There really are people who were ``born to be stars.'' When I watch Timothee Chalamet, I can't help but feel that way.

Born in 1995, currently 24 years old. Born to a French father and an American mother, she has appeared in numerous commercials and TV dramas such as ``Law & Order'' since childhood. Chalamet, who was discovered by the world in 2017 with his evergreen masterpiece "Call Me by Your Name," has now grown to be one of the most talented young artists that creators all over the world want to work with.

Not only does she have exceptional looks, such as her beautiful face that looks like a work of art, her melancholy eyes, and her artistic appearance, but she is also known for her ability to express the ``blueness'' of her youth with her entire body. A natural aura that goes beyond technical ``acting'' - the degree of ``assimilation'' with the role is so extraordinary that it gives the audience the illusion that ``that character really exists'' on the other side of the screen.

In other words, Timothée Chalamet, an actor, does not use his "technique" to enter the work, but rather allows the work to follow his "personality." Of course, it goes without saying that he has excellent acting skills, but his overwhelming ``dignity'' outweighs it. This is the mark of a star.

This time, we will be introducing a total of 11 carefully selected films, including films in which Chalamet has appeared so far and films awaiting release.

Recommended movies starring Timothée Chalamet (2014-2016)

1. "Interstellar" (14) Director: Christopher Nolan 169 minutes

It is safe to say that this is Chalamet's first Big budget film. The fact that he was suddenly seen by the rare genius director Christopher Nolan speaks volumes about his outstanding ``acting ability.''

This work depicts the endless adventures of an exploration team formed to find a habitable planet as the destruction of the Earth approaches. Chalamet plays Tom, the son of pilot Joseph (Matthew McConaughey). Although he has an air of maturity, he is still a young boy, and the way he watches his father leave with a complicated expression is heartbreaking.

He does not shy away from Oscar-winning actor McConaughey and gives a dignified performance, giving us a sense of what he will do in the future (Casey Affleck plays the grown-up Tom in the movie).

However, it took several years for Chalamet to make his next big leap forward. During that time, he auditioned for the role of Spider-Man in ``Captain America: Civil War'' (16) and failed in the audition for ``Manchester by the Sea'' (16). That's pretty amazing though).

Surprisingly, his career, which could never be described as smooth sailing, may have been an event that deepened his ``taste'' of acting.

2. “My Beautiful Days” (16) Director: Julia Hart 87 minutes

An excellent work that allows you to enjoy Chalamet's high level of expressiveness. He plays the role of a high school boy with a behavioral disorder and vividly portrays a man who has a faint crush on an older woman who is an advisor to the drama club.

The story is set in the style of a road movie about three club members and their advisor who set out by car to participate in a theater competition, and although it is not flashy, it has a solid structure that carefully captures the subtleties of emotion. The contrasting structure in which a teacher who is lost in life is rescued by a pure student who does not know the bitterness of life is simple but beautiful.

In the highlight scene of Chalamet in the second half, he takes on the challenge of performing a one-man show on stage. He brilliantly handles the highly difficult role of becoming the character in the play and then acting in an innocent manner.
