Timothée Chalamet Shares Tom Cruise's Post-'Dune' Advice

• celebrities

In a candid revelation, Timothée Chalamet opened up about the powerful guidance he received from none other than Hollywood heavyweight, Tom Cruise, following the mammoth success of "Dune." When Chalamet graced the glossy pages of British GQ Magazine's November issue, he enthralled readers with an inside look into his burgeoning relationship with Cruise.

Notably, Cruise, a stalwart of the iconic Mission: Impossible franchise, emphasized the significance of stunts in an actor's repertoire, which was a pivotal perspective for the "Dune" protagonist. In a time when Chalamet was still basking in the accolades from "Dune," he received an insightful email from Cruise.

The missive wasn't just words of praise or generic advice. It was a pragmatic roadmap for a young actor looking to elevate his craft. Cruise not only nudged Chalamet towards stunt training but generously appended a curated list of accomplished stunt trainers, even spanning specialties like motorcycle and helicopter maneuvering.

Chalamet's Insights from Cruise

Reflecting on this career-altering advice, Chalamet recalled, “The essence of Tom's message was reminiscent of Old Hollywood - a time when dance and combat training were actor essentials.

Though modern cinema may have shed those rigorous standards, Tom's directive was clear: 'Forge your own path.' His words weren't just counsel; they were a clarion call”. Apart from discussing Cruise's mentorship, Chalamet couldn't help but express his awe for "Top Gun: Maverick." So profound was his admiration that he watched the aviation epic eight times, once even hosting a private screening for his cast and crew, proclaiming, “It stands as one of the most masterful cinematic experiences I've ever encountered”.

On a personal note, the interview touched upon Chalamet's blossoming relationship with Kylie Jenner, the glamour queen from "The Kardashians" dynasty. Film enthusiasts, however, are keenly awaiting his portrayal of the iconic Willy Wonka in the upcoming prequel "Wonka," set to dazzle theaters this December.
