EXCLUSIVE: Timothée Chalamet on Modern Money Etiquette and His Go-To Bodega Order
In a new partnership with Cash App, Chalamet explores opposing intergenerational views around finances in a commercial that finds him observing an argument between a father and teenage son, played by Izaac Wang (the titular character in the 2024 movie Didi). The duo, who own the otherworldly market, struggle to see eye-to-eye on methods of payment.
Chalamet catches the son staring him down while the father shows off his mangelwurzel varietal (which is indeed a real thing: The oversized root vegetable is part of the beet family and used primarily as livestock feed), and it gets even more cryptic when the son asks his father if he's 'told him yet.' Chalamet interjects, rightfully confused, 'Told me what?'
After explaining that they only accept certain forms of 'outdated' payment, like iron ingots, salts, and cowrie shells, the dad gets a bit defensive: 'What do you want? You want a robot? You want a robot as a father?' But the son points out that modernizing their banking doesn't mean they have to change who they are.
The commercial ends with them exchanging a look as Chalamet asks, 'How do I pay for this?' You see him walking out of the bodega with his bags, and you can assume he got what he came for (the mangelwurzel, we hope).
Ahead of the commercial's official reveal, Chalamet shared his own takes on payment etiquette exclusively with BHG—along with his go-to bodega order.

Modern Money Manners (and Bodega Orders) with Timothée Chalamet
Q: Do you usually add a note or emoji when you send or request money on Cash App?
You definitely have to add a note or emoji, for context and for jokes. If you don't make a joke out of it you're suspicious.
Q: We're in a new era of money manners—is it ever OK to wait more than a couple days to respond to pay-back request?
I think you've got a 48-hour window before it feels shady!
Q: What are your favorite bodega finds to share with friends?
Bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll, salt and pepper with ketchup. I would eat this 90% of my life if I wouldn't explode.
About the Cash App Collaboration
In addition to the commercial, Cash App is introducing limited-edition Cash App Card stamps designed with Chalamet in the coming months.
This isn't the first time Cash App has partnered with major public figures on similarly creative or meaningful ventures: In 2025 alone, Cash App has partnered with musician Shaboozey, director and writer Ramy Youssef, and WNBA athlete Angel Reese on various endeavors. The commercial featuring Chalamet was directed by Aidan Zamiri and written by Elijah Bynum, both of whom have collaborated with Chalamet in the past, Zamiri on various photography projects and Bynum on 2017 movie Hot Summer Nights.
You can watch the commercial online now, and the spot is also being featured in movie theaters across the U.S., preceding summer blockbuster Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. To promote it, Cash App surprised a few Timmy fans on social media with $25 to see a movie—giving them the opportunity to catch the ad on the big screen.
'We wanted to give Timothée a platform to encourage open conversations around money across age groups in a way that felt fresh and authentic to who he is as an artist,' said Catherine Ferdon, chief marketing officer at Cash App, in a press release. 'We've always empowered our partners to use their own voice and creative lens when sharing Cash App with their audiences, and we're thrilled to continue that momentum with one of the most prominent and influential actors of his generation.'
'Financial literacy across all age groups is important and this spot seeks to emphasize that,' Chalamet said via press release.

