Washington [US], May 2 (ANI): The Italian cinema academy unveiled Friday that it will honour U.S. star Timothee Chalamet at this year's David di Donatello awards.
The Dune and A Complete Unknown actor will receive an honorary David award for 'cinematic excellence' at this year's ceremony in Rome, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
'Timothee Chalamet's European origins and American background make him one of the most unpredictable and talented protagonists of international cinema today, capable of being both an auteur performer and a star generating trends and styles,' said Italian cinema academy president Piera Detassis in a statement.
'The Academy is delighted to award him the David for Cinematic Excellence, which is meant to be an acknowledgement of the great actor of quality and innovative films, and, at the same time, of the global protagonist.'
Detassis shared that Chalamet's international breakout came 'thanks to a wonderful Italian film, Call Me by Your Name, directed by one of our most internationally acclaimed directors, Luca Guadagnino,' as per the outlet.
Chalamet has stayed loyal to Guadagnino and Italy, attending the Venice film festival for the premiere of Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part 1 in 2021 and again a year later with Bones and All (2022), a horror romance directed by Guadagnino and co-starring Taylor Russell. Both times, he set the Lido on fire, with wild crowds of fans along the red carpet screaming his name, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)
