He was selected to play the main character's son in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014), and was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Call Me by Your Name (17). Suddenly, he became a man of his time.

Since then, his films have been released in Japan one after another, including `` Lady Bird '' (17), ``Secret Children '' (15), and `` Beautiful Boy '' (18). After a lot of back and forth, it was ``Hot Summer Nights'' (17) that was finally released.
