Up-and-coming actor Timothée Chalamet has shared that Leonardo DiCaprio has a few ‘career rules’ and advised Chalamet to follow them too…
Timothée Chalamet’s star has continued to rise ever since his breakthrough role in the 2017 film, Call Me By Your Name.
For instance, the 26-year-old actor has gone on to appear in multiple hit films like Lady Bird, Little Women, Don’t Look Up and Dune. He’s also set to play Willy Wonka in the upcoming film, Wonka.

This isn’t the first time DiCaprio’s given a younger actor advice. DiCaprio also shared a few pearls of wisdom with Austin Butler – best known for his role in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis – back when the two were filming Once Upon A Time In Hollywood together.
