- In this video essay we dive into Timothee Chalamet and the incredible career he has been able to have up until this point. I wanted to talk about how Timothee Chalamet has changed hollywood forever and how Timothee Chalamet is the perfect face for this generation, he truly embodies the cultural shift society is going through. from Call Me By Your Name to Dune Timothee Chalamet has never failed to disappoint in showcasing his incredible emotional range as an actor. Timothee Chalamet's next movie Bones and All comes out in september and many people are excited to see what he will do in that one.

Adam Driver is another interesting one. Not necessarily an antithesis to TC, but parallel to that. Manly, unconventionally attractive, repressed and emotionally explosive.
Yeah I would definitely agree
Yes! Agree
maybe a foil is the word you were looking for? I definitely see that
@@haley5735 Yes!
Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) is next up if he gets the right roles.
No hate, but people thinking TC is a new portrayal of masculinity on screen are wrong. Early Leonardo DiCaprio (and maybe Johnny Depp?) had the similar commentary but as they grow and transition from young teen to grown adult they meet the “traditional” masculinity.
For me, TC filmography is brilliant but the real test will be when he does the transition and how?
True, was thinking too about Leo right away
I've had the same thought. Maybe he'll follow a Hugh Jackman trajectory but it's yet to be seen.
Interesting take.
I wonder how much of that was done by Hollywood. People become like the people they hang around (we all do), so I'm curious how much of their transition was influenced by the surroundings of film.
Spot on.
Just like Leo.
I was waiting for this comment. I’m not a fan of his. In fact, Dune reminded me of LOTR where I loved all the supporting characters but thr so called lead (Frodo) bugged me. Same thing happened with Dune. I also heard a rumor that he was one of those guys in high school (he was breaking into Hollywood pretty much right when he graduated) that made fun of girls for their weight/appearance. While I would hate to be held accountable for the idiot I was in High School, I thought current HS kids would have been schooled on bullying etc.
I’ll admit when I saw this video, I hate watched it bc if he’s the new normal in Hollywood, then it’s same old same old with Hollywood letting me down.
I think he is amazingly gifted and perhaps the finest American actor of his generation. He brings acting into a new dimension and possesses the soul of a true artist.
French american
You’re right. His Dad is French and I known he has spent a lot time in France and speaks French. I’m sure this has influenced him greatly.
The River Phoenix of this time.
The more I see of Chalamet's work, the more impressed with him I become. He is a phenomenally honest actor who simply puts it all out there so that one is totally drawn into the character's being.
I agree. And thanks for the comment I really appreciate it
what did you think of his portrayal of kyle in "lady bird" sir?
I'm invested in his journey.
He's not always going to choose the best roles or be in the best movies, but I'll bet he's going to be a success.
Even A listers don't have a hit with every film.
As much as I love Timothée Chalamet and his amazing career, I must confess I’m finding your theory too simplistic and somehow inaccurate.
You’re disregarding the rise of a Johnny Depp alongside Tom Cruise, for example. Hollywood has always have enough room for muscular guys like The Rock and quirky indie darlings like Adam Driver. There has always been room for a Keanu Reeves and a Christian Bale sharing the spotlight with Vin Diesel and Hugh Jackman.
I am not questioning the impressive acting abilities and talent of Timothée Chalamet. I just don’t think his rise to fame is because he represents this generation or for his willingness to show his softer and vulnerable side. In fact, all the actors I’ve mentioned have also been able to portray vulnerability with great success.
Rock and Vin Diesel aren't even a great actors at all. They are just bodybuilders
One actor comes to my mind - Brad Pitt. Sure he was buff and handsome, but his rise had more to do with his ability to express emotion (Legends of the Fall, Interview with a Vampire, Seven, etc) than with his physique or an ability to do stereotypically manly action scenes.
Personally I think when somebody comes along who can well and truly act (not just look handsome and follow direction), such as the likes of James Dean and Robert De Niro that was mentioned in the video, then an audience notices and pays attention, irrelevant of their looks. In fact, I'd say the admiration for their skill and ability makes them perceived as more attractive to the audience than they would otherwise.
