A wise man once said, “Thank God Timothée Chalamet isn’t bald.” It was me and I’m saying it right now. I don’t want to minimize his acting—I truly believe Timothée is one of the most impressive talents of my generation—but I also think he has one of the best heads of hair of my generation. I am holding space for both of these truths and feel they strengthen one another.
But it wasn’t until I saw the thumbnail for the Dune 2 trailer (no, not the trailer itself) that I realized how much I needed to see his hair back on the big screen. That actors strike, while necessary, created a drought. But there is water on the horizon, and it is not a mirage. In the meantime, I think it would be educational to look back at our previous eras, be they boom or bust.
As with any list, not all entries are created equal, so I have taken it upon myself to rank the following appearances by Timmy’s hair in a motion picture. I should stress that this is a very vibes-based ranking, but I do believe I’m right.
