How are you... I'll try to do the whole thing in french this time I would hope so! All in french! You have a monitor? No, I've got nothing Nothing at all? Nothing at all. No monitor no nothing Yep, we're doing this in french It went great last time It was good but Armie was here last time Yes but he spoke english! He spoke english so I spoke a bit of both But that's perfect Ok I'll try this time I'll try to do the whole thing in french this time We'll see He was here not too long ago Armie? For his movie On the Basis of Sex Exactly With Felicity? No he was alone He was alone? Yes he was alone In french this time? What? (Timothée repeats himself) No, no... It was in english He's very american He is very american and he left you a message, look Really? Thank you Armie How are you? I'm great, thank you for having me and... thank you When did you land in Paris? I got here today, but I was there yesterday as well, it's a little... When are you going back? I'm leaving monday You're staying three days? I'm staying three days yes, there was a ''défilé'' (show) yesterday, is that how you say it? We'll talk more about the show later Ok, and... huh... Yeah it went well Since the last time you came here you became an international star, how did you experience Call Me by Your Name's success, your new status...? (the interviewer translates in a comedic way) It's, it's... really it's... I have a lot of ''gratitude'', can you say that in french? (yes) And really I always wanted to be an actor or to be in movies so... To have the opportunity of working, working often, To be able to pay my... Your rent? My rent!... ... It's nice And being a celebrity? It's... The transformation? I can imagine that in two years, it exploded Yes... Yes and no And... There are moments where... I felt that it was changing, in a way But other times I feel... (interviewer: the same?) I got kicked out of a restaurant in LA last week What? Why? It was a place for ''members'' only, I didn't know, but huh... They really kicked me out And you didn't say: ''Hey! But I am Timothée Chalamet!'' No but it's nothing! (translates) You stayed modest? Nobody told you that your success got to your head No... I have no confidence No... Yeah, no Today, there are ''chalamaniacs'', some of them consider you a work of art You saw that? Yes I saw... Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, for instance The Kiss by Gustav Klimt... you're up there... The Birth of Venus by Botticelli American Gothic... very well done... by Grant Wood The Scream by Munch Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-Auguste Renoir... you're to the right Boy with a Basket of Fruit by Caravaggio How does it make you feel? Me? (yes) It feels... very strange And... Did it ever happen to you? Getting photoshopped onto something? Yes And... What do you think? Huh... It's pretty Yes it's pretty! Because you're handsome! Do you ever stumble upon one and think: ''Ah! This has gone too far!'' No because it's weird, it's funny, it's... If someone had told me about it when I was twelve, or even sixteen, or eighteen, nineteen... I would have laughed This is what I want to do with my life so... For a moment I can and I hope I can do it for a long time, you never know Your new movie is called Beautiful Boy and it stars yourself and Steve Carell You're playing Nic Sheff (S-H-E-F-F) Steve Carell plays your father, David Sheff It's a true story, can you give us a summary? In summary, it's about a father and his son living in San Francisco And the son seems to have a pretty ''normal'' life... He's bourgeois? (middleclass) Huh, I don't know, in the middle... Wealthy? It's not an important detail in the movie - his ''privilege'', like you'd say in english - and... He becomes a victim of drugs But I think an important aspect of the movie is that it's not from the son's point of view Because we already have movies from that perspective It's more from the point of view of (interviewer: his father?) ... his father And, I don't know the numbers in France But in the United States right now, it's a huge problem Addiction is the biggest killer in the United States And I don't know if it's the same case in France, but people my age in the US... We've done reports of what's going on in the US, yes Yes, and really it's everywhere The worst part is that there is no dialogue... There is no dialogue about a ''fix'', at my age it's still a dialogue about... How do you say ''martyre'' in french? Martyre Yes, it's... It's ''cool'' to... destroy yourself It's nothing new, in the 60s we were already saying ''you're young!'' But... You live with the consequences? Yes, you live with the consequences, but compared to the 60s... Now it's become a very hard drug That's what I was going to say It's meth Yes, and in the 60s-70s, I wasn't there but, I understand that drugs were not as strong And drugs like LSD, marijuana... That were supposed to ''open your imagination'' Now they're opiates They shut down your imagination You could be on a boat, you could be in horrible conditions... But if you take these drugs, it... It shuts you out It shuts you out, and it's not a coincidence, because it's 2019 It's a very bizarre time, especially in the US And... And a little ''fix'', a little