@@shashwat007 To be fair, I think the Rock has better acting ability than what is noticed.
but it all comes down to the question of: is this generation more open and acceptable and encouraging for to men being vulnerable and less masculine? yes, and thats why TC defines his generation. past generations were more masculine.
@@sharielane - Many people forget that Brad Pitt is really a character actor. His best performances have been when he was not playing the traditional leading man.
Hes a great actor but then again he comes of a line of actors like River Phoenix, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, and even James Dean. All very vulnerable and mostly have gotten roles against the archetype of very macho the stars or characters. DiCaprio, before Titanic, also sought out more challenging character based films rather than big budget fairs. But I’m happy and excited whenever I see Chalamet’s work. Hes a great actor and his technique is so intriguing and real. Hes a great addition and extension to the sort of actors I just mentioned. In a way, hes the best of his generation and leading the new batch of male actors.
thats what I thought. He reminds me a lot of young Dicaprio (Basketball Diaries, Romeo & Juliet, Total Eclipse)
Timothée Chalamet isnt the new DeNiro or Al Pacino or Dicaprio. He is his own masterpiece and i pray the movie industry doesnt tear him apart like they did with Heath Ledger. Btw as a french person i cant wait to see him in a french movie
They will tear him apart. Hollywood is run by a sex cult . Eyes wide shut.
Is the French Dispatch not available to you?
@@natashaharsh9793 it is but its not a french movie and he doesn't speak in french
I love him in Dune, he’s perfect for the role
I agree 100%
I remember a time when Hollywood tried making Ansel Elgort the next big thing in acting. And to his credit Elgort did embody the traits of what you would expect in a typical Hollywood leading man. He is handsome, tall and muscular and certainly had a lot of personal charm and charisma. However I think he lacks that X factor Timmy has that makes him not only stand out but also very compelling to watch and relate to. With his breakout role The Fault in Our Stars, it did seem like had attempted to capitalise on the cultural shift of playing "sensitive men", but just didn't have the raw talent of Timothee to give memorable performances with layers and depth.
Is ansel elgort considered standard handsome? I never considered him to be
ansel Elgort also got in trouble with a woman (I forgot specifically what ) which dampens which changes at popularity
The funniest thing is that they both went to LaGuardia high school with each other, and Timothée often lost roles in their schools musicals to him (he did the talent shows instead and that’s where his rap clips come from).
Last movie I liked about Ansel Elgort was Baby Driver, it became one of my favorite movies.
He lacks humility just like Noah Centineo did.
I literally idolize Timothée. The last actors that I idolized were Josh Hutcherson and Zachary Gordon when I was younger, but Timothée took it to another level.
I don't think he changed thr industry. Is a good actor, posdibly few of the best youngest actors of his generation. The case, is that he knows how to select a rol.
The thing i like the most about his acting is how natural and immersive it is. He has an easiness - that's how we perceive it, cause he definitely puts a lot of work into it -that totally grabs you and feel every emotion he's feeling. I watched Bones and All at the Venice Film Festival and ofc, i knew he was in it and he has so much star power nowadays that when he appeared on screen, i was like, 'oh, there he is, Timothee'. But in the next second you totally forget it's him on screen and all you see it's his character. And i was thinking afterwards, this man did a movie like Bones And All (exceptional movie btw) and a couple of months later jumped into Wonka. He has some crazy range and i love how he's one of the very few young actors who became famous thanks to his acting, not a former Disney child, not being part of MCU, not a pop star.
Timothee reminds me so much of Leonardo Di Caprio when he was young. They both went from acting on romantic movies to a whole another genre! (Leo for example: inception, shutter island and so on)
this actor needs to be cast in an adaptation of oscar wilde's the picture of dorian gray
That would be great!
@@thejessegrant
i can't imagine any other actor even from past decades who seems best suited to be dorian gray
@@maggyfrog Ben Barnes played the role very well but the movie itself was really bad, for a short while there was a will he/won’t he become a leading man, but it didn’t happen, even though he’s a fairly decent actor. But a reimagining of Dorian Gray with Timothy in the role would be really interesting to see.
