Timothée Hal Chalamet is your classic indie movie dream boat: a sick jawline, exotic name, and unearthly great hair. While I’m not one to swoon over anyone (except myself), T-Chal has me shook.
For those of you who don’t know, Timothée Chalamet is a American-French actor who starred in “Call Me By Your Name,” “Lady Bird,” and “Beautiful Boy”. My personal favorite? A young T-Chal in the early seasons of “Homeland”. Regardless of who your favorite Timothée Chalamet character is, these new(ish) photos of him having me questioning everything.
An Instagramer and photoshop genius created the “chalametinart” account. This Insta features over 35 posts of Chalamet elegantly photoshopped into paintings. I don’t know if it is the Instagramers insane talent or Chalamet’s versatile features, but the doctored paintings look authentic.
Here are some of my favorites:
Original painting is “Boy with a Basket is Fruit” (1593) by Michelangelo.
Original painting is “A Coign of Vantage” (1895) by Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
Original painting is “Young Man with a Basket of Fruit” (1640) by Bartolomé Estevan Murillo.
And also some comical ones:
Original painting is “American Gothic” (1930) by Grant Wood.
Original painting is “The Scream” (1893) by Edvar Munch.
Original painting is “The Desperate Man” (1844-1845) by Gustave Courbet.
The realistic paintings have me equally awestruck and uncomfortable. T-Chal genuinely looks like he could be 16th century heartthrob. Whether it be Chalamet’s fortunate gene pool or modern technology, I’m still phased about the *perceived* authenticity and the general coolness of combining pop culture with art history.
