Timothee Chalamet Reveals Why He Thinks Susan Boyle Is One of the Greatest Brits of All Time
Timothée Chalamet has surprised fans by revealing his personal list of Greatest Brits includes Susan Boyle.
In a BBC interview published Thursday, December 17, Chalamet was asked to name his favorite British figures of all time.
He began with household names which were more expected like Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton and power couple David and Victoria Beckham then paused dramatically before landing on the Scottish singer.
Boyle rocketed to worldwide fame back in 2009 after her unforgettable audition on Britain’s Got Talent. Her stunning performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” became one of the most iconic TV moments of the decade and turned her into a global star almost overnight.
Asked to explain his selection, Chalamet explained: “She dreamt bigger than all of us, who wasn’t moved by that. It was like the advent of YouTube.”
It’s not the first time Boyle has resurfaced in pop culture conversations in recent years. Her audition has been voted among the most memorable Britain’s Got Talent moments and gets mentioned again and again as a defining television event.
Chalamet has been on the promotion trail for weeks for latest film Marty Supreme, including a red carpet appearance on Monday December 8, with girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