@@gagalover2k10
ben barnes is quite a good actor but the way dorian gray was described in the books didn't really strike me as his overall physical impression on screen.
Yes, he'd be fantastic in that!
Instead of muscles and masculinity, he has the looks. Simple as that.
While Timothee Chalamet is a world class actor, he has not altered the landscape of leading men. Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp rose to fame by playing emotional and sensitive characters. Part of Johnny Depp’s downfall was that his acting became a parody of itself, once he started doing blockbusters. While actors, such as Colin Farrell and Jude Law, lament that Hollywood tried molding them into the stereotypical “leading man” early in their careers.
As for Timothee Chalamet’s height…. he is 5’10”, which is considered tall. Thus, significantly taller than the likes of Tom Cruise. Meaning, it is very understandable how Timothee Calamet was cast in “Dune” and “Wonka”. At the end of the day, he has become successful due to his talent. It also does not hurt that he is tall and handsome.
Excellent thesis on Timothee Chalamet!
He is a truly unique actor!
Thank you so much. Overwhelmed by the amount of compliments on this video so thank you!
@@thejessegrant No problem!
He does the kind of films I like and he’s on my list of actors I want to work with!
The hate for timothee chalamet is real. Sad because he’s very talented but people love to downgrade his success
Theirs hate because he is good but not good enough to be a lead like tom holland or james Marsden.
@@stuffandthingzzzz3623 He is good enough to be a lead..... Yall need to understand for dune he was acting as directed...... the second part will be better.
@@stuffandthingzzzz3623 and your faves you are mentioning have all praised him …
Dope video. We stan Timothée Chalamet until the end of time.
Every 20 to 30 years producers and directors find a good character actor and shove him into leading roles nonstop. Happened with jack nicholson and a lot of others.
I remember when I saw him first time. I was stunned by his beauty
I love him as an actor as well as a person. He seems like a very awkward but genuine human being.
I would realllllly question the idea that those were the men that women wanted. They were the men that men wanted to be, i.e. a male fantasy.
I get your point. I definitely thought about if I should take that part out of the video but ended up leaving it in there, but you definitely have a point.
I agree. Many who pull the strings and are in power in Hollywood are secretly or openly gay, and Timothée is every gay man's dream. Girls, of course, like him, too - but moonlight got many oscars, then a year later CMBYN got an oscar, so being a handsome feminine man really does help nowadays
'Cause he's MASSIVELY talented and he wants to be an actor, not a rich celebrity.
Nothing wrong with being rich or celebrated.
Your commentary is superb; I love the intelligence and diligence with which you reveal to us what we already sensed but may have not articulated: Timothee Chalamet is the real thing, a benevolent phenomenon.
Appreciate it!
I think there are good points here that relate to changing shifts in attitudes to masculinity at large but I think a lot of the points, and their subsequent commenters jumping at them, are wrong. To say he's the greatest of his generation is kind of a cop-out as he's relatively young. If they don't already have agents and contacts and have been hustling for close to a decade then A lot of the 18-25 bracket are yet to even finish their studies at university and perhaps haven't even fully committed to the career yet. For reference, Johnathan Majors only wrapped up his education at the Yale school of drama at 27, likewise, Meryl Streep was 26 when she graduated from the same institution. For reference I'm not a forty-something trying to convince myself it's not too late to chase the dream, I'm 22 and currently studying for my master's in acting at RADA in the UK. So this comes from a genuine place of love for the art and industry. I say this with an appreciation for Chalamet's contributions to the field and admiration for his career so far, but there is so much more yet to be seen. Acting is by far the most elusive of the art forms and as such to quote the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman (my personal hero) "is not something you just get good at and stay good at" - it's a lifelong affair that exacts a toll as in all relationships. It will be interesting to see how Timothee makes the inevitable transition from essentially boyish adolescent roles to more adult-based characters. Seeing him one day play say a young father will be interesting. But I also add that the works yet to be made are an equally exciting prospect. I'm lucky that I know many talented young people across many different fields who I have no doubt will go on to forge fantastic careers, if you too know these people, age regardless, be excited for them the way you are for Chalamet. That may sound contrived and shallow perhaps even facetious - but it could be the difference between them writing that screenplay and just packing it in for that job their uncle offered them at the family business. Between them going for that meeting, subbing for that agent, taping for that show, and slowly allowing their vision to crumble like a forgotten fresco. Raise them up and so too will they raise you.
