Timothée Chalamet on Christopher Nolan
por Freddenver: Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet names Christopher Nolan his favorite director, noting that The Dark Knight made him want to act while Inception inspired him. He recalls reading the Interstellar script and thinking it would change the world, especially since Nolan was coming off an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club during production. Chalamet learned from both Nolan and his co-star, describing how the team took the work extremely seriously with a sense of walking on sacred ground. He calls Nolan a general and taskmaster who is the first up the hill in the morning and the last down at the end of the day. Even when Nolan didn't know the rules of time travel or concepts immediately, he would return later with an answer.

What I learned from Nolan was, shit man, Nolan is my favorite director to this day, you know, and The Dark Knight made me want to act. Inception inspired me. When I read the script to Interstellar, I thought it was going to change the world. And when I knew you were working on it, you were just coming off your Oscar for Dallas Byers Club. It was as much I learned from him as I learned from you. It goes back to the first thing I said. You guys took the work extremely seriously. And I got a sense from you, too, that you felt like you were walking on sacred ground or something. I feel like you were in a part of your career where you're like, this is sacred now. I don't want to treat this as anything other than sacred. And it was just so inspiring. It was hard to go back to college after that. I bet so. Yeah. Yeah, no, I remember, you know, one thing about Nolan was, and he's a wonderful, like a general and taskmaster, but he's the first up the hill in the morning and the last down the hill at the end of the day, every single day. What was your experience like with him? Look, he had written this world and these concepts and the rules of this world, time travel and how it's different, different places, different frequencies. So I would go to him, you know, to ask him the rules sometimes. And sometimes he'd give me an answer and sometimes he'd go like, I don't know, let me get back to you. And he'd always come back like a week later or something, I thought about that question yet.
