Timothée Chalamet is opening up about what really happens at award ceremonies when he’s had an acceptance speech prepared but didn’t win.
The actor recently appeared on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up to promote his upcoming film A Complete Unknown, which has given Chalamet Oscar buzz for his portrayal of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. When co-host Nicole Ryan asked Chalamet if he writes an acceptance speech ahead of time for award shows or wings it when he gets called up on stage, the actor had a comical take.
“What a great question ’cause like you said, this is my fourth Golden Globe nomination,” he said. “Look, I’ll just say this … there’s nothing more uniquely hilarious and something you cannot share with anyone when you get home and you tear up the little thing that you never had to use and you think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick. On what planet did you think you were gonna use this?'”
Amid his buzzworthy role as Bob Dylan in the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, Chalamet received a Golden Globe nomination in the best performance by a male actor in a drama category. The nomination marked his fourth after previously receiving noms for Call Me by Your Name (which also earned him an Oscar nomination), Beautiful Boy and Wonka.
In his Hollywood Reporter cover story, Chalamet opened up about his commitment to playing Dylan, where he learned how to play guitar and sing.
“It’s the furthest I’ve stretched myself. And it became so biblical to me in terms of this man’s life and his work that I felt if I let my focus err for a second, that I’d be self-loathing about it for years to come,” he said. “I had three months to play Bob Dylan and the rest of my life I don’t get to be about that, so why not give it my all?”
A Complete Unknown hits theaters on Dec. 25.