The reason timothee chalamet is so popular is not because he plays characters who are "emotionally unstable," it is because he is a good actor. Being emotionally open isn't better than controlling your emotions, which a man should be able to do. Also, the reason Paul Atredies is less stoic is because he is still a boy, and was written like that in the book, not because of a "cultural shift."
@@paulcris107 Perhaps, but you can't just attribute his popularity to the characters he plays.
His energy in dune 2 is unmatchable
he's absolutely amazing! there's just something about him that he brings to every role he plays. loved this video!
Thank I appreciate the support!
I love Timmy....adore him and have tried to watch every single movie , play, rehearsal or anything with him in it......yet I know people who have never heard of him.....or his good looks!
I love Timothee. I am from India where many men are forced to be more masculine. You are not allowed to cry. If you are gay then you are basically dead. I hated LGBTQ community as if I was programmed to do so.
Enter Call me by your name. I watched it because it was recommended by Yms and Chris Stuckman. At the end of the film I was crying. I was rooting for a gay boy.
Then I remember that he was in Interstellar as well. I have seen all of his films. He surely has great talent and a great career. He is a better actor than Tom Holland.
Whenever Dune is rentable, I'm watching it. Currently only buyable.
For me, it was DUNE! I didn't know his name before.
I’d imagine that’s most people but not a bad rabbit hole to go down as all his movies are great aha
Beautifully made essay congratulations
This is a well produced synopsis. Thank you
Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it
This was an excellent analysis. While I was watching it, I was almost forced to admit to myself that in the past few years, I have been seeking out the movies and series that have included relatable actors and characters, rather than "blockbuster stars"..... Well done.
Appreciate it man! The positive feedback means more than you know
excellent analysis!
Thank you I really appreciate that!
He reminds me of Louis Hofmann (he's a German young actor) I think they have that same charisma in terms of acting it's the eyes that speak a lot and full of emotion and that's rare.
I agree 100% also thanks for the comment I appreciate the positive engagement! Means a lot
The River Phoenix of today.
Timothy is a male revolution ❤
great vid!
Thank you! I really appreciate the support
Timothée Chalamet has potential definitely
He's on the way to become a Great Actor
He's young and haven't achieved that
I only saw that crazy insane good acting so far in his career
Call me by your name, Beautiful boy and The King
And other movies are good acting
But the level he had done in these 3 are unmatched
He has a long way to go
I finger crossed want him to be
Great like Cillian Murphy not like Leonardo Dicaprio
To be honest
River Phoenix also belongs in the lineage linking James Dean to Timothée Chalamet, though there's no knowing what direction he would have taken. I can't picture Phoenix as a John Wick sort of character any more than I can TC, but I wouldn't have guessed Keanu Reeves would become a symbol of vengeance like Wick either. Adam Driver as Wick, yes. He's very pro heroic masculinity, as his support of the armed forces shows.
What about DiCaprio?
I definitely see your point. But I would argue that DiCaprio was pushed by the industry. Where as Chalamet for the most part was pushed by the audience and film fans. But they definitely are similar in many ways
Timothee Chalamet could narrate an enormously important documentary about his French father's village, Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, that saved hundreds of Jewish children during World War II. In 1990 the town, primarily Protestant, was collectively honoured as the Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem in Israel for saving Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe.
Hi Jesse, i lost you for a while and hope you're back in my loop.Your vidoes stopped dropping into my feed. i tried googling but i didn't get your sir name correst. i tried Graham, Grand, and a few others. You always make such good sence. i'm glad you found your way back to my feed...
