Timothy Chalamet: "I think societal collapse is in the air"
Being a person existing in the world in 2022 is not an easy thing. And Timothée Chalamet, as one of the humans trying their best to exist rn, knows that social media is part of what makes that endeavor so damn hard.
"To be young now, and to be young whenever—I can only speak for my generation—is to be intensely judged," Timothée said during a press conference for his new film, Bones and All, at the Venice Film Festival (per E! News). "I can't imagine what it is to grow up without the onslaught of social media, and it was a relief to play characters who are wrestling with an internal dilemma absent the ability to go on Reddit, or Twitter, Instagram or TikTok and figure out where they fit in."
While he acknowledged that social media *can* have positive effects, Timothée did not hold back about the fact that social media is a big part of what makes existing in the world a very tough thing in 2022. Oh, and he also hinted that he thinks the complete breakdown of society as we know it could be nigh. Sooooo there's THAT.
"Without casting judgment on that, you can find your tribe there, but I think it's tough to be alive now," Timothée added. "I think societal collapse is in the air—or it smells like it—and, without being pretentious, that's why hopefully movies matter, because that's the role of the artist… to shine a light on what's going on."
So, to recap: 1.) Being alive in the modern world is difficult nightmare. 2.) Social media is part of what makes being alive in the modern world such a difficult damn nightmare. Oh annnnd 3.) Timothée Chalamet thinks society might collapse any day now.
Oof. But also, same, Timothée. Same.

He's right.
Tim is a smart guy, and a lot of people don't give him enough credit.

Timothee is suffering too much 😢😢😢. Only children in 3rd world countries who are suffering physical, mental & sexual abuses, hunger, diseases, wars, etc. can only understand the pain a very wealthy privileged white make is going through. I pray for you, Timmy

Yes, I can see now why he keeps such a low profile on social media and lets his work speak for itself.

I actually like Timmy a lot, but seriously, this whole "let's blame social media for everything" is actually a very tired, and more so lazy, argument. These kids think a world without it all would be so much better...watch, they wouldn't be able to last one week, let alone one day, without all their horrible, burdensome modern conveniences. Let alone most of their careers and the maintenance of their image as public figures would be on life support without it all.

As general propositions, true and true. But in any era Chalamet's sort of behavior and posing would draw ridicule.

But Timmy as a straight white man would have been better of couple of decades ago.

We are at some sort of crossroads when banal and very actresses such as yourself Tim-o-tee can be consistently put up for roles, while beautiful and supremely talented performers can't even score a first break.

What is this fucking moron complaining about? He's a talentless rat whose career and success was bought by his mom, aunt, and/or uncle. By the way, young people aren't the only ones suffering TimoTay.

According to the reviews coming out of Venice, Timmy and Taylor do not have a sex scene. However, there is an extended shot of Lee, Timmy's character, pleasuring a male victim. Hmm...

He isn't all that young anymore either--26. Too old for teenage angst. Time to grow up Timmy.
