In addition to his approximately 18 million
followers
on Instagram, his profile has only 83 publications, against one or two stories (never a selfie) always posted at intervals of months.
If Timothée Chalamet has never been very active on social networks, the latter has finally just explained the reason.
Friday, September 2, while he was promoting Luca Guadagnino's new film,
Bones and All
, at the Venice Film Festival, he confided in his vision of the world in the digital age.

Having taken down social networks for several months for the benefits of the feature film, Timothée Chalamet was thus able to develop his reflection.
"To be young now is to be intensely judged," he explained, as reported by
Variety
.
I can't imagine what it's like growing up with the onslaught of social media, and it's been a relief to play characters in an internal dilemma without being able to go to Reddit, Twitter, Instagram or TikTok.”
Faced with the over-connection of his generation, Timothée Chalamet explained that it was “difficult to feel alive today“.
And to predict: “I think the decline of our civilization is approaching.”

reunion time
Shot a thousand miles from the world of social networks, on the lost roads of Reagan America, the film Bones and All by Luca Guadagnino, follows the itinerary of two cannibalistic lovers, Maren (Taylor Russell) and Lee (Timothée Chalamet), prey to their morbid inclination.
The feature film marks the reunion between the 26-year-old comedian and the Italian director, whose Oscar-winning film
Call Me by Your Name
in 2017 helped launch the American's career.
