Timothee Chalamet shares that Leonardo DiCaprio 'roasted' him over text

Timothe Chalamet recently revealed a funny text he received from Leonardo DiCaprio regarding his latest haircut. The 29-year-old actor recited DiCaprios message during a promotional segment for Lucid Motors Lucid Air Sapphire sedan, where he also conducted a lively interview with New York Knicks players Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.

When asked by Hart to name the most surprising person who had sent him an unexpected text, Chalamet immediately mentioned DiCaprio. [DiCaprio] fried me today. He said, I heard they shaved your head. Say it ain't so, Chalamet recalled. Hart quickly reassured him, adding, Youre good though. Youre rocking it.

Chalamet debuted his shaved head in October during an Instagram livestream promoting his new film, Marty Supreme, where he portrays professional table tennis player Marty Mauser. In the livestream, Chalamet was inside a transparent box filled with orange ping pong balls as he removed a headpiece, revealing his buzz cut. Prior to this, he had been photographed filming in New York City with the same haircut, wearing a blue cap, jeans, and a sweatshirt.

The friendship between Chalamet and DiCaprio began on the set of their 2021 film, Dont Look Up. Chalamet has previously shared career advice from DiCaprio, mentioning to British Vogue in 2022: No hard drugs and no superhero movies. In an earlier interview with Time, he referenced similar guidance from a mentor he could not name, saying it came from one of my heroes who gave him advice on the first night they met.

Chalamets new film, Marty Supreme, is scheduled for release in theaters on Christmas Day. Directed by Josh Safdie, the movie has already received high praise. Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent awarded it four stars, noting Chalamets energetic and intense performance reminiscent of early Al Pacino. Loughrey highlighted the actors ability to convey vulnerability through subtle details in his expression and movement.

She also remarked on Chalamets public reflections on success, suggesting that his connection to the character of Marty allows him to explore more delicate and sympathetic emotions on screen.
