-I feel so bad for all of you guys.
-No! -You were waiting
in line outside, you saw Jessica Chastain,
and now you´re like, "Who the hell is this guy?"
[ Laughter ] -No, no.
I -- We -- Honestly, everyone´s going to know you, buddy.
-Okay. -Yeah, if they don´t already.
I want to know where are you from.
-I´m from New York. I grew up like 15 blocks from here,
so this is -- -Is that right?
[ Cheers and applause ]
That´s the way to do it. -Oh, man.
This is so strange. -Is that right?
I thought you were French for some reason.
-My dad´s French. My dad, who´s in the back.
He´s watching me right here. -Hi, dad. I met dad.
Yeah, I met dad.
-Listen, I had one --
I had one rule for myself when I came out here,
and it wasn´t to go, "Oh my God,
I´m doing this for the first time,"
and that is exactly what I´m doing.
[ Laughter ]
But just gonna keep going. -You´re doing great.
You have two big movies.
"Lady Bird," which you´re fantastic in, and --
-I´m nothing like that guy in real life, I promise,
for those who have seen it.
-No. That´s what acting´s all about.
[ Laughter ]
I am this guy. Yeah.
This is my job. Yeah, this is me.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah! -No, no, no.
I got to hear you, buddy. "Call Me By Your Name."
I was blown away by this movie.
I couldn´t believe -- I go --
First of all, it´s gorgeous, the way it was shot,
and where you were in Northern Italy?
-In Northern Italy in a town called Crema,
which is where our director was from,
so could shoot a scene and go home right away.
That was his game plan. -Oh, my gosh.
You were fantastic in it. -Thank you.
-Armie.
-Armie Hammer, Michael Stuhlbarg.
Armie Hammer is unbelievable.
Oh, the guy -- your dad?
-Yeah, he has an amazing speech at the end of the movie.
-The whole -- Again, I don´t want to spoil anything
or say -- What can we actually say about it?
It´s a coming of age story set in the ´80s,
and this -- this kid´s family is in Italy.
-It´s in Italy, yes, and then Armie Hammer shows up,
and that´s --
-But he´s not playing Armie Hammer.
-He´s not playing Armie.
-No, people are acting in this movie.
-Yeah, yeah, there´s a lot of acting going on.
And certainly I would hope there´s a lot of acting in it
because Armie´s wife would be really mad at me
if this all played out in real life.
-Yeah.
You´ll see what actually happens,
but the dialogue is so tricky.
I will also say, I love the opening titles,
which I saw it was Chen Li did the opening titles
because it´s these beautiful pictures
of, like, statues and --
-I´m so glad you credited that person,
and I might be wrong about this,
so maybe this has to get fact checked or something,
but I´m pretty sure Luca was just walking around Milan,
and he saw the font in the front of a store he liked,
and he said, "I´ve got to get in touch with that person.
They´re going to do the font for the movie."
-That´s -- I saw that.
And I go, "Already, I´m in a different world.
This is a movie I´ve never seen."
-Fantastic. -I loved it.
And then every single scene,
you go, "Gosh, it´s so beautiful,"
and then you just see --
You´re 17 in the movie or something?
-Yeah.
-And it´s just like, awkward watching you grow up
and you go -- It´s just tricky. [ Laughter ]
And I remember -- I was just like, obviously,
I had no idea where it was going,
and I just thought you did such a great job.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-And like you said,
stay tuned to the end of the movie,
which most people do for a movie.
[ Laughter ]
But the end,
the end is wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Well done, buddy.
-No spoilers. No spoilers.
-No, I can´t spoil it, but I will say, it does end.
The movie ends. -The movie does end.
-Eventually, the movie ends.
Yeah, but well done, and congrats on your success.
I love that you´re from New York.
-Thank you. -And your dad did a great job.
Did a great job. -Thank you. Appreciate that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I want to show everyone a clip.
Here´s Timothée Chalamet in "Call Me By Your Name."
Check it out.
-Play that again. -Play what again?
-The thing you played outside.
-Oh, you want me to play the thing I played outside?
-Please.
-Ah. Of course.
-I can´t believe you changed it again.
-Oh, I changed it a little bit.
-Yeah. Why?
-I just played it the way Busoni would have played it
if he´s altered Liszt´s version.
-And what is wrong with Bach,
the way Bach would have played Bach?
-Bach never wrote it for the guitar.
In fact, we´re not even sure Bach wrote at all.
-Forget I asked.
-Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Timothée Chalamet, everybody!
