Chalamania : 50 reasons your internet boyfriend Timothee Chalamet is perfection

by Billie Oliver

This book is a chic love letter to the shaggy-haired, angelically cheekboned heartthrob: Timothee Chalamet. It's author Billie Oliver's very own De Profundis, that's not at all creepy - just celebratory. Well maybe a little creepy, but if it results in Timothee reaching out to Billie and her getting his number, well, that's certainly worth a little creeping.

The world has fallen in love with Timothee Chalamet, thanks largely to his skillful performances in films like Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name and Beautiful Boy. But it isn't just Timothee's acting chops that have won him the world's - particularly, the Twitter and Instagram world's - devotion ... Clearly, the aforementioned cheekbones go a long way, as does his floppy hair and dreamy green eyes. But, do you know he speaks French? That he takes red carpet selfies with Glenn Close? Or that he takes consistently bold risks on every red carpet, fashion-wise? (We all remember the Louis Vitton sequined harness.) That he's happy to talk about that time he cried watching Interstellar for the first time because he thought his role was bigger? And that he brought his sister as his date to the Golden Globes Awards?

There are so many reasons to be crushing on Timothee Chalamet right now, so let us indulge the Chalamania and count just 50 of the things we adore about him most. And Timothee, if you're reading this - call me.

You ever get gifted a book that you're like "hah! That's funny!" and they read it, and then realized "Hey, I can count this towards my yearly book goal? Because I have.

Granted, I also love Timothee Chalamet so it all worked out.

It’s so colorful and entertaining to look at, although I already knew most of its content, I would recommend it to a fan or as a gift

Ahaha this was fun
I love Timothée so so much and I'm so mad at Netflix for announcing that Call Me By Your Name will be removed...

I won’t lie, I laughed with true surprise and joy when I saw this book in a free library. I myself have a crush on t-chal. But do I think this book should exist? No.

I’m not going to harp on it’s creators in any serious way. I don’t think they really think he’s “perfection,” though they did say it on both the front and back cover…

Point being, I know I’m not being revolutionary by saying, “that’s not true!” Yet, it needs to be said that perpetuating the idea of human perfection should die.

1. “He speaks perfect french” no one speaks perfect french.
2. “He starred in Interstellar” sure, if we’re ignoring what “starred” means.
3. “His happy place is New York in the summer” this is an examples of how sometimes when you already love someone you think everything about them is cool when its not.
4. “He has the dreamiest emerald eyes” no, he doesn’t. “and looking into them in person would probably make your heart explode” scientifically unlikely. Also, please calm down.
5. “He went to school with Ansel Elgort, just one member of his incredible posse” mkay, we’ll just ignore some headlines then?
6. “He lived in the same apartment his whole childhood” … right, I forgot kids choose where they live, and also that we hate people who have moved.
7. “He’s a total film nerd” almost like that’s his job.

I’ll give it to them, I did pick the book up. I did read it. And I did like the collaging, looks fun. But this overall made me feel slimy, first for any potential audience members who are susceptible to buying into this idolization of a person, and second, for Timmy and anyone like him who cannot possibly live up to this idea of them and who also don’t deserve people writing on the internet about the assumed abilities of their tongue. Someone say, too far.

Me: reads this

Me months later: becomes gay

I put this because I don't know how to rate it honestly anymore but the pictures are cute and I love the fact that it exists in the first place lol

My friend gifted me this book for Christmas, and given the fact that this books promises to deliver 50 reasons to love Timothee Chalamet, I would say it is a groundbreaking success. The whole book looks like a scrapbook, which I found amazing and super fun! I was blushing and laughing the whole read through.

Como libro es una auténtica chorrada, tan solo son 50 datos sobre el actor que puedes encontrar en cualquier página web, pero es que los collages que los acompañan en cada página son graciosísimos. Es un libro perfecto para regalar a fans del actor.

[Reginald Postriety · Rating 1 out of 5]

why the f is this even on Goodreads I bought this book at 5 and below for gods sake and one page just says "those curls!" I want to give it a zero but that's not possible. this is bullshit and I wasted 5 dollars and he literally looks like dobby the elf and an African malnourished child had a baby.

[Paige · Rating 5 out of 5]

THIS BOOK IS SO COOL! I even learned a couple new things about my favourite Hollywood star! The collages and art in the book is beautiful. If you’re a Timotheé chalamet fan (who isn’t) You need this book!

This book was a gift rather than a deliberate purchase but... I can't deny that I'm 100% here for this.
