Timothée Chalamet recently recalled how he was urged to wear a certain outfit to his first film premiere for fear of ruining his career.
Vogues December’s cover story was published on Thursday, November 6, with the 29-year-old American-French actor reminiscing about the early days of his career as his inner circle tried to stop him from making a huge mistake by wearing an outfit of his choice to his first movie premiere.
For those unaware, Chalamet, who played Elio Perlman in the Luca Guadagnino 2017 film, call me by your name was set to be screened at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Before the premiere, Haider Ackermann and the Oscar-nominated star crossed paths, and he noticed the French fashion designer in a pink Berluti trench coat, which caught his eye.
In his interview, Chalamet thought of seeing Ackermann in “this big raincoat, and I was like, ‘Oh, boom. That’s what I’m wearing;'” but his publicist completely dismissed his idea.
The publicist said: “It was like, ‘You’re not even getting off the ground! You’re going to ruin what you’re doing before you get going’.”
“I had to wear the pink jacket,” the Dune star indicated.
It is pertinent to mention that Chalamet wore the pink Berluti trench coat over a black suit with a black sweater and black leather boots at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2017.
