Timothée Chalamet Names His Acting GOATs and Shares DiCaprio’s Quip About His Shaved Head

The viral clip revived unconfirmed chatter that his buzz cut is for Dune: Part 3.

Overview

  • In a Lucid Motors speed-round, he called Denzel Washington the GOAT, Christian Bale the “second GOAT,” and Joaquin Phoenix the “strange GOAT.”
  • He said the best person to text him is Leonardo DiCaprio, who messaged, “I heard you shaved your head. Say it ain’t so.”
  • He has cited DiCaprio’s guidance — “no hard drugs and no superhero movies” — yet has said he would consider a superhero role for an exceptional script and director.
  • He picked Heath Ledger’s Joker as the greatest movie villain and has long credited The Dark Knight with sparking his desire to act.
  • Outlets have linked the shaved head to a possible return as Paul Atreides in Dune: Part 3, though the reason for the haircut has not been confirmed.
