It has not waned even by accident. What? The controversy that has been in the news for the past few months, especially around Oscar time, concerning the “good” Timothée Chalamet. We think you all know the situation a little bit. The context was an event organized by Variety and CNN in February, at which the Dune and Marty Supreme actor conversed amiably with fellow actor Matthew McConaughey. The topics? Anything. Even talk about the ballet and theaters? Eh, unfortunately, yes…
“I don’t want to work in ballet or opera, where they tell me, ‘Hey! Let’s keep this thing alive, even if no one cares anymore.'” These were the incriminating words spoken by Chalamet that, in response, mobilized theaters around the world, in a social “revolt” in which the historical value and importance, even today, of those institutions was claimed. Water under the bridge has passed, but evidently these words have not been a dead letter.
Because another great star of the film world has recently returned to the issue, expressing her opinion. We are talking about Charlize Theron, a wonderful performer who in the last few hours has spoken out against her colleague to the New York Times, saying, “Oh, my goodness, I hope to meet him someday.” “Dancing is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Dancers are superheroes,” says Theron, who goes on to reiterate.
“It was a very thoughtless comment against an art form, or rather two art forms, that we need to constantly support because, yes, they are going through difficult times,” the actress continues further. Who then closes the question in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner: “In 10 years AI will be able to do Timothée’s work, but it will not be able to replace a person on a stage dancing live. And we shouldn’t denigrate other art forms.” Who knows if there will ever be a meeting between Theron and Chalamet, but on closer inspection the South African actress has several arguments to bring to the Marty Supreme star.
