"Societal collapse is in the air." These are the chilling words from Timothée Chalamet, the Oscar nominee and soon-to-be young Willy Wonka, during a recent press conference at the Venice Film Festival. Amidst the glamour and the glitz, Chalamet took a moment to reflect on the intense societal pressures that many feel today.
An Age Without Social Media – "To be young now... is to be intensely judged"
Chalamet's contemplations came as he promoted his film, Bones and All (2022), a cannibal love story set in the '80s. As reported by E! News, the actor found playing a young man without access to social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok a unique experience. "It was a relief to play characters who are wrestling with an internal dilemma absent the ability to go on Reddit, or Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok and figure out where they fit in."

A Shimmering Jumpsuit and a Warning
"It's tough to be alive now," he continued, his words resonating with many who feel the growing sense of doom that permeates modern life. But the gravity of Chalamet's words didn't overshadow the star's penchant for fashion. Despite his dire musings, Timmy wowed fans when he strutted the red carpet in a backless, shimmering red jumpsuit by designer Haider Ackermann. His look might not have screamed "the end times are coming," but it certainly showed that as long as society hasn't collapsed, Chalamet is going to keep turning heads.
From his powerful reflections on the existential crisis that seems to loom over today's society to his bold fashion choices, Timothée Chalamet continues to be a force to be reckoned with. While the actor's words were tinged with a sense of foreboding, they also reflected a deep awareness of the world we live in today.

Whether his observations serve as a stark wake-up call or merely a philosophical musing, one thing is for sure: Chalamet's presence on the big screen and on the red carpet is far from collapsing. We may not know what the air smells like in Venice, but we're willing to take Chalamet's word for it. His insights, combined with his distinctive style, prove that he's not just an actor but a thinker, keenly attuned to the pulse of society.
