Timothée Chalamet

So he's a famous dialect coach. I've never looked him up before. Yeah. Tim Monick.

Yeah, there I am with him, and I got in trouble anyway. Oh, you did?

I got in trouble because the strike had just hit, and I was just hanging out with him, and I didn't really get in trouble. People thought I was a scab, and I was working with him. Oh, yeah. Crossing lisp lines or whatever. You're right, dude. You're right. You're right.

That's the only union where you'd be crossing the picket line by working on your tongue. Yeah, that's crazy. No, I'm serious. It was a real thing, dude. Oh, yeah.

Stop working on the accent. How dare you learn Spanish? Yeah, exactly. That's crazy. Wow. Man, next time I'll call you. Because actually, when you put it like that, it's like, what are you supposed to do? And I wasn't working with him. I was hanging out. We went to a shitty, super shitty. It's bleak, man.

The way Bob Dylan, when he came up, there was all these cafes in downtown New York and the music. And now I was trying to find the folk scene in modern-day Manhattan. It was brutal. Oh, I think in Manhattan, probably. Maybe, like, somewhere in the village, probably, right? Yeah, but it was brutal. It's still rough.

I mean, I went to Cafe Wah, where Bob Dylan came up, and it's just, like, Aerosmith covers now. So some guy goes, Dream on!

I never got the chance to meet him. Not yet at all? Oh, he's super reclusive, yeah. He's elusive and reclusive. He's that reclusive? Yeah, I don't know if he'll ever see the movie. Yeah. He did this X-Post, I've been taught to say. It's not Tweet anymore, I guess. Fucking X-Post. But he did it like three days ago, you know. And that was more than... He...

No, nothing. I never got the chance to talk to him. I like that you pointed out the Timmy. I tried, you know, when I was 19, 20, I was, you know, I was evolving into Timothy. You said some letters. Exactly. Add some letters. Add some letters from Timmy to Timothy. Yeah, I thought you were going Tim. Sorry. Tim would be, you know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I said, 40s, 50s, couple ex-wives. Then you go Tim. Then you go Tim. You know, I'm like mowing my lawn all day. Yeah, hey, Tim. Exactly.

Missed a spot. You're like, oh, there's a bird's nest there. Calm down. Sort of a disgruntled expression on my face watching my kids' sports games because they're not playing to the level.

How many swim meets? You go to Lipscomb College swim meets? I mean, I don't go to that. I've been aside. Yeah, be careful, dude. Yeah, I do.

So it's normal. It's totally normal. So the fact you've been doing it since your early 20s means that, you know.

I've got a grandfathered aunt. Your grandfathered aunt.

He's an artist. He's an artist. And this show happened, you know, this show sprouted in this period of you doing that. So how can you fault the process?

I don't know. I've never been to a swim meet. You know, that's a very non... You know, like there's four pools in New York City. Oh, yeah.

We don't have swim meets, but we have...

No, I'm kidding. But, you know, I was talking about this the other day. Like, my high school, they wouldn't let us out for lunch. Would they let you out for lunch or no? Oh, yeah. You could do whatever you wanted at lunch. They didn't let us out. I feel like my skin tone from when I went into high school, by the time I got out, I looked sickly. I haven't recovered.

I heard you're a big play guy. Really? No. Oh, thanks. I was like, God, I don't want that going around. Hey, man, listen, that's the subversive. No one would expect it. That's very low key, dude. Is there theater in Nashville?

Yeah, Outsiders. I went to the high school, it was the opposite. The drama kids were the... Oh, the cool kids. Yeah, and the basketball kids were like... No. There was like four of them. Bro, that's got to be interesting because a lot of people don't get that opportunity.
