NEED TO KNOW
- Timothée Chalamet ditched his curls for a buzz cut in a new social media clip
- The actor has been teasing his new look for months, but finally shared the grand reveal Tuesday, Oct. 7
- Fans have suspected Chalamet’s new look since at least July, when he was seen in Saint-Tropez with girlfriend Kylie Jenner
Timothée Chalamet has officially kissed his curls goodbye!
On Tuesday, Oct. 7, the Marty Supreme star, 29, took to his Instagram Stories to tease his fans, telling them he’d go “live in 10 mins” in text written on a black background with orange letters.
In the livestream, which he later shared as a clip on his Instagram profile, a character is seen wearing a Marty Supreme hoodie with an orange bowling ball on their head with three stars in the middle. The character is sitting inside a square container as orange balls fly around.
As pulsating music with a voice repeating “I am the commander!” is heard, similar characters also play multiple ping pong matches in a field. The clip then goes back to the first character as they escape the container. Once out, they pull off their headgear, revealing the actor — and his shaved head — underneath.
The clip runs for just over five minutes.
Tuesday marked the first time the Dune: Part Two actor fully and publicly revealed his shaved head. However, there have been several occasions where he was spotted out with his head covered, and apparently with fewer curls.
In early July, Chalamet was photographed on a day trip to Shellona Beach in Saint-Tropez, France, alongside girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
The Wonka star wore a green and white Nigeria soccer jersey, army green cargo shorts and white tennis shoes.
He finished off his look with two different accessories worn on his head — a navy blue Nike baseball cap and a green and white bandana. Both partially hid his head, which seemed to be shaved.
On another occasion, he was spotted with another blue baseball cap and the back and sides of his head were obviously tapered.
More recently, Chalamet surprised fans by attending the world premiere of Marty Supreme during the New York Film Festival on the evening of Monday, Oct. 6, looking noticeably different.
The Complete Unknown actor kept it chic with a dark, leather bomber jacket and leather pants tucked into military boots. He teamed his look with rimless glasses and a black baseball cap, which partially revealed his buzzcut, but did not fully show his head.
In the A24 sports drama, the actor plays a fictionalized version of professional ping pong player Marty Reisman. Josh Safdie, who directed, produced and wrote the film’s screenplay, was also present for the surprise showing.
