She is the firstborn of Marc Chalamet and Nicole Flender, and Timothee was born three years later.

The French-American siblings have always been close and soon enough, they found themselves on the same career trajectory.

Her story, however, is quite interesting.

Their upbringing basically molded them for a career in the arts.

“Oh my god, so many names went through there: Tennessee Williams.

“I had so many great neighbours: musicians, opera singers, dancers.

It was just filled with them.”

She attended Bard College, where she studied political science and theater and performance.

(The show also starredRenee Rapp, although she exited the seriesafter brief appearances in Season 3.)

“The second I read the pilot, I was like, ‘I get this girl.

“I totally understood her.”

Chalamet is not only a talent on-screen; she’s a multi-hyphenate who co-owns the production company Gummy Films.

Co-creators Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble remember how tricky it was to keep it a secret on set.

They would slowly tell more people on set in various departments when their assistance was needed.

Noble continued, “And she was just so down and wonderful to work with the whole time.”

“Mindy does it all, so she was like, ‘Yeah, okay, no problem.

In a 2024 essay forVogue, Chalamet wrote about her demanding schedule as a working mother.

Her monologue is practically a metaphor for the absence of sleep with a newborn.

“I feel okay sleep-wise,” she wrote.

It’s so satisfying to pick the lint out of baby’s toes.

I wonder why as adults we don’t get as much lint stuck between our toes?

Is it because our toes separate more easily?”

The actor leaves passivity at home.

She feels celebrities should be more active in the political sphere.

“Billionaires do not need to exist,” she wrote (via theDaily Mail).

Having two famous children is a wild feeling that Marc Chalamet and Nicole Flender can understand.

It’s just as surreal for Pauline Chalamet, but fame has never affected her relationship with Timothee Chalamet.

“It has nothing to do with either of us.

He didn’t choose that.

“So it feels normal, but because it doesn’t impact our lives at all.

It doesn’t impact our relationship.”

Even so, Pauