However, it’s one thing for a young actor to appear in a few projects, then move on to other endeavors, for this young actor to formally dedicate himself to acting. In the case of Chalamet, after attending Columbia University, he realized he wanted acting to be his official profession, stating:
At that point, I was getting a lot of offers to work in the field of cinema which made it difficult for me to pursue my studies in literature. I think I already knew after Christopher Nolan hired me to play Interstellar that acting was my true ambition in life. But it wasn’t until I did Lady Bird (2017) and experienced working with iconic actors like Saoirse Ronan and Lucas Hedges. I learned so much from them as well as from director Greta Gerwig, that I decided to dedicate myself entirely to acting.
