February 05, 2024|Author: Lorraine Herbert

Timothee Chalamet has a lot of respect for Austin Butler!

While chatting with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans about working together in the upcoming movie, “Dune: Part II,” the two co-stars shared their first impressions of each other.

“I just heard, literally, weirdly, just amazing things about Austin from those artists and producers,” Timothy shared. “But then, you know, you meet someone that through fate, through the fate of the script, you know you have to work with them. This is not just an amazing talent, but a great person.”

Adding, “From the first table, Zoom, I was just blown away, you know? This is exactly what the role requires.

Austin responded to Timothy’s comments by quipping, “I’m just shy here,” noting how much he respects his fellow actor.

“He knocked it out of the park. It’s great to see the transition from the first film and to see the maturity and the gravitas come out and you just have to knock the roof off it,” Austin told Access Hollywood.

And the support between the co-stars didn’t stop there!

During an Access Hollywood sit-down with Zendaya and Florence Pugh, the stars also gushed about Timothy’s work in the highly anticipated sequel.

“He is an incredible actor. I think he’s growing in this moment, at the same time, in this role as well. And I think that’s his tone and his appreciation for what’s going on. And his respect for love in this movie is what really makes him feel so perfect for this character,” Florence shared.

“Dune: Part II” hits theaters March 1.
