Please can someone explain the attraction / obsession with this young man? I just don’t get it?!

Watch him in The King. You may change your mind.

RaininSummer · 18/12/2025 19:52

He is an extremely good actor I think so one to watch. Also clever and charming.

This. He’s a talented actor - wasn’t he Oscar nominated quite young?

EchoedSilence · 18/12/2025 20:01

i think he's beautiful. The Ad he does for chanel makes me swoon.

ItsmeMargo · 18/12/2025 20:01

I think he’s a great actor. Love the interviews of him with Hugh Grant when they were promoting Wonka, very funny. I kind of like the fact that he isn’t beefed up with the fake teeth … teenage me would love him. I was always a fan of the tall skinny guys with messy dark hair!

VictoriaEra · 18/12/2025 20:07

I’m old but I get it. Did you not see him as Bob Dylan?

Nope, I don’t get it either, but don’t think I’m the target demographic. He is a leading member of the genre of handsomeness known as ‘hot rodent’.

Ah definitely get the hot rodent reference. Kit Harington ( Game of thrones) was only good looking with wavy hair. With short hair, yuk. Timothy is the same. Wavy hair I get the appeal. Buzz cut...nope

Jugendstiel · 18/12/2025 20:28

I don't get why he's a heart-throb but he is an outstanding actor and that talent in itself is very sexy.

HerVagestyTheQueef · 18/12/2025 20:30

He’s a good actor, and has been in a few good films, so of course he’s got a bit of a presence at the moment.

…but he’s still a kid

He’s 29!

HarryVanderspeigle · 18/12/2025 20:32

He made me really think that Bob Dylan was a knob. Which of course means he acted the part well.

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 18/12/2025 20:34

I think he visually has the same cinematic magnetism / visually arresting properties / je ne sais pas as Kirsten Stewart but is a better actor
... so basically a more talented male version of her.

+1 on hot rodent.

Barry doesnt belong on thst list though. He's just plain 🤮

He is half French and is fluent in French. He did an interview on French TV in French to promote Call Me By My Name.

Interesting. I've seen his name and picture a lot over the last few years but never heard him speak so did a double take yesterday when he was interviewed on the news and this American accent came out of him.

He seemed like a lovely fella though.

Needmorelego · 18/12/2025 20:42

He needs to grow his curls back 🙁

I liked it when he spoke French! Apparently he and the director of Dune, Denis Villeneuve would speak French on set and Zendaya would feel left out so she said she was going to learn French before they made the next film! I don’t know if she did!

ETA he seems genuinely adorable

Don’t know much about him other than he called Susan Boyle an absolute British legend because of her rage to riches story and how she ‘dreamed bigger than all of us’. Thought that was a really lovely - and unexpected observation from a young Hollywood star!

1457bloom · 18/12/2025 21:41

His current film is rubbish.

canuckup · 18/12/2025 21:42

Me too I don't get it

GovernmentFundedSteak · 18/12/2025 21:44

He's beautiful!

TokyoSushi · 18/12/2025 21:46

I didn’t get it either until I’ve seen/heard him in loads of interviews this week, he seems lovely and I’m going to watch his new film!
