In today’s Hollywood industry, Timothée Chalamet is a rare artist who attracts audiences of all ages. And over the past year, his promotional efforts have paid off with huge sales for projects like Wonka ($625 million) and Dune: Part Two ($369 million and counting).

Evidence from ticket sales gives studios hope that they are witnessing the emergence of a leading man on screen, a true star, because the current industry has yet to nurture male stars. Which cinema can follow legends like Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom Cruise? However, the appearance of Timothée Chalamet and Glen Powell has made studios maintain faith and hope. As for Tom Holland, it’s undeniable that his salary has skyrocketed after the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home but he still can’t compete with Timothée Chalamet when his only attraction is the role of Spider-Man.

‘

We have Glen Powell and Chalamet, opening up a new talent pool of big stars capable of bringing in revenue. That’s great for audiences, but more than that, it’s a huge relief for an industry that has relied on aging talent for too long,’ said analyst Jeff Bock.

According to multiple sources, Chalamet earned more than $8 million for his role in the movie Wonka. Now, he’s getting a raise and double-digit pay for new leading roles. Even though Warner Bros and Legendary don’t have a deal in place for part 3 of Dune yet, director Denis Villeneuve is completely ready. This means Chalamet’s salary could skyrocket in future installments.

It is known that Timothée was mentored by Leonardo DiCaprio and Joaquin Phoenix when he started his career. The French-born actor was highly appreciated by critics after trying his hand in independent films such as Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird. Taking advantage of the victory, he continued to increase his recognition with Wonka and the two parts of Dune. However, with the recent failures of DC Comics and Marvel, both Wonka and Dune need new formulas to attract audiences to buy tickets instead of being labeled as conventional commercial films.

Timothée’s efforts have not stopped. This rising A-list star is ready to get to work and is not afraid of difficulties. According to sources at Variety, Timothée’s commitments to advertising and promotion make the actor a marketing executive’s dream: ‘He wants to win and he knows how to do it. He respects and cares about his fans. He feels responsible for them’.

At the present time, Timothée Chalamet boasts 19 million followers on the social networking platform Instagram. The problem is that his followers find his charm unlike any other typical male lead. Chalamet’s charm is quite strange, because he is cool but not cold and does not give off an unapproachable feeling. Many people comment that Chalamet’s current charm is quite similar to that of actor Johnny Depp in the early years of his career.
