Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet is an American actor born in Manhattan, New York in 1995, celebrated for roles in films such as Call Me by Your Name, Dune, Little Women, and Wonka. While his primary career is in film, he has recorded musical numbers as part of several of his projects, most notably his role as young Willy Wonka in the 2023 musical Wonka, contributing songs like «Pure Imagination» and «A World of Your Own» to that soundtrack. His singing voice, warm and theatrical, fits the whimsical, orchestral tone of the musical numbers he has taken on.

Before his film breakthrough, Chalamet attended the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art, where he rapped under the alias Lil Timmy Tim, an early creative outlet that resurfaces occasionally in fan discussion and internet culture, including brief rap-adjacent tracks like «Timmy Tim (Jump)».

Chalamet's presence on music platforms largely traces back to his soundtrack work and these early rap curiosities rather than a sustained recording career, but his crossover into song — especially through Wonka — has made him a recognizable voice in film-musical soundtracks of the 2020s, drawing acclaim for balancing acting and vocal performance.
