Timothee Chalamet Reveals Thoughts on Scandal Surrounding 'Call Me By Your Name' Co-Star Armie Hammer
Timothee Chalamet starred in the iconic Oscar-winning movie "Call Me By Your Name" with Armie Hammer.
Though they were on-screen lovers, off-screen, they forged a close friendship while making the romantic drama film.
In an interview with Variety, the "Dune" star confessed that he and Hammer shared the same bond their characters Elio and Oliver do.
They ride bikes, chat over coffee, and because they filmed in Italy, far away from home, they hung out constantly, which led to developing a genuine bond.
Even after the filming ended, they reportedly remained friends.
When a sequel for "Call Me By Your Name" was rumored to happen, Hammer was enthused in an interview, saying, "I want to see it happen. I want to do it again. It was a special time."
But what does Chalamet think of the entire scandal surrounding his co-star?
