Timothee Chalamet makes surprise visit to his old school, Entertainment News
Timothee Chalamet made a surprise visit to his old school this week. The A Complete Unknown actor delighted pupils at New York's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, which he graduated from in 2013, when he came in to offer career advice to students on Wednesday (April 23). The school's Instagram page shared several photos from Timothee's visit, including him reuniting with his old teachers, addressing the class, and posing for pictures with current students. They wrote: "When you have a guest speaker for your Career Management class... and Timothee Chalamet walks in the room... you know it's going to be a great day. "Thank you @tchalamet for visiting LaG today and providing important advice for our aspiring actors. Thank you to Harry Shifman, Sandy Faison and Kim Bruno, Timothee's former teachers and principal for joining us!" The 29-year-old previously praised the prestigious performing arts school for having "totally shaped" him. He told Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes earlier this year: "[LaGuardia] was a fantastic place for me to go. It totally shaped who I am and who I was. "I just felt like I could be however I wanted to be." And Timothee even took the A Complete Unknown script to his former drama teacher, Shifman, so they could discuss the role. He recalled: "I said that to Shif, 'If I had to go to a different high school, I wouldn't have been an actor.' He said, 'Oh, you would have found your way to it.' I really don't know." The teacher himself praised him for his "beautiful gifts". He said: "I do think everyone can develop their creativity. But not everybody is Mozart. "I think he has beautiful gifts, a kind heart, and a willingness to really work hard... It's pretty impressive." Last October, Timothee caused a stir when he turned up at his own lookalike competition at New York City's Washington Square Park, but the event ended on a sour note when the police tried to break up the contest, arresting four attendees. Event organiser Anthony Po was subsequently fined US$500 (S$660) for hosting a public event without a permit, and it later emerged Timothee's team offered to cover the cost. Anthony told People: "The production [cost] like US$4,000, so it's like legit the best-case scenario. "They need to do something stronger to [disincentivise] us. "They offered to pay the ticket, which is truly funny." However, Anthony rejected the offer from Timothee's team, and digital invite app Partiful paid the fine instead. The organiser didn't manage to meet Timothee at the event, and the latter didn't make the top 10 lookalikes — despite being the actual actor. Anthony said: "I think if he would've stayed for the end of it, maybe I would've given him runner-up or something." ALSO READ: Timothee Chalamet and Ariana Grande mingle at Oscar nominees dinner

Timothée Chalamet makes surprise visit to alma matter in NYC
Timothée Chalamet made an unforgettable return to his old stomping grounds this week, surprising students at New York City's famed Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School — and sending the entire school into a frenzy. On Wednesday, April 23, the elite arts school shared a collage of photos on Instagram, capturing the Oscar-nominated actor back in the very halls where he once trained. 'When you have a guest speaker for your Career Management class……. and Timothee Chalamet walks in the room…. you know it's going to be a great day!' the school wrote in the caption. Naturally, the moment caused a wave of excitement. Students were left wide-eyed and scrambling for selfies as word of Chalamet's presence spread like wildfire. The star, now 29, was met with swarming fans throughout the building, with crowds gathering in hallways just for a glimpse of him. The visit was part of a special session in which Chalamet spoke directly to current students, offering advice and inspiration for their careers in acting. His former teachers Harry Shifman, Sandy Faison and Kim Bruno were also present. 'Thank you @tchalamet for visiting LaG today and providing important advice for our aspiring actors,' the school continued. 'Thank you to Harry Shifman, Sandy Faison and Kim Bruno, Timothee's former teachers and principal for joining us!' Photos showed the actor warmly engaging with both students and faculty, smiling for photos, chatting one-on-one, and giving heartfelt guidance to young performers hoping to follow in his footsteps. This isn't the first time Chalamet has turned heads at a high school recently. While preparing to play Bob Dylan in the biopic A Complete Unknown a role that earned him an Oscar nomination, he also visited Dylan's old school, Hibbing High School in Minnesota. The school's drama department posted about the encounter on Facebook, saying, 'HHS Drama accidentally blew up the internet: We spent about 45 minutes with Timothée Chalamet yesterday at the historic Hibbing Auditorium. He was a total gem.' They added, 'In town researching all things Bob Dylan for an upcoming biopic, he asked his tour guide if he could meet with the drama students who were working on their competition one act.' 'He sat down with them one on one, and talked acting and theater,' the post continued. 'He was such a kind and easy going person, and our students were so grateful to have such a special experience.' With two high schools now boasting viral visits from the Call Me By Your Name star, it's clear that wherever Timothée Chalamet goes, excitement is sure to follow — and so are the fans.
