Timothée Chalamet ‘Puts His Foot Down’ on This Nickname (Exclusive)

Well, the wait is finally over for all the Dune stands. The sequel is in theaters now. And I spoke to the star-studded cast and got a little lesson in pronunciation, too. So it is Timotei. It's supposed to be, but I would never hold anyone to that. I just want to make sure. I don't want to be out here, like, calling somebody the wrong name. But if you have that respect for me, you've got to be calling him Austine. Austine. That's correct, Austine. My guy, Austine. Because the dot above the I. The two dots. What do people call you? Do they call you Tim, or do they? No, Tim's the one right down there. You put your foot down there. I put my foot down there. Another mistake I made once. Yeah. No, I'm kidding. We think Mr. Chalamet has earned whatever he wants to be called, because he's on the path to being leader of an entire planet in Dune Part 2 in theaters now. Standing in his way, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, and a nearly unrecognizable Austin Butler. Yeah, so it's three hours in the hair and makeup chair. And it started at about five, because it's really meticulous. And they attached the catholic right above my eyelids. So you've got to be really, you can't be a millimeter off, because you can't open your eye. The first time that I saw it, I didn't see myself. And that's the greatest gift that you can have. Yeah, licking the knife. Was that actually in the script, or were you like, let me just put a little sauce on it? No, that wasn't in the script. See? It was just Austin being Austin. That's just me. I mean, how long did it take to transform? It took five people eight hours to transform me into that fat man. When I had a, when I was naked. Uh-huh. So it was full body. Like, imagine just the simple challenges of having to use a bathroom. That's the question I should have asked him. How did that happen? We all want to know, but we're too respectful to ask.