something you can do, to help is to have this dialogue without trying to find a moral (uses the word incorrectly) (interviewer helps him out) Yes, it's a... Because when someone becomes an addict It's not because they were weak Myself, I maybe had this false stereotype that being addicted is To have a big party for a year, two years, three years... But reality is There is a lot of pain in this world And there aren't a lot of solutions, and you can fall victim to that People that fell are not proud of it It's very difficult to recover Especially at nineteen, twenty, it's almost impossible And your character, the ''hero'' (?), has everything to be happy That's why the the father doesn't get it - doesn't understand, sorry... He doesn't understand, and also... I don't want to... I want people to go see the movie, so... I don't wanna say everything, but the father... There's maybe a question about ego as well By asking himself : What can I do for my son? What did I do wrong? How can I heal him? And it's one of the teachings of the movie Once you fell Why you fell is not as important As the fact that you've fallen, it's reality (translates) We have to find a solution, and we need... Love? Does it apply to family as well, in french? Yes Ok, we need love from those who love you, Those who support you, and... And if someone deals with this in real life You have to protect yourself But also, you... (translates) Yes, you have to... (some other synonym) (agrees) The characters you play are... real? They're still alive? They're real, Nic is still alive Now ''sober'', how do you say ''sober'' in french? ''Sobre'' (sober) Sober, he's been sober for eight years now We see them here Yes, Nic is on the side, and Steve Carell is next to David, who's the father And... And in the movie there are So there's four times where Nic is... Tries to be sober and falls And in real life he had thirteen Thirteen in seven years He wrote the book and had a ''relapse'' while doing the promotion for the book Now he's fine, now he's alive, he's here... And... (translates) Because... When he's there, just by being there and healthy, for those who were addicts... It's an example It's an example of someone who got through it And it shows that you can have a life after recovery You can be... You can earn money and get girlfriends (plural mistake)... A girlfriend (corrects to singular)... Let's look at the trailer It's called Beautiful Boy and it comes out on February the 6th, here, in France Beautiful Boy comes out in cinemas on February the 6th When are the Oscar Nominations? This tuesday I think? It's this week I think About your character A drug addict goes through many different phases Getting stoned... Falling... Craving... Shame... Anger... Depression... When you shut yourself out... Facial tics... The jaw... Tears... Euphoria... What was the toughest to portray? It was the fact that it's someone who is real, and... Not a specific scene Not a detail either, but the fact that Nic is... Is a man, who's alive And even besides drugs and addiction This is their lives, their family But technically? (mumbling) How do you portray a drug addict? - All those emotions?
- Well, well... That's the pressure of being an actor, being twenty, twenty-one, I told myself... What's the... What must I learn? And that was the lesson Drugs or addiction, for me... It wasn't that I was going to play an addict It was that I was going to play someone who's human That is(/was) addicted to drugs When I met Nic there was nothing about him that was... There were no visible signs? There were no visible signs, like his father described in the book He is... He has a great sense of humor, he's... Except when you met him he was ''clean'' He was ''clean'', yes, but... That's what David says in his book There are two characters : the ''sober'', the ''using''... And that's also something that the movie tries to tackle It's the complexity of someone who can be a good son, a good brother... Loving, kind... But also who... Who... (translates) Who can cheat, who can lie... And what does this mean? Does it mean that we can't love the people in our lives? Or... Or that we should... Understand that humanity is complex, it's not easy We aren't... ''whole'', as humans We all have... I didn't get that How do you say? Spots! We all have spots... (not sure what he's trying to say) Not you, but... Yes, and... And makeup You're staying with us? Yes, please... We're going to listen to your playlist later Yes! The playlist!

Kid Cudi, who I'm a big fan of He's associated with all these guys And... It's awesome, his clothing is awesome And you wore it at the Golden Globes Yes Here we can see... We talked a lot about this ''harness'' There were big debates on social media ''Did he need the harness?'' ''He had a harness?'' ''What the hell is this harness?'' I thought it was a ''bib'' What's a ''bib''? A ''bib'' in english is... Yeah, it's... When you eat, when you're little... (Ah! I see!) (translates ''bib'')? (confirms) We told me it was a bib But after that I saw on the Internet... Things, like, huh... Sex, dungeons... Marc loves it Yes It wouldn't fit me as good And when... When you saw it, when you tried it on... ? When they gave it to you, you thought : ''Ok!
