Three weeks ago, Timothée Chalamet declared on Instagram that he is “officially unc” as he turned 30. He may be old by Gen Alpha standards, but he is one of the youngest actors ever to become a three-time Oscar nominee.
All of Chalamet’s nominations have come in the Best Actor category, for Call Me by Your Name in 2018, A Complete Unknown last year, and Marty Supreme this morning. He is 30 years and 26 days old.
Chalamet is the youngest male actor to accomplish the feat since the great Marlon Brando, who was nominated for A Streetcar Named Desire in 1952, Viva Zapata! in 1953 and Julius Caesar in 1954, also all in the Best Actor category. Brando was still 29 when the 1954 Oscar nominations were revealed on Feb. 15 of that year, a month and a half before his 30th birthday on April 3.
Overall Jennifer Lawrence remains the youngest actor ever (male or female) actor to earn three Oscar nominations. She was 23 when she received her third her American Hustle (Supporting Actress) in January 2014, following Best Actress nominations for Winter’s Bone (2011) and Silver Linings Playbook (2013), the latter landing her the trophy.