Ahaha I’m glad I did too. Appreciate support means more than you know!
The fact that he was once the unremarkable older brother in interstellar.
I know it’s hilarious who would have thought ahaha
This catches a lot. But one point which I slightly parts ways on-- I think Montgomery Cliff and River Phoenix should be in the early list replacing Tom Cruise. It isn't that sensitive replaces manly, its more that sensitive gets more recognition than it used to - its giving manly a run for the money. As it should. And, btw, Harry Styles is the TC of the pop space.
I definitely see your point! Thanks for the engagement and hope you liked the video overall
@@thejessegrant I so appreciated the video and your points. Keep in up! And I am so happy to see this kind of work these days- as well as the TC's and HS's of the world. Gives me hope.
Sylvester Stallone is shorter than TCH. Also, Bruce Willis is not that tall:)))) Most importantly, Paul Atreides in the first book is lanky underdeveloped 15-year old teen.
Tom Cruise is 5’6” at most.
he will always be famous my timmy i love him
Nice video!
Thank you appreciate it
It also changed because we no longer look for a ladder when it comes to partners , people don’t want that overly-masculine boyfriend that gets jealous and behaves like a bodyguard , we look for human connections , we look for closure , not limited to romantic relationships , and being emotionally available and being fine with being a human being help with that which men has never been allowed to do , so this is a huge shift for men , especially around the globe , I was born and raised in a “traditional “ country and I’ve always been left out and seen as “other “ even got called slurs and names because I don’t read as a overly-animalistic masculine , and have been more emotionally open and ready for a connection , this is refreshing , even though things aren’t gonna change much in where I’m from , this will open the door
I'd put marlon brando on the list as well
he is the brand new androgyne actor. That's it.
Wonderful actor, wonderful person.
Makes me think of James Dean
I think perhaps we're missing his face - he is an incredibly attractive individual. I can almost guarantee that otherwise, he wouldn't be anywhere near this current level of fame. (That said, he's a great actor nonetheless.)
Timothee Chalamet represents the female gaze
Excellent....
You know, he actually tried out to be spider man and got turned down for Tom Holland… so I wouldn’t necessarily say he chooses Indie roles, I think that’s just a niche he fell into. With the exception of dune.
I was aware of that. However I recommend listening to his interview on the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast. He goes into detail about doing smaller indie movies
Whilst Timothy is a skilled actor, would others agree this idea that he’ll change the male stereotype in Hollywood might be a fad? He seems to be different for his lack of physicality and youth but remember he is also rather handsome and there had to be a reason why he was selected for various roles which would get him onto the Hollywood mainstream casting choices other than his performance.
This might be the beginning of what you describe in effect as a cultural phenomenon. It may also just be a matter of a more relatable actor coming into the screen perhaps representing the most active and lively generation of the day.
Of course, it is a fad. Young actors playing emotional characters has always been the norm. Gen Zers just do not understand that film existed befor the year 2000. Brad Pitt, despite being tall and handsome, is actually a character actor. Rather than a traditional leading man. Johnny Depp used to be one of the greatest actors, before becoming a parody of himself. Leonardo DiCaprio was a teen heartthrob. Heck, Christian Bale portrayed Laurie in “Little Women”. Timothee Chalamet is no different. Plus, contrary to what the video claims, he is actually fairly tall.
As for the physicality, Timothee Chalamet has the exact same physique as Eddie Redmayne.
His role as Willy Wonka will be…interesting, to say the least. If he’s able to elevate the role even if the movie itself turns out mediocre or bad, then that’s a true sign of leading man material.
I 100% agree. Appreciate the comment and engagement means a lot
@@thejessegrant no problem 🙂
Good luck trying to top Gene Wilder.
