While on the promotional circuit for upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown (which hits theaters on Christmas Day), Chalamet told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that his build cost him a handful of roles when he was starting out.

Hollywood body standards couldn't stop Chalamet from becoming a leading man.

The “Dune” star talked to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about his experience early in his career. “If I auditioned for ‘The Maze Runner’ or ‘Divergent,’ things of that variety that were popping when I was coming up, the feedback was always, ‘Oh, you don’t have the right body,’” Chalamet said.

Timothée Chalamet has proven to be a major star with his work in movies like the 'Dune' films and 'Wonka,' but was told he was too skinny at first.
