Timothée Chalamet and Shia LaBeouf Are Email Pen Pals

by

It’s interesting to observe that Shia LaBeouf and Timothée Chalamet share many similarities. They both made their mark in the entertainment world at a young age, displaying a unique, intense, and dramatic style. Additionally, they both have French surnames. As you may recall, LaBeouf paid attention to Chalamet during his widely publicized press tour for “A Complete Unknown,” which reached its peak with his SAG acceptance speech where he expressed his aspiration to be one of the greats. When asked by The Hollywood Reporter about this, LaBeouf said, “I can relate to that sentiment. On him, it’s endearing; on me, it wasn’t.

The significance of the context is crucial when interpreting remarks about Chalamet, made following LaBeouf’s discussion on how embracing Catholicism helped him combat his ego and insecurity. While critics might perceive Chalamet’s ambition as absurd or comical, LaBeouf’s somber demeanor suggests a more troubling backstory. However, it is essential to note that LaBeouf was not disparaging industry darling Chalamet with his remarks. If any criticism was aimed by LaBeouf, it was directed at himself: he acknowledges that he’s not particularly skilled in winning people over. Before rumors about LaBeouf’s comments regarding Chalamet caused a stir, he shared a screenshot of an email correspondence between them from late 2023.

In an email exchange, Chalamet praises LaBeouf for his electrifying performance in the stage adaptation of Henry Johnson, while LaBeouf reciprocates by complimenting Chalamet’s exceptional work. The emails reveal Chalamet as a supportive and enthusiastic individual, often using double exclamation points, and LaBeouf as someone who occasionally uses affectionate terms like “doggy” in his messages. Unfortunately, the stage production of Henry Johnson did not move to New York after its Los Angeles run; however, the film is currently available for rental online.

LaBeouf’s life story, as depicted partially in his semi-autobiographical movie Honey Boy, has been marked by significant challenges. His former partner, FKA Twigs, accused him of sexual assault, battery, and emotional distress, which he denies. Despite crediting actors Sean Penn, Mel Gibson, and Josh Brolin for aiding in his recent recovery, LaBeouf has expressed concerns about being blacklisted from the industry. Chalamet’s email reflects warmth and support, but it does not signal mainstream acceptance of LaBeouf amidst his personal struggles.

In what’s happening currently, has Chalamet voiced his opinion? Absolutely not! Haven’t you heard that the New York Knicks are in the playoffs at the moment? Instead of attending the Met Gala, the actor opted to watch his favorite team play, and last night he was seen courtside with his new official girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. Chalamet is known for frequently acknowledging his idols, making him a frequent name-dropper and fanboy. Perhaps there could be a meeting between Chalamet and LaBeouf in the near future for a guys’ night out. If not, it’s safe to say that Chalamet would be more entertaining to spend time with than Sean Penn.
