Timothée Chalamet Lobbies for Some Love From Apple TV+
Hollywood heartthrob hypes original content
Pity Timothée Chalamet. He’s a rich young Hollywood heartthrob with nominations for Oscars, Golden Globes and BAFTAs. But until he wins a role on Apple TV+, dude just won’t feel fulfilled.
Chalamet unburdens himself in a lively two-minute film from the streamer, TBWAMediaArts Lab and director Tom Kuntz (who’s work is all over Muse this week). Jason Sudeikis and other Apple TV+ stars make cameos, joining Chalamet in a pitch for the platform’s lauded lineup:
Indeed, Timmo, we agree you could “do weird,” ala Severance. As for prison dramas, it all depends on how you look in stripes. (And we’re guessing that would be great.)
Jon Hamm begged Apple TV+ for a gig in a similarly-themed effort last year. He did wind up getting a series. On Fox. Sorry, Hammy.
The Chalamet campaign drops today across social and will also run during the NFL Payoffs. Fresh spots break in coming weeks, along with outreach on TikTok.