WNBA All-Star Weekend: The 8 Best, Most Hilarious Moments You May Not Have Seen on TV
All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by Glamour editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate All-Star Weekend 2025 was so unserious—and fans never wanted it to end. For three days, the WNBA's top players gathered in Indiana to represent the league and have a good time, with festivities leading up to a face-off between two All-Star teams led by Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier. But this wasn't like any other All-Star Weekend in sports. For the first time, fans were given an inside look at the players' perspective thanks to Courtney Williams and Natisha Heidman, a.k.a. the Stud Budz, who regularly post livestreams on their joint Twitch account. The pair decided to stream the entire weekend for 72-hours straight, bringing fans directly into practices and parties (and more parties), resulting in rare candid moments with stars like Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and Dijonai Carrington. "We are so surprised, honestly, we did not know how much love we'd be getting," Williams told USA Today of the streams' popularity during All-Star Weekend. 'I think people just love getting that behind the scenes, being so authentic, seeing players mess with us.' If the goal of All-Star Weekend is to highlight the product of the WNBA, Williams and Heidman did that in spades, illustrating that the success and relevancy of this league does not rest on the shoulders of any one player or team—an important message as WNBA players fight for higher salaries amid CBA negotiations. Of course, not all of the weekend's viral moments came from the Stud Budz livestream, though plenty of them did. For the sake of keeping things PG and respecting players' privacy as much as possible, we're going to highlight just some of the funniest, sweetest, and most exciting moments you may not have seen on TV. Don't worry you can find plenty more Stud Budz clips online when you're done here. Coach Cheryl Reeve's 'A.I.' Moment Many fans were surprised to see famously strict Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve getting down with the StudBudz at an All-Star Weekend party—including Reeve, who denied all evidence the next day, blaming the viral videos on artificial intelligence. 'You can't believe everything that's on the Internet,' Reeve joked on the Stud Budz stream the very next day. And AI, there was some sh*t on me last night, that was AI. That was AI…I was in bed." Caitlin Clark Linking Up With Ellie the Elephant Caitlin Clark sat next to New York Liberty mascot and icon Ellie the Elephant during the skills challenges on January 18. It seems she even tried to go through Ellie's bag, though her attempts were thwarted. Paige Bueckers Hard-Launching Her Relationship With Azzi Fudd Though UConn star Azzi Fudd has been rocking a 'Paige Buecker's girlfriend' phone case lately, fans were overwhelmed to hear Bueckers confirm the long-running relationship rumors by participating in Wag Talk, an interview series that highlights athletes' partners. In this case, the Dallas Wings star rookie was asked questions about her 'D1 girlfriend' before revealing Fudd's name at the end of the clip. On TikTok alone, the video has 9.8 million views and 1.2 million likes. Fudd was in Indiana for All-Star Weekend and even threw her own party attended by the Stud Budz—and Heidman was particularly excited to hang out with the weekend's 'power couple.' Natasha Cloud and Izzy Harrison's Rom-Com Moment The way Natasha Cloud ran to scoop up teammate and girlfriend Izzy Harrison after winning the Kia WNBA Skills Challenge needs to be put in a rom-com. In a post-win interview, Cloud told ESPN she plans to use the prize money (roughly $55,000) to put a downpayment on their house. 'This is for our family,' Cloud told ESPN's Holly Rowe. 'This momma over here told me I better win today for a downpayment on a house, so baby, you're gonna get that house.' Sabrina Ionescu's Sportsmanship After the skills challenge, Sabrina Ionescu took home the 3-point contest trophy, promising to share her winnings with rookie Sonia Citron, the only first-year competing in the evening's skills challenges. 'I told Sonia that I would give her half if I won when we were sitting on the bench," Ionescu told reporters during a press conference, per one video shared by Bleacher Report. 'As being, like, the only rookie…She was nervous, and I was nervous for her. I obviously have to hold up my end of the bargain, so half is gonna go to her." She continued, "Just for participating, like, that takes a a lot of courage to be able to do that as a rookie…and I was really proud of her. All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by Glamour editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. WNBA WNBA Star Sabrina Ionescu Promises to Split 3-Point Contest Prize Money With Rookie Sonia Citron Sportsmanship at its finest. Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers' Friendship One of the best friendships to come out of All-Star weekend was between Team Collier teammates Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese. In one video from team practice, Bueckers made Reese laugh by calling for 'mebounds,' a phrase that was initially used to cyberbully the league's rebound leader until she trademarked and reclaimed it as her own. Reese later shared a video of herself and Bueckers recording a TikTok dance, to the delight of fans. 'This is so important to me,' one user commented, receiving over 19,000 likes. 