This video is very interesting in its points regardless of if we agree with it or not, it becomes an obvious unobvious phenomenon after hearing about it from this video, quite interesting. Other actors that make me think of what’s explained here are, Johnny Depp, Adam Driver, Robert Pattinson…
Yet I had not quite grasped the phenomenon as well as after seeing this video.. particular actors that represent subtle yet ever more noticeable changes of what we consider important and desirable of the male stereotypes as times change.. ha it’s an interesting way of reading through moviea
Yeah aha I always analyse film and it’s ties to society and culture cause I am a filmmaker and the son of journalists so can’t help but read deeply into things aha
I LOVE HIM
Timothy Chalamet has a God given Jawline and is a Norwood deity when it comes to hair...what are you even talking about? also his light eyes perfectly compliment his darker hair..Timothy chalamet looks more like a top 0.01% tier Tik Tok star than normal guys
I know it's got nothing to do with the video, but i love how the narrator didn't know that Dune was based of a book.
Phenomently talanted and greate perfomer of new jeneration of movie Star TC is wonderful his own way🌹⭐⭐🎦👌
How does Sylvestor Stallone have height? He’s 5’10 as well as Timotee which isn’t short (it’s average) but it isn’t the most “aspiring”?
I think TC was always going to be recognized as a serious and talented actor it just would have shown up in a different way. More Dustin Hoffman instead of Leo DiCaprio.
I would definitely agree
Better timing than Robert Pattinson, right?
But maybe with similar style of acting
Watches CMBYN once:
It's so validating to know that conventionally attractive straight white men can still have so much influence in media specifically and the world generally
Is that sarcastic?
@@GirlDo3 Very much so
What you're describing is what Dicaprio did first?
He is a nepotism baby, as his uncle is a film director and his mother was an actress when she was younger. However, this doesn't mean that Timothée isn't a great performer. His ability to connect with audiences is unprecedented imo.
He’s actually not . People keep saying this but it’s not true. His mother was not an actress. She was a former broadway dancer. Also it took him 10 years to get a breakthrough role, he was almost rejected to LaGuardia and he had many auditions / rejections . Doesn’t sound like nepotism to me.
No not a nepotism baby go read the article about his mother now! Maybe it was a tad easier but he worked as hard as everyone else and his talent and personality payed off now sure he did get advice from his family and they encouraged him to act but very few people knew his mother or uncle’s name before timothée chalamet
@@sadehenry4692 What I meant is that despite growing up in a show biz family and using his connections at the start of his career, he still managed to show the world how talented he is. There's nothing wrong with being helped by people in the high places when you're a young actor struggling to make a breakthrough, as long as you're talented, imo.
He auditioned for all his early roles though, his family didn’t help him, his uncle and mother haven’t been active for years.
How he changed Hollywood????
Well you sound like a very dedicated fan. Personally, I think his body of work is at best a mixed bag. I was totally on the Chalamet train with Call Me By Your Name, but much of his work after hasn’t been great at all. I also don’t think “the west” has given up on masculinity as you seem to think with your fan fair “essay”.
I understand but I don't entirely agree.
Hes not going to notice you.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
He might have changed hollywood but men should not be completely changed. There has to be a balance between feminine and masculine in both men and women . That's the only way a society truly progresses. Otherwise it will sink.
Hey I’m 100% with you there must always be both sides to everything, I spent 9 years of my childhood in Beijing and 3 years in Dubai so I’m 100% someone who thinks there should be both feminine and masculine.
he essentially is a different young actor because he made it without being a CHILD actor
Definitely!
Look Timothee Chalamet is a huge star but to say he is the new face of masculinity feels almost like an insult to someone his age. Actors like Marlon Brando have shown emotions to his characters in a deep meaningful level too but this is a great video i just think that the whole idea that men connect to action figures for the sake of them being action figures in action movies and it is the thing women are attrected too for so long and only now we want to see characters more deep and meaningful is wrong.
Appreciate your feedback I’m glad you didn’t just hate and gave reasoning. Appreciate it man
@@thejessegrant man you listen to what the people that have interest in your videos have to say i am gonna check out more of your videos
Personally I very much disagree but I still think this was a good video
timothy chevrolet is the new leonardo dicaprio.
Why haven't you done one on Zendaya
I’m actually working on the script for a Zendaya video as we speak ahaha.
