Timothée on GQ - November 2020

[Simone]

To aid in closing out this horrendous year, surely this GQ coverstory was timed to come out in support of the original release date of Dune in December. But alas, it has been moved, but thank God, not this interview. I can't wait to read it and see all the pics!

This is what we all need now!! Wow, I have no words. Lots of content and news for a day.

I'm "working" my day job right now, but I'm overwhelmed with wanting to discuss key points in Timmy's interview. But one thing I'll put here is this to start the discussion:

Timothée also spent the end of last summer promoting The King, alongside his costar Lily-Rose Depp, whom he'd been dating for about a year. He is serious about keeping his former relationship with Depp to himself, but he did share one very sweet, very funny, very sad anecdote that encapsulates the spectrum of great and terrible that accompanies the private life of someone new to mega-fame like Timothée.

After Venice, he and Lily-Rose took a few days for themselves in Capri, where they were photographed by paparazzi. One image, in particular, circulated in which they were making out on the deck of a boat. Timothée is contorting himself into the kiss and looks a little awkward. Many people had their laughs. And some even suggested that the photo was staged for publicity. “I went to bed that night thinking that was one of the best days of my life,” Timothée told me. “I was on this boat all day with someone I really loved, and closing my eyes, I was like, indisputably, ‘That was great.’ And then waking up to all these pictures, and feeling embarrassed, and looking like a real nob? All pale? And then people are like: This is a P.R. stunt. A P.R. stunt?! Do you think I'd want to look like that in front of all of you?!”

My heart just fell when I was reading this. I just felt so much of his pain and humiliation. I was one of the loudest people who supported him and Lily-Rose with the release of these photos and I saw and supported a gorgeous young couple in love and enjoying private time after a high-profile red carpet event supporting The King at Venice Film Festival.

Here's my receipts of my early and continued support for Timothée and Lily-Rose. I'm so glad he said exactly what he said to make it perfectly clear how he felt about Lily-Rose, and the betrayal of the mockery he received:

Because this is the most gossipy part of his excellent interview, and which will surely be click bait headlines for the very publications that help fan the flames of his humiliation, I want to hear from you, as I will definitely add more of my thoughts later.

I read through the article and have to give credit to author Daniel Riley and GQ magazine for an impressive and thoughtful piece with cool videos and photos.

And of course Timothee Chalamet for being so introspective. I just hope and pray he continues to stay down to earth which it sounds like he is. I admire a lot of other actors too, but I find the fact that Timothee is always thinking about his fans so endearing. He must get anxious a lot. I hope us fans didnt wear him too much out that he kinda needed to do a spiritual nature retreat to recharge his batteries after a whirlwind two years before the pandemic.

And Timothee is so dedicated to his craft that he is very happy on movie sets with all sorts of colleagues. He is really an old soul in a young mans body. I found his encounters with his grandmother totally relatable and human ... reminds me of what the play 4000 Miles may be about with grandmother and grandson.

Just finished reading the interview - damn, that was great. So deep and insightful. I really felt like I got to get into Timothee's head, learn what his thoughts were and how he was thinking. Don't think I have read a more in-depth, insightful interview with him. Can't wait to buy the issue.

I went ahead and ordered this magazine online, I didn't want to deal with any sell-out crap or searching for it.

I'm going to wait until I get the magazine to host the next episode of Conversations so that we can discuss the article in full. And hopefully a few more revelations I noticed in the pictures could become more clear with time. I don't want to speculate too much right now. But I am very excited and giddy. I needed something to alleviate pre-election anxieties.
