Chalamet is bilingual in English and French,^[a][14] and holds dual United States and French citizenship, due to his French father.^[15] Growing up, Chalamet spent summers in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon,^[16] a small French village two hours away from Lyon, at the home of his paternal grandparents. He stated that his time in France led to cross-cultural identity issues.^[17][18]
Chalamet attended PS 87 William T. Sherman School for elementary school, and later the selective Delta program at MS 54 Booker T. Washington Middle School, which he described as miserable due to the lack of a creative outlet within the school’s academically rigorous environment.^[19] Heath Ledger’s performance in The Dark Knight (2008) inspired him to establish a career in acting.^[20] He applied to Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. His acceptance into the school was a turning point in his appreciation for acting.^[21] Harry Shifman, his sophomore-year drama teacher at LaGuardia,^[22] was so impressed by his audition that he insisted on Chalamet’s acceptance into the school even though he had been rejected in the interview (due to his middle school record),^[23] saying «I gave him the highest score I’ve ever given a kid auditioning.»^[24] During high school, Chalamet dated Madonna’s daughter Lourdes («Lola») Leon, a fellow student, for a year.^[4] He starred in school musicals as Emcee in Cabaret and Oscar Lindquist in Sweet Charity, graduating in 2013.^[25][26] He is also a YoungArts alumnus.^[27]

The following year, Chalamet starred in Woody Allen’s romantic comedy A Rainy Day in New York.^[80] The Me Too movement prompted a resurgence of the 1992 sexual abuse allegation against Allen. Chalamet said he was unable to answer questions about working with Allen due to his contractual obligations; the Huffington Post obtained a copy of Chalamet’s contract which disputed this.^[81] Chalamet donated his salary to the charities Time’s Up, LGBT Center of New York, and RAINN,^[82][83][84] and did not promote the film.^[85] Allen claimed in his 2020 memoir Apropos of Nothing that Chalamet told Allen’s sister Letty Aronson that he only denounced him in an attempt to improve his chances of winning an Academy Award for Call Me by Your Name.^[86] Chalamet next portrayed Henry V of England, a young prince who unwittingly ascends the English Throne, in David Michôd’s Netflix period drama The King, based on several plays from Shakespeare’s Henriad.^[87][88] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair wrote, «Chalamet does robust work, straightening his lanky posture as he goes, rising up into the role like a man ascendant».^[89] In his third film release of 2019, Chalamet portrayed Theodore «Laurie» Laurence, a lovestruck teenager, in Little Women, an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel of the same name.

He stated that his time in France led to cross-cultural identity issues.^[17][18]
Chalamet attended PS 87 William T. Sherman School for elementary school, and later the selective Delta program at MS 54 Booker T. Washington Middle School, which he described as miserable due to the lack of a creative outlet within the school’s academically rigorous environment.^[19] Heath Ledger’s performance in The Dark Knight (2008) inspired him to establish a career in acting.^[20] He applied to Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. His acceptance into the school was a turning point in his appreciation for acting.^[21] Harry Shifman, his sophomore-year drama teacher at LaGuardia,^[22] was so impressed by his audition that he insisted on Chalamet’s acceptance into the school even though he had been rejected in the interview (due to his middle school record),^[23] saying «I gave him the highest score I’ve ever given a kid auditioning.»^[24] During high school, Chalamet dated Madonna’s daughter Lourdes («Lola») Leon, a fellow student, for a year.^[4] He starred in school musicals as Emcee in Cabaret and Oscar Lindquist in Sweet Charity, graduating in 2013.^[25][26] He is also a YoungArts alumnus.^[27]

The following year, Chalamet starred in Woody Allen’s romantic comedy A Rainy Day in New York.^[80] The Me Too movement prompted a resurgence of the 1992 sexual abuse allegation against Allen.

Washington Middle School, which he described as a «miserable three years» due to the lack of a creative outlet within the school’s academically rigorous environment.^[8] His acceptance into Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts was a turning point in his appreciation for acting. He stated, «I had some excellent teachers and really fell in love with it. I saw that it could be and should be treated as a craft».^[19] Harry Shifman, his sophomore year drama teacher at LaGuardia,^[20] was so impressed by his audition that he insisted on Chalamet’s acceptance into the school even though he had been rejected in the interview, saying «I gave him the highest score I’ve ever given a kid auditioning.»^[21] He graduated in 2013, and starred in school musicals as Emcee in Cabaret and Oscar Lindquist in Sweet Charity.^[22][23] He is also a YoungArts alumnus.^[24]

After high school, Chalamet (still aged 17) attended Columbia University for one year, majoring in cultural anthropology.^[15][25] He later transferred to New York University‘s Gallatin School of Individualized Study to pursue his acting career more freely,^[26] having found it difficult to assimilate to Columbia directly after filming Interstellar.^[27] Upon leaving Columbia, Chalamet moved to Concourse, Bronx.^[28][6]

2008–2016: Early roles

As a child, Chalamet appeared in several commercials and acted in two horror short films like Sweet Tooth and Clown before making his television debut on an episode of the long-running police procedural series Law & Order (2009), playing a murder victim.^[15] He followed this with a minor role in the television film Loving Leah (2009). In 2011, he made his stage debut in the Off-Broadway play The Talls, a coming-of-age comedy set in the 1970s, in which he played a sexually curious 12 year-old Nicholas. The chief theatre critic of New York Daily News wrote «Chalamet hilariously captures a tween’s awakening curiosities about sex.»^[29][30] In 2012, he had recurring roles in the drama series Royal Pains and in the critically acclaimed spy-thriller series Homeland, in which he played Finn Walden, the rebellious son of the Vice President.

In February 2016, he starred as Jim Quinn in the autobiographical play Prodigal Son at Manhattan Theatre Club.

Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: «He is compelling even when he’s just watching silently and reacting to the other characters. When he has to explode with rage or manic energy, he’s startling. And in the drama competition, his reading of a climactic speech from Death of a Salesman suggests that this young actor has a bright future in many different media. (I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a better performance of that speech.)»^[48] Stephen Holden of The New York Times compared him to James Dean.^[49]

He alone would make the film worth watching».^[54] Jon Frosch of The Hollywood Reporter wrote «No performance this year felt as emotionally, physically and intellectually alive», and included Chalamet in the magazine’s list of the best performances of the year.^[55] The New York Times featured Chalamet in their list of the best actors of the year.^[56] For his work in Call Me by Your Name, Chalamet won the Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Actor,^[57] and received nominations for a Golden Globe, SAG Award, BAFTA Award and Academy Award, all for Best Actor.^[58] He is the third-youngest person in history to be nominated at the Oscars in the Best Actor category, and the youngest since Mickey Rooney in 1939.^{[59][60][61][62]}

The following year, Chalamet starred in Woody Allen‘s romantic comedy A Rainy Day in New York (2019).^[72] Due to an accusation of sexual assault against Allen, Chalamet donated his salary to the charities Time’s Up, LGBT Center of New York, and RAINN.^[73][74][75] He next portrayed Henry V of England, a young prince who unwittingly ascends the English Throne, in David Michôd‘s Netflix period drama The King, based on several plays from Shakespeare‘s Henriad.^[76][77] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair wrote, «Chalamet does robust work, straightening his lanky posture as he goes, rising up into the role like a man ascendant».^[78] In his third film release of 2019, Chalamet portrayed Theodore «Laurie» Laurence, a lovestruck teenager, in Little Women, an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott‘s novel of the same name.
