You don’t want to be entertaining for the sake of being entertaining. The work should be the work. If it resonates, it’s going to resonate, and then people are naturally curious about how you got to that destination. It can’t be about how you’re getting to it.

He expresses his excitement from to be speaking with Frank from the get-go. "This is so exciting. It is an honor to speak to you, man." he gushes. "I’m such a huge fan. This is going to be a real test to keep my voice level and keep this as normal of a conversation as possible [laughs]."

Timothée also shares his experiences while leading a life off of the screen. "I actually get more people stopping me for Lady Bird, and going, “Is that the douchebag from Lady Bird?” So that’s awesome. I’ve seen certain actors, or musicians like you, keep a sense of integrity and mystery."

He also tells Frank how the role of Elio set apart from other roles he was up for.  I was up for bigger, more commercial projects, but I didn’t get them." The Oscar nominee says.  "They just didn’t choose me, and it’s been gratifying, coming from more of a place of artistry and not just pure exposure."
