People don't usually talk like that? A wise man might ask himself why people don't usually talk like that.

Two pictures of the movie he did not win for lmfao

But they're thematically more appropriate for his quote.

But not, really, as Paul is an antihero.

There is nothing wrong with a young actor to aspire to be as great as Viola Devis.

How pretentious. People who are great don't need to tell others they are great.

justlisahealing.bsky.social•1 day ago

He doesn't say he's great. He says, "I'm in pursuit of greatness." Big difference.

People are literally taking his words out of context.

justlisahealing.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Exactly

He has his Kardashian training

Urgh. 🤮

laart20.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not a great speech really, sounded pretty conceited. And he missed mentioning his fellow nominees, who are all his seniors and true living legends!

justlisahealing.bsky.social•1 day ago

You're misinterpreting what he said. He didn't say he was great. He said he was in pursuit of greatness. Big difference.

laart20.bsky.social•1 day ago

I understood perfectly what he said. Just like he pointed out, people don’t typically say this. There’s a good reason why: because it sounds pretentious and arrogant… and somewhat immature tbh. Look, I love Timmy but this was a sucky speech.

thepixeler.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I think it would be more pretentious to pretend like it isn't a big deal and that he doesn't have ambitions. It's not arrogant to say you WANT to be one of the greats.

laart20.bsky.social•13 hours ago

In a room full of greats, in a category full of greats (Brody, Finnes, Craig, Domingo) .. it’s tacky to say ‘I wanna be Marlon Brando, I wanna be Daniel Day Lewis’. It is … immature at best. I love Timmy, but this was cringeworthy.

laart20.bsky.social•13 hours ago

And I don’t think anybody is pretending it’s not a big deal.., but nobody says ‘I wanna be Marlon Brando’ in their speech. That’s because it would be tacky.

I'm surprised how much he's grown on me. A solid actor. hopefully he keeps them coming

nagi159.bsky.social•1 day ago

this is only a stupid thing to say if you don't actually have the talent to back it up and chalamet 100% has the talent

iamjaywood.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why not use the picture of the movie he won for?!

ashwynne.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't have a problem with this kind of ambition. If he said he wanted to be the best ever, I'd find that arrogant. But wanting to be someone whose work will outlive them (aka one of the greats) is a very valid motivation imo.

ladyraevyn.bsky.social•1 day ago

People are so scared of ambition now, love to see this attitude. He's already better than 70% of Hollywood, yall can keep hating but you can't deny the truth. Chalamet is it.

pinksocietyspam.bsky.social•1 day ago

lol.

Wanting to be the best is good motivation.
