Timothee Chalamet stars in the new sports drama<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old actor plays a table tennis player in the new sports drama movie, and Timothee has revealed that he spent years trying to master the sport before filming began.<\/p>\n
He told the BBC: “I got approached with this project in 2018. So that basically gave me six, seven years to prepare on and off. In all my downtime, I would train as much as possible.”<\/p>\n
Timothee actually compared his role in the new film to playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, the 2024 biographical film about the music icon’s early career.<\/p>\n
The actor – who covered various Dylan songs for the hit movie – explained: “I think the responsibility in this movie, like in the Bob Dylan movie, if you were a Dylan fan or a guitar player, [is to make sure] that that looks real to you on screen. Similarly here, if you’re a ping-pong aficionado, that that looks believable to you.”<\/p>\n
\nTimothee actually practised his table tennis skills while he was shooting other movies.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “Certainly, by the time the French Dispatch was coming out [in 2021], I have a video – at risk of being unrelatable, I was in a beautiful Airbnb on a cliffside for the Cannes Film Festival. And I had a table with me. So I have a video of training with friends. It’s like a gorgeous sunset.”<\/p>\n
\nTimothee has enjoyed huge successes in recent years, and he feels fortunate for the opportunities that continue to come his way.<\/p>\n
\nThe movie star shared: “I get to live this awesome life where I work on these projects that actually are near and dear to my heart. A lot of actors don’t get the chance to work, let alone work on things they actually are passionate about.<\/p>\n
\n“There’s worse things in life than having to learn how to play the guitar and play table tennis at a high level.”<\/p>\n
