JAKARTA - Timothatur Chalamet can be called a young actor who is selling well in Hollywood. Behind his success, it turns out that he has experienced rejection in the film industry due to his appearance.

"I've had a life experience. I don't want to say it's strange but I can feel something that (Bob Dylan) is going on," Timothaturchalamet told Zane Lowe in a recent interview.

Bobby wants to be a rock & roll star, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, depending on your point of view, the rock & roll music is integrated and marketed to '50s' children, like that - I also want to be a big actor," he continued.

Chalamet feels there are several types of films that will certainly reject it. Although not specific, he shared his experience of being asked to increase weight because his appearance was deemed inappropriate.

"But if I audition for The Maze Runner or Divergent, that's how it comes. The response will be like 'Oh, you have a less body.'" he said.

"I once had an agent who looked at me and said 'You're getting heavier' is basically not aggressive, but you know," said Chalamet again.

Timothmen Chalamet made his name by starring in an independent film entitled Beautiful Boy with Steve Carell and two Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird and Little Women.

I found a way for a personal film like this. Like Dylan with folk music. The budget is not big but a personal film that starts from a theater. This is the moment when I find rhythm, comfort, groove, whatever you call it, "continued Chalamet.

Starting from being independent, Timothatur Chalamet scored a big number with the films he played like two Dune films from Denis Villeneuve.

Timothmen Chalamet will star in the film A Complete Unknown which tells the story of singer Bob Dylan. In addition, he also prepared the film Josh Safdie, Marty Supreme.
