It has been announced that Timothée Chalamet will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2026, joining the Class of 2026 that includes Emily Blunt, Demi Moore, Rachel McAdams, and Rami Malek. At 29, Chalamet will be one of the youngest recipients.
Chalamet, who was born in New York City, began acting as a teenager and gained widespread recognition with his Oscar-nominated role in Call Me by Your Name in 2017.
He has since starred in Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy, Little Women, and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune series, and recently portrayed Bob Dylan in the 2025 biopic A Complete Unknown, earning his second Academy Award nomination.
The announcement, made on July 2, 2025, sparked a variety of reactions on social media. Some fans expressed excitement, calling Chalamet “the main movie star of this generation” and praising his filmography, including his work in the Dune franchise.
Others questioned the timing of the honour, suggesting that it may be too early in his career for such recognition.
Comments on social media included suggestions that Kylie Jenner, Chalamet’s partner, may have had a role in securing the star, while others referenced Kris Jenner’s influence with humour.
Some users also highlighted that many established figures have yet to receive a star, questioning the selection process.
Despite the discussions surrounding the announcement, Chalamet’s selection adds to the list of recipients for the upcoming Hollywood Walk of Fame class and follows a series of roles he has taken across different films in recent years.
