00:00Timothee Chalamet is sharing that he previously had doubts about becoming an actor.

00:06The 29-year-old actor grew up in New York City, and while he was around many creative

00:11up-and-coming performers, he recognized the struggles many actors endure when trying to

00:16make it. Speaking with Anderson Cooper on a recent episode of 60 Minutes, Cooper and

00:20Chalamet visited a building in the theater district that Chalamet lived in, a rent-subsidized

00:25building filled with artists.

00:26This building truthfully made me scared of acting, because it's a tough lifestyle and

00:32a lot of people, you know, aren't doing fantastically.

00:38Cooper mentioned to Chalamet that he assumed this atmosphere would encourage him to pursue

00:42the arts. Instead, it had the opposite effect for Chalamet.

00:48Even though his family was immersed in the arts, his mom was a dancer, and his sister

00:53Pauline Chalamet also acted and is most known for her role in the sex lives of college girls.

00:58The Oscar nominee shared with Cooper that his dad told him to, quote, be normal.

01:03It's no place for a child. It really isn't. You know, cameras and people going, hey, do the

01:08thing where we recognize you as cute in your own head.

01:11However, Chalamet ultimately decided to pursue the arts and has become a household name, receiving

01:17two Oscar nominations so far for his work in 2017's Call Me By Your Name, and most recently,

01:22last year's A Complete Unknown, where he played Bob Dylan and received rave reviews for his

01:27performance.

01:28You can be beautiful or you can be ugly, but you can't be plain.