And no you're absolutely incorrect do not have been written and made with the exact same type of character in Paul's shoes they wouldn't of been a strong Arnold Schwarzenegger type you're hilarious for saying that
Timothee chalamet is cool but the person who is actually changing hollywood is Robert Pattinson.
Tim is 6 ft btw.
He’s 178cm which is 5’10
@@thejessegrant well, I have met him, at the airport about a year ago now. He was in slippers and I'm 5'10 myself. So I know.
He's very much like Leonardo
@@thejessegrant - 5’10” is tall. Tom Cruise is 5’6”, and Daniel Radcliffe is 5’4”.
I love Timothee Chalamet and his incredible portrayals of every character he plays, but one thing I couldn't stop thinking throughout the video is that with all the progress we've made the type of actor that symbolises cultural shifts is still a white cishet man. That's gotta change
it's not his fault lmao
there's nothing wrong with being white or heterosexual, the fact that you think there is shows how little thought you put into your comment.
I’d like to hope that the cultural shift is it doesn’t matter what gender or race an actor is they can still be the face of a generation. Another face of this generation you could argue is Zendaya who is a mixed race woman.
Its fine and your loathing of white men is every bit as prejudiced and gross as you likely imagine the cishet boogeymen of your nightmares to be.
@@pingu1926 no one here said that there is anything wrong with being white or heterosexual, ironically the fact that you thought that the original commenter was saying that shows how little thought you put into your comment.
What the original commenter was pointing out is that famous Hollywood leading men are almost always white and heterosexual, and the biggest, most influential and highest paid stars in Hollywood are usually white heterosexual men.
Even in the beginning of this video when this youtuber was listing the biggest, most influential stars that have had the biggest impact on the film industry (Robert deniro, Leo DiCaprio, tom cruise etc), they were all white men. Obviously there is nothing wrong with having famous straight white male actors, but it’s pretty obvious that there tends to be far more opportunities available in the industry for those sort of actors over other actors, which we should work on changing.
Itll change hollywood forever, huh...?
Every twebty to thirty years huh..?
Loll
I think this take is a bit blinkered and confirmation biasy- not that I disagree with the changing idea of masculinity (in fact I’m quite in support of it)- but there were many actors who were huge hits before who weren’t typical male action hero types, and there already was a movie of Dune made before this just fyi haha and it had Sting in it.. I ,like some others here, just think this theory is too simplistic and short sighted as far as video/cinema history goes. No shade, just don’t entirely agree.
When will we get the female equivalent of this
I would argue Zendaya is the female face for this new generation. But as a man I can’t really speak on what females may see as the face for them
@@thejessegrant I think for females it'll be a couple. The compétition's higher for us
Dislike for using too much of “forever” “absolutely” “biggest” etc unnecessary superlatives.
Appreciate the feedback!
I was on the same page as you about him about his impact and his looks but unfortunately the more I see from him it is becoming plainly obvious how overrated his acting is. Hollywood is pushing him to be the next big thing but we’ll see very soon his acting is not up to par.
You are completely right on this. He blew my mind in call me by your name but every movie since I feel like he’s not as good as Hollywood makes him out to be.
He's the current era's Sam Worthington with a little more indie cred. An exotic name and demure chiseled looks are his USP.
Thank you....his acting is decent but it isn't top notch
agreed
I respect your opinion but I think he will grow. That’s what actors do. Also , if you wanna see more of his acting, you can check out his high school plays and miss Stevens. Many legendary directors and actors praise him. I don’t think it’s for nothing. But also they probably do that cause they see potential in him.
nah
Not really
Does timothy changed Hollywood?
Short answer: No
That would of made a good video.
4:15 *sought out. There's no such word as "seeked".
My apologies I can’t believe I said that 😂 especially when I’m a writer and know quite well “seeked” isn’t a word ahahahahaha
Changes Hollywood in its entirety? Huge cultural shift in the society? Like what the hell?Maybe in the U.S., Britain. But here in central asia, russia, nothing is shifted. What is he, new dimension, a fucking sound, a fucking next Game of thrones?
