Timothée Chalamet is one of the most talented stars in the industry working today, who first made a name for himself for his outstanding performance in Call Me By Your Name. The role earned him a nomination for the Best Actors category at the Oscars. Since then, he never had to look back as he went on to create a streak of blockbuster films such as Beautiful Boy, Dune, Wonka, Little Women, and many more.

Needless to say, Chalamet is among the finest stars in Hollywood. His recent advertisement with the film maestro, Martin Scorsese outclasses many big names in the industry. Interestingly, it is not a large-scale Hollywood project but an advertisement for Chanel that has gone viral, and fans compare it with Pitt and Kidman’s cinematic commercial.

Recently, CHANEL announced that Timothée Chalamet would be the fragrance ambassador of their newest fragrance BLEU DE CHANEL, A scent for the man who forges his own path.” The French fashion house released an advertisement featuring the Hostiles actor, directed by none other than Martin Scorsese.

The advertisement looked quite intriguing as it featured the classic elements of a Scorsese film such as moral ambiguity, and dynamic cinematography, finely integrated with effective soundtracks to enhance the narrative impact. 

The commercial was released only one day ago and it has already gathered 157k views, which is quite high for an advertisement. Fans loved the dynamic pair of Scorsese’s brilliance and Chalamet’s acting skills and bombarded the advertisement with positive comments, and how they would like the two to work together in a film.

@SweetieCartoons commented, The rare ad where getting a “celebrity director” actually has a strong influence on the style. Feels similar to “After Hours” in style. Amazing commercial!”

@bryanfabiancerros4321 commented, the last shot where he falling or floating or whatever is magic!! unexpected gold of a commercial!”

@_missmarissa_ commented, love that Scorcese used the shot where timothée got hit by the camera on the way out of the apartment. it goes with the theme of the ad in a way!”

@Kool-AidKitten commented, This is an amazing collaboration between Timothee and Scorsese. Well worth the wait.”

@pocrack5714 commented, The ad is finally out!! We have waited for so long. Unconventional yet unique commercial for a luxury brand. Good job to everyone involved!”

The advertisement was so good that it quickly went viral, and some fans even started comparing it with Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman’s commercial for the luxury brand.

@jazz7132 commented, Ugh I want a date like that. No phones. Just pure chemistry and glamour.”

@nccountry1412 commented, Penelope Cruz is such a high class. So feminine and naturally beautiful.”

@willow881000 commented, Watching Brad and Penelope doing a tribute to A Man ans a Woman makes me want to fall in love , again!”

While the other two commercials are fantastic in their own accord featuring class, sophistication, and elegance, Chalamet’s commercial with Martin Scorsese takes the win considering its theme and how the advertisement showcases the conflict of being a celebrity and yourself.
