Dune 2’s Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler Disney Memories Posted by Morgan Murrell Last Updated: March 5, 2024 Dune 2’s Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler Disney Memories During a recent interview with Elle, the costars teamed up for the magazine’s Ask Me Anything segment. When asked about their first job, Timothée and Austin revealed both of their Hollywood careers started thanks to Disney. Timothée kicked things off, stating he got his start on a Disney Channel commercial. “They cast an English language-speaking kid, a Spanish language-speaking kid, and then I was the French-Canadian-speaking audience. I had a dialect coach for one line.” “We shot in Disney World at 3:00 a.m. ‘cuz that’s the only time in the park that no one’s there. [I was] 9 or 8, and then I went back to school bragging about being in a commercial, and no one believed me.” Apparently, the commercial didn’t air enough for any of his classmates to take his claims seriously, but thankfully, Timothée’s mom still has a copy of his humble beginnings. “I never had a real job other than acting. The first time I was ever paid as an actor was on Hannah Montana. It was an episode where she got set up on a blind date. I’m there and at first, she’s excited.” “Then we’re watching a horror film and I’m terrified during the film. I’m screaming and just losing my mind, so it turned out to be a bad blind date.” Both Austin and Timothée couldn’t help but laugh at their connection. But that wasn’t the only thing they had in common. Austin and Timothée have both hosted SNL, they’ve both been nominated for Academy Awards, and they both hope to work with Leonardo DiCaprio and Joaquin Phoenix one day. Source link
