  • -Timothée Chalamet.

  • Always good to see you, buddy.

  • Thank you so much for coming back to our show.

  • -Thanks for having me back. -You got such a great energy.

  • Every time I run into you, you're always --

  • -And you were surprised backstage, right?

  • -Yeah, I was. -I scared Jimmy backstage.

  • Because he knocked on my door, I went "Aaaah!"

  • [ Laughter ] -You were right behind the door.

  • Normally, I knock on the door, and then, open it up

  • and walk into the dressing room. I opened up, but you --

  • you were right there and jumped out at me, yeah.

  • -I had been waiting. I was there.

  • -I wanted -- How long were you waiting for?

  • -For three hours. [ Laughter ]

  • -I want to ask you about this photo here,

  • because we've had Kim Kardashian on the show and Pete Davidson,

  • and they were talking about this night.

  • There's a picture of you guys

  • out to dinner with Kid Cudi and Kanye West.

  • -Okay. So, Kid Cudi is my favorite artist ever.

  • I wouldn't be acting without him.

  • I wouldn't pursue this crazy career,

  • and I just text him one morning, his birthday, and he said,

  • "Oh, come to dinner tonight."

  • I did not know that was what I was walking into.

  • Which was awesome but was surreal.

  • Had to go in the bathroom, send a couple of texts,

  • like, you know... [ Laughter ]

  • -So, you thought you were going to dinner with Kid Cudi.

  • -Yeah, which would've already been very surreal.

  • Because that's a -- You know, whenever I'm, like,

  • trying to have a good time,

  • but I'm also, like, coming off weird, like right now.

  • -No, no, no, no, no. [ Laughter ]

  • You're coming off totally normal and fun.

  • So, you get there and Pete Davidson's there.

  • Do you know Pete? -Yeah, Pete's great.

  • He's a fellow New Yorker.

  • Just did a movie with my sister, actually."

  • -Oh, really? -Yeah, Judd Apatow movie.

  • -No way. -Yes.

  • -So, it's you, Pete, and Kid Cudi.

  • And then, how do you know if Kim and Kanye are coming?

  • -Well, I got there, and I had sneaking suspicion,

  • but they weren't -- there was not enough seats for everyone,

  • so I thought I was gonna be safe.

  • And then -- Not safe, but it was.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And then, we're hanging out, and then it feels like

  • there's an earthquake in the restaurant,

  • but it was -- it was -- it was, like, epic.

  • You know, you can feel the, like --

  • -The energy shift.

  • -You turn around, and I was like, "Holy [bleep]"

  • You know, 'cause, like,

  • I feel like I'm in this now a little bit.

  • But then, I'm like, "I can't -- I can't feel, like --

  • I feel like too much of a fraud or something."

  • So, I'm like, "What?! This is nuts." Yeah.

  • -That you were sitting with Kid Cudi and Kanye?

  • Or Kim or what? -All of them, man.

  • I'm not -- I'm not -- -And where was this? What room?

  • -Well, that's in a back room at that point.

  • You know, I went to the bathroom.

  • Seriously, I sent a text to two friends, and my words,

  • like, "Does this make sense?"

  • And they were like, "Man, 16-year-old you

  • would slap the [bleep] out of you.

  • Go back to the table." [ Laughter ]

  • And I went to the table, and then, like --

  • And then, it was fun. It was a good time.

  • And then, you have enough, like,

  • random whatever they have on the table,

  • and then you forget about all of it, anyway.

  • -Yeah, exactly. It's fun, yeah.

  • -Now don't do that. It's not a healthy way

  • to deal with it, but in that moment, yeah.

  • [ Laughter ] -With 16-year-old you,

  • what would you be doing, if not acting?

  • -I'm not good at anything else.

  • That's the only thing I'm, like, decent at.

  • I mean, like, my mom's a dance teacher,

  • so maybe something in the arts,

  • maybe, like, dancing or something.

  • -'Cause I do have a photo of you in a dance -- a dance thing.

  • It's pretty awesome. -That's --

  • This is you at the National Dance Institute.

  • This is you as Cupid. [ Audience "Awws" ]

  • What do you remember about this?

  • -I remember absolutely nothing. [ Laughter ]

  • -Come on! -That's not even me!

  • -Come on. Come on.

  • No, it's not even you. Just a random kid, yeah.

  • -They just brought that up. No, that was surreal.

  • That's actually at my high school

  • that I went to, eventually, so the first time I was

  • on that stage was at the high school I went to.

  • And nobody would care about that,

  • but that's something I remember.

  • -No, people do care about that.

  • I saw somewhere, we were reading up on you,

  • and it said on yoursumé, your actingsumé,

  • you put things on there like -- besides acting --

  • skills that you could do. -Yes.

  • -One of them, I think, was dance.

  • Maybe one of them was chess, I want to say?

  • -It was random. My mom used to fill out

  • mysumé, so they have special skills,

  • and you go in for auditions. -Chess. [ Laughs ]

  • -Like, no casting director's gonna be like,

  • "This kid plays chess! Let's put him in a movie."

  • [ Laughter ] -"Can you fake chess?"

  • -But it was a lot. It was like, chess, bike riding,

  • you know, swimming. Like normal [bleep]

  • Normal things. Sorry, sorry.

  • -You can't say that word. -Sorry, sorry, sorry.

  • -Do you know how much money you're costing NBC right now?
