Timothée Chalamet on advice he got from Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio has taken Hollywood It boy Timothée Chalamet under his wing, lending him some practical – and PG-rated – career advice: “No hard drugs and no superhero movies.” 

Chalamet, 26, shared the cheeky advice from his 47-year-old “Don’t Look Up” co-star with British Vogue on Thursday. The wholesome wisdom from party boy DiCaprio, who was most recently spotted having a bros night out on Tuesday after being seen with potential new love interest Gigi Hadid this week, Page Six reported, is on target. The “Revenant” Oscar winner has been notoriously choosy about his film roles. 

Chalamet, who earned an Oscar nomination for his lead role in 2017 romance drama “Call Me by Your Name,” is charting his own career success, catapulting into a fan favorite and fashion star, becoming the first man to ever appear alone on the print cover of British Vogue. 

Fame has been occasionally challenging for Chalamet, a New Yorker who got his start as a teen appearing in the drama series “Homeland” in 2012 and transitioning to film with “Men, Women & Children” and “Interstellar.”  

“I had a delusional dream in my early teenage years to have, in my late teenage years, an acting career,” he told British Vogue, explaining that the pandemic humbled him and perhaps made him feel unprepared for adulthood. 

“I should have been trying to get my adult feet under myself a little bit earlier than I did,” he told the magazine. “I found myself having to really, you know, be honest with myself that where I’ve been able to get myself to in life was balls to the wall, like throwing everything at [it] at a young age that, by some miracle, got me to where I am.”

Off the big screen, Chalamet has cemented himself as a fashion force with headline-grabbing looks such as sequin hoodies and a backless halter top. Notably, Chalamet has yet to officially partner with a designer for a fashion campaign. It seems that, like DiCaprio, he’s being quite strategic about the business deals he agrees to.

“When [success] came my way, I felt very particular that I didn’t want people — and I really didn’t want to see myself — cashing in,” he told British Vogue.
