Timothee Chalamet To Be Honoured At David di Donatello AKA The Italian Oscars
Last Updated:
Timothée Chalamet will receive the David for Cinematic Excellence at David di Donatello awards in Rome for his roles in Call Me by Your Name, A Complete Unknown and Dune: Part Two.
Timothée Chalamet will be celebrated at this year's David di Donatello awards, the Italian equivalent of the Oscars. The 29-year-old actor will receive an award for 'cinematic excellence" at this year's ceremony in Rome on Wednesday (07.05.25).
Italian cinema academy president Piera Detassis in a statement: 'Timothée Chalamet's European origins and American background make him one of the most unpredictable and talented protagonists of international cinema today, capable of being both an auteur performer and a star generating trends and styles.
'The Academy is delighted to award him the David for Cinematic Excellence, which is meant to be an acknowledgement of the great actor of quality and innovative films, and, at the same time, of the global protagonist.
'It is important for us to remember how his worldwide recognition came about thanks to a wonderful Italian film, 'Call Me by Your Name', directed by one of our most internationally acclaimed directors, Luca Guadagnino. Essential and absolutely contemporary crossroads of cultures and visions, a match that David di Donatello is delighted to celebrate."
The David di Donatello awards will be hosted by Elena Sofia Ricci and Mika.
On the work front, Chalamet recently starred in the Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown' and 'Dune: Part Two'. His new movie, Josh Safdie's sports flick 'Marty Supreme', will be released later this year.
Meanwhile, on the personal front, Timothee Chalamet is dating Kylie Jenner. The two, who began dating in early 2023, have refrained from posting anything about their romance on social media, but their public appearances always give away the love and affection they have for each other. Other than attending events together, where they do not shy away from flaunting their love, both Kylie and Timothee consciously avoid talking about their relationship.

Why is Greta Thunberg sailing towards Gaza?
Greta Thunberg, along with a group of climate activists including French MP Rima Hassan and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham, is sailing to Gaza on the 'Madleen', a boat operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. The vessel is carrying humanitarian supplies as a protest against Israel's war on Gaza and its blockade of aid. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are watching closely read more Thunberg is heading to Gaza on a humanitarian ship. Instagram/gretathunberg Greta Thunberg and a group of climate activists are sailing towards Gaza in an attempt to 'break Israel's siege' on the region. They are travelling on the Madleen, a boat operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which left the southern Italian port of Catania last week. Rima Hassan, who is a member of the European Parliament, is also on board. The boat is carrying humanitarian supplies. ALSO READ | A new aid delivery system has started in Gaza. Why is it causing controversy? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Although aid has started to reach Gaza again in small amounts, relief groups say the situation remains critical and people are at risk of severe hunger. Now, Israel has responded to Thunberg's action, saying it will take steps as needed. Why is Greta Thunberg sailing to Gaza? Who else is on the boat with her? And how has Israel reacted? Let's answer these questions for you. Why is Greta Thunberg headed to Gaza? Who else is on the trip? Thunberg is heading to Gaza on a humanitarian ship to protest against Israel's war on the territory and its blockade on aid. The journey is organised by the Freedom Flotilla, a coalition of groups opposing the blockade Israel imposed on Gaza on March 2, which has only recently started to ease. Alongside Thunberg, European Parliament member Rima Hassan is also on the trip. Hassan said the mission has 'several aims: to condemn the humanitarian blockade and ongoing genocide, the impunity granted to the state of Israel and raise international awareness'. Hassan, known for her outspoken views with the French left-wing party LFI, was previously denied entry to Israel when she planned to visit the occupied Palestinian territories with a European Parliament delegation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The voyage includes 12 international activists, among them Thunberg and actor Liam Cunningham from Game of Thrones. Thunberg was supposed to travel earlier this month on a similar ship, but it was damaged before reaching Gaza. Throughout the trip, Thunberg has shared videos showing her wrapped in a keffiyeh, holding a Palestinian flag, and swimming in the Mediterranean. Madleen will reach Gaza's shores with humanitarian aid and aims to draw attention to the ongoing crisis. Thunberg said, 'We are doing this because, no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying,' becoming emotional during her speech. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some activists on board reported that the boat was followed by drones, likely operated by the Greek coast guard. Gaza has faced a total blockade by Israel for over 90 days, with land, sea, and air restrictions since 2007. The aid on board includes milk, protein bars, baby formula, diapers, flour, rice, water filters, hygiene products, and medical supplies. What is Israel's plan? On Wednesday, Israel said that it is 'prepared' to 'act accordingly' to prevent Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that they are closely monitoring the flotilla. 'For this case as well, we are prepared,' IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin told the Times of London. Greta Thunberg and a group of climate activists are sailing towards Gaza. AP 'We have gained experience in recent years, and we will act accordingly.' Defrin did not provide details on what measures might be taken. However, last month, an earlier Freedom Flotilla Coalition ship was damaged just before arriving in Malta to pick up Thunberg for a similar mission. The group accused Israel of using drones to attack the vessel. What's happening in Gaza? The United Nations said on Friday that the situation in Gaza is the worst since the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants began 19 months ago, even though limited aid has started to arrive in the area again. Facing growing international pressure, Israel lifted an 11-week blockade on Gaza, allowing some UN-led aid operations to resume. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Israeli government had said that the blockade aims to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages taken during the October 7, 2023, attack that led to the war. On that day, Hamas militants attacked southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251 hostages. Hamas still holds 58 hostages, with 23 believed to be alive. In response, Israel launched a military offensive that has killed more than 52,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Israeli bombardment and ground operations have devastated large parts of Gaza and left most of its population homeless. The Freedom Flotilla group is one of many critics accusing Israel of genocide in its war on Gaza. Israel strongly rejects these claims, insisting its actions target Hamas militants, not civilians. On Thursday, the White House said Israel had 'signed off' on a new ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, but Hamas said it could not accept the deal.

Sinner says childhood acquaintance Boisson 'deserves' fairytale French Open run
Men's world number one Jannik Sinner revealed Wednesday he learned his trade alongside Roland Garros sensation Lois Boisson, after the 361st-ranked player extended her stunning run in Paris by reaching the semi-finals on the women's side of the draw. A video circulated on social media earlier in the day of the unlikely duo enjoying an early morning hitting session before playing their respective quarter-final matches. But Sinner told reporters after his straight-sets win over Alexander Bublik where he booked his spot in the semi-final that he and the French wildcard have known each other for years. "We actually were in the same centre for a little while back in the days," said the top seed Italian. "And we practised, you know, sometimes together even there. So I know her. It's now already a time ago." Despite their hugely differing career paths since then, Sinner said he and Boisson had even had a catch-up shortly before the Dijon-native's ascent to stardom. "I saw her before the tournament in the gym," he recounted. "We talked a little bit how things are, and she was very happy. Having a wildcard here, it's a special tournament for her, being French." A relative unknown to the tennis world at large, Boisson has enjoyed a fairytale maiden Grand Slam appearance, ousting third seed Jessica Pegula and world number six Mirra Andreeva in successive matches to reach the last four in Paris. In doing so, the 22-year-old became the lowest-ranked major semi-finalist in the last 40 years, and also the new sporting icon of a nation. "It's amazing, no?," said Sinner. "I think that's exactly what France needs, you know, something very new, very special, great mentality. "I think the level she produces is amazing, no? Very consistent. Very clay court style, you know, with the forehand, a lot of topspin." Sinner got a close-up of that heavy topspin style on Wednesday when knocking up with Boisson before the day's play. And it was the three-time Grand Slam winner who did the asking. "Today it was raining, so I called here, the desk, you know, if there was some free spot, because I don't want to risk to go on court without warming up," Sinner said. "So we arrived here quite early. Yeah, she said straightaway yes, and we hit some balls." Though they may be separated by 360 ranking spots, Sinner said he was impressed by Boisson's ball-striking ability. "It was a very consistent warm-up for a different game style for a woman, because the ball is quite high and quite spinny," he said. "Physically very strong. She deserves to be in the position where she is right now, and we wish her all the best for the future." nf/jc
