The Best Audition Steve Carell Has Ever Seen Was By…

Actor Timothée Chalamet has earned a reputation as one of the most talented young actors working today following his Oscar-nominated turn in Call Me By Your Name.

His Beautiful Boy costar Steve Carell believes that praise is well-deserved and thinks that Timothée’s audition is literally the best he’s ever seen.

But once Timothée landed the Beautiful Boy role his work really began.

He dropped 20 pounds to play an addict and immersed himself in the life of the real person his character is based on to pick up his mannerisms and emotions.

The end result is an incredibly powerful performance in an equally powerful film.

Beautiful Boy is out now.