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' As previously mentioned, the WNBA players are currently in the middle of collective bargaining agreement negotiations for higher salaries and a share in the league's revenue. In a show of unity, all of the All-Stars wore 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' t-shirts during warmups for the big game on July 19. "We see the growth of the league, and as it stands, the current salary system is not really paying us what we're owed," WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike said of the slogan, per ESPN. 'And we want to be able to have that fair share moving forward, especially as we see all of the investment going in, and we want to be able to have our salaries reflected in a structure that makes sense for us.' Following the game, the crowd was heard chanting 'pay them more' as commissioner Cathy Engelbert presented Napheesa Collier the 2025 All-Star Game MVP trophy after her win against Team Clark. 'That gave me chills,' Collier later said of the moment in a press conference. Breanna Stewart's 10/10 Assist Look, the All-Star Game itself was not much of a competition, with neither team opting to play any real defense. Still, fans probably didn't expect to see Breanna Stewart of Team Collier purposefully give Team Clark rookie Kiki Iriafen a second chance at a four-point shot. 'This made me giggle, it was so wholesome,' one fan commented on a TikTok video about the exchange, while another wrote, 'I giggled and kicked my feet when I saw that. Stewie w the assist!' Whatever Happened Between the Stud Budz and Diplo It seemed Courtney Williams was not vibing with the music Diplo was originally playing at Sports Illustrated's All-Star After Party on July 19. During the final hours of the Stud Budz stream, Williams was seen asking the famous DJ to change the music—and he obliged. Fans are not convinced Williams knew who Diplo was, which makes the whole thing even funnier. Either way, Diplo seemed to love the StudBudz as much as the rest of us, sharing a video with Williams on his own Instagram story. After all, he's no stranger to live-streams… Can't wait to do it all again next year. In the meantime, someone get the Stud Budz a talk show.

Michael Douglas Hints at a Life-Altering Shift & It Has Everything To Do With Catherine Zeta-Jones
At the age of 80, Michael Douglas has called it quits on his Hollywood career. The Oscar-winning actor isn't upset about his decision, though, he's taken on a new role that is a very personal one — and it has everything to do with his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones. He revealed the news at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic and explained why he decided to retire after a storied career, including projects like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Fatal Attraction, and The War of the Roses. More from SheKnows LeAnn Rimes Opens up About Her Affair With Eddie Cibrian: 'I Know What I'm Responsible For' 'I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realized I had to stop,' he explained, per Variety. 'I had been working pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set. I have no real intentions of going back. I say I'm not retired because if something special came up, I'd go back, but otherwise, no.' Of course, the actor can't retire 100%, there is 'one little independent movie' that he hopes to pursue, but otherwise, his life is all about Zeta-Jones, and their two children, Dylan, 24, and Carys, 22, plus Cameron, 46, his son with first wife Diandra Luker. That's when Douglas revealed his new purpose in life — and it's really cute. He's not pursuing other Hollywood projects because 'in the spirit of maintaining a good marriage,' Douglas is 'happy to play the wife.' Zeta-Jones is free to pursue her entertainment industry career because The Kominsky Method star is happy to support her at home. The couple's love story may seem like a fairytale, but they've certainly had their share of bumps along the way, only to recommit to their relationship. After meeting in 1998, they fast-tracked their romance with their first son and marriage just two years later. By 2003, Carys had arrived, and everything seemed perfect, but trouble was on the horizon. Douglas was diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer in 2010, which took a toll on their marriage. By 2013, the dynamic duo split amid Zeta-Jones' struggles with her mental health — she was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder. After admitting to People at the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards that they were 'working things out, talking,' the couple found their way back to each other in 2014. Despite the 25-year age gap, Douglas and Zeta-Jones are two peas in a pod — and he wants to spend every moment with his bride. 'It's not ideal for him [when Zeta-Jones is away working] because he would prefer she never leave his side, but he also loves to cheer her on and see her succeed so he's sucking it up and promising her he's fine with it, but he admits to his friends how dreadful things are without her around,' a source told Closer Weekly in April. 'He says he doesn't sleep well when she's not in the bed, after so many years together, it's like missing his security blanket.'Best of SheKnows Amber Heard's Entire Dating History: Johnny Depp, Elon Musk, & More 11 of Prince William & Kate Middleton's Biggest Relationship Controversies 13 Celebrities Who Secretly Welcomed Children During Affairs Solve the daily Crossword
