Timothy Shalame: "How a" boy with peaches "is experiencing a surge of glory

Joke Timothy Shalame that he will have to put autographs exclusively on peaches, said on the show Jimmy Kimmel, for a long time did not descend from the tabloid pages, and the actor himself admitted that the picture "Call me by his name" can for a long time become a painful test in his further career.

The long-awaited success

For a long time already it is known that the Dream Factory with special pathos welcomes the newcomers who have burst into the world of cinema art. The young Shalame was no exception. Hardly began to abate heated debates around his first high-profile role on the eve of the Oscar, as the new film by Felix van Gruningen's "The Beautiful Boy" once again agitated and the guy is already predicting the next Oscar nomination. Shalame, already slightly desperate from a series of failures and prolonged waiting, finally broke out of silence, and caught his "bird of happiness" by the tail. But many express fears about the rooting patterned role of young talent. The actor himself does not worry yet that suddenly struck glory will be fleeting and relies on the natural course of events.

Do not lose yourself

Until the recent triumph, young Timothy was most often mentioned in the press as a teenager from the project "Motherland" and, sometimes, as a boyfriend of Madonna's daughter. But over the past months, the actor has given dozens of interviews and his sudden popularity with many causes concern about the ruthless survival system in Hollywood.

Young Shalame, the son of an American, the dancer Nicole Flender and part-time middle-management in the field of real estate, and the French interpreter in the international organization UNICEF, spent her childhood in her father's homeland, and therefore is not surprised when sometimes she still hears her name with pronunciation on French manners. The actor admits that in his teens he had to experience much of what his character is experiencing in "Call me by his name."

Under close scrutiny

The nickname "young sec-symbol", already established after Timothy Shalame, is increasingly raising the question: will not the early triumph be an aggravating circumstance in the actor's career, putting a stigma on the coming years? Remember the young Leo DiCaprio and Robert Pattinson ... These actors were not easy to grow out of "short pants", proving their worth. While Shalame takes fame as a payment for the work done, and does not think about the future in a gloomy light:

"Now I'm more and more on casting, trying on different roles. To be honest, I'm happy with everything that happened to me. I am improving, I learn from professionals, from those with whom fate brought me together. Recently I rehearsed with William Macy and he told me that when there is no need to constantly go for tests, it's really great. "
