Timothee Chalamer felt nostalgic after meeting Christopher Nolan.
The Dune star reflected on his recent conversation with the Interstellar director at the screening of the 2014 sci-fi adventure earlier this month.
Timothee noted that meeting Christopher made him feel like a teenager as the actor played the role of his father’s on-screen son in the film played by Matthew Macoughney.
“The whole experience with Nolan made me feel 17 again,” Timothee said during the recent screening of Call me by your name at the historic Los Angeles Theater on February 13.
“I went home, it was shocking… That was a crazy car ride home for me. I thought, ‘Holy sh-t, I feel like the thirteen years that have passed haven’t passed yet.’ “
Timothee shared an intimate glimpse of Christopher’s light-hearted personality, saying he was “making jokes backstage.”
He recalled: “We were taking pictures together… and he throws me in a headlock and starts giving me a noogie. I’m like, ‘Holy sh-t, Chris Nolan is hitting me with a noogie right now.’ “
The Marty Supreme star noted with a laugh, “I told him, ‘Chris, I’m a 30-year-old man.’ He said, ‘Not to me, you’re not.'”
In another screening of the film, Timothee commented on his role in Interstellar.
“Although my role on Interstellar is not a big one – I think I was number 12 on the call sheet – this film came to me at a time in my life, in my career, where things were certainly not set in stone,” he noted. “And it’s still my favorite project I’ve ever been in. It’s the movie I’ve seen the most of, of any movie ever made in human history.”
