Timothee Chalamet is the biggest young actor in the industry right now. he's known for his striking features that resemble old Hollywood icons like James Dean, and his ability to take important roles in grossing films. It's pretty special at 24 years old to have anything with your name attached to it be a guaranteed good movie. Because of this success, he's become one of the richest actors in Hollywood and he's on his way to becoming the richest with new and exciting roles that will reveal more dimensions to the young actor.

Right Now, Chalamet is sitting at a nice and healthy 6 million dollar net worth, which is in the high percentiles for other famous actors at that age. He hasn't seen anything close to a flop yet, and he's climbing at a rapid pace. He's also doing things outside of acting to bump that net worth up, like participating in the fashion world by attending events and modeling various lines for big paychecks. Though the young actor isn't concerned with the money, he's just enjoying life and honing in on his craft for some super big projects that will shape the entirety of his career.

looking at Chalamet now, it's pretty easy to see why he's gotten to where he is in his career, and how he's become the most wanted man in Hollywood. He started at 15 playing Nicholas Clarke in off-Broadway’s, "The Talls". From there, he got little television and small movie roles that built up his credibility and showcased his acting skill. After scoring a role in Nolan's Interstellar, he was on his way to becoming the star we know now. From there, he would make his career with Ladybird, Call Me By Your Name, and Beautiful Boy; even scoring an OSCAR nom for Call Me By Your Name.

Chalamet is already focusing on what's next, and these roles are shaping up to be his most notable yet. He will have his first role in a Wes Anderson movie, as well as a Dune reboot. He might eventually make his way back over to TV, as Courteney Cox said she would pick him as Joey on a Friends reboot if he would be up for it. His biggest role that's coming up is obviously as Bob Dylan in the new biopic, "Going Electric". As a die-hard Dylan fan I think he's a great choice for the role, but God I hope he does the man justice.

It's not easy being the young face of Hollywood, but Timothee Chalamet isn't taking things too seriously and instead simply enjoying his career. He's trying to branch out and take risks in order to solidify his role as an Actor in Hollywood. That can be a dangerous game, but the payoff is severe and that's what every actor and actress wants in Hollywood: to be remembered. 2020 is definitely Chalamet's biggest year yet and he's really trying to evolve into the best possible version of himself, all we can do as fans is go see the evolution for ourselves and deem it worthy (or not).
Celebrity stylist Law Roach is already prepping up outfits for Zendaya for the press tour of DUNE.
“We’re excited for this press tour, because it’ll be Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet — I think the fashion kids are waiting for this one,” said the stylist.
