I never really thought about this but you're right. He's smart. I remember watching him make a speech when he was a still new face a couple years ago and thinking, man even this kid fails at acting he'll still make it in life. He's got charm and charisma in spades and he really really knows how to talk.

đđđđ âyoung actors rarely ask for advice unless itâs about where to get cokeâ

for anyone who is a parent or a teacher, consider letting your kids play and experiment with all the things they love and like even if they are not the best at them, even if they feel useless. That is one of many the keys for multifaceted and creative kids to become at healthier and happy adult.

Like many young men and young women in the industry before him, Timothee has talent, youth, and good looks. He's simply the flavor of the month. This is Hollywood we're talking about.

The youngest in 78 years? No, Patty Duke at age 16 was nominated and won an Oscar for best supporting actress in 1963, which was 61 years ago.

TimothĂ©eâs movies Willy Wonka & Dune 2 of which heâs the lead star surpassed the $200M box office take, TOOK the record long held by John Travoltaâs movies Saturday Night Live & Grease! Even John Travolta, whoâs always a very nice fellow, congratulated him. Wonka got $600M globally in 2 wks & counting. Thereâs prediction that Dune2, ATM got $400M domestically, will SURPASS Wonkaâs take in the box office, globally!

really good video
-
His films are hits because of the names of the brand films (Wonka, dune) not him. He still has to prove that he can carry a film on his shoulders đ
-
That was interesting but the yellow subs in the middle of the screen and the annoying music ruined the whole thing.
-
I actually don't think he's that good of an actor. I think he's growing, but has a long way to go if acting itself is what's he's passionate about. That being said he's very smart and seems to eager to learn so that's giving him resilience long enough to stay around for him to become valuable to directors and producers

mediocrity privilege
