The &quot;Call Me By Your Name&quot; and &quot;Dune&quot; actor was directed by one of the most prolific American directors, Martin Scorsese. Together they tell us what it was like to shoot the new commercial for the iconic men&#39;s fragrance Chanel on the streets of New York.

&laquo;One of the greatest honors&raquo; , says <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/hommes/timothee-chalamet-fashion-style-birthday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet</a> regarding how he felt having to shoot with one of the most important directors in the contemporary scene, &laquo;if not the greatest honor of my career&raquo; . &laquo;I'm a New York guy. I'm an actor from New York. It was at the top of my wish list." The commercial is a 90-second film inspired by &ldquo;Toby Dammit&rdquo; , part of the 1968 collective film &ldquo;Tre passi nel delirio&rdquo; shot by three sacred monsters of cinema, Federico Fellini, Louis Malle and Roger Vadim . &laquo;In this short film, I play a kind of caricature of myself&raquo; , explains the French Canadian actor.

&laquo;What would my life be like if the &ldquo;advertising&rdquo; need present in the acting world was all-encompassing? In this short film, I play a character named Simon, who is a kind of trumpeter married to his art more than his relationships." Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/five-reasons-to-anticipate-martin-scorsese-new-movie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martin Scorsese</a> walked the streets of SoHo even late at night. &ldquo;We were in Queens at four in the morning and he was going up and down the subway stairs,&rdquo; Chalamet said.

It is not the first time that Scorsese has attempted a Chanel commercial, already in 2010 he filmed the advertising video for the men&#39;s fragrance Bleu , starring the late Gaspard Ulliel . Yet between one scene and another he explains how «creating strong and incisive images capable of telling a story in 60 or 90 seconds is probably the most difficult thing to do». “It doesn&#39;t matter how long you&#39;ve been behind a camera, how long you&#39;ve been trying to tell stories with it.”
