamet. “She’s been all over me,” Chalamet told Vogue. “She’s like, ‘You can’t love Too Much without having seen Girls. Just watch the pilot!’” Refusing to do TV, watching Too Much before even starting Girls? Jessa behavior.
