Actor Shia LaBeouf has made a parallel between himself and Timothée Chalamet.
In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Shia LaBeouf talks about his career aspirations and how they stack up against those of Timothée Chalamet. Both actors share a desire for greatness, with LaBeouf likening them both to aspiring thespians. However, LaBeouf notes an interesting difference: the public finds Chalamet more charming.
During the interview, LaBeouf references Chalamet's acceptance speech at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where he declared his ambition to be great. In LaBeouf's words, "Chalamet's 'cute' demeanor makes him endearing, while I haven't always struck the same chord with the public."
Comparing their career trajectories, LaBeouf started early with roles in TV series like "Even Stevens" and movies like "Transformers". His career, however, has had its fair share of controversies and public struggles, which have sometimes overshadowed his achievements. In contrast, Chalamet rose to fame with critical hits like "Call Me By Your Name" and "Lady Bird", maintaining a generally positive public image and earning industry recognition.
LaBeouf recently opened up about past confrontations, particularly a disagreement with Alec Baldwin when they were to share the stage in an early 2010s production of "Orphans". He dropped out due to creative differences. Meanwhile, Chalamet, currently dating Kylie Jenner, made a red carpet debut at the David Di Donatello Awards. Rumors of an engagement have been swirling around the couple, with Kylie Cosmetics' founder sporting a unique kind of earring that some believe signals an upcoming marriage proposal.
Despite their differences, both actors are driven by the same ambition to be legendary actors. Whether this ambition translates into career success remains to be seen, but for now, it seems the public is rooting for both Shia LaBeouf and Timothée Chalamet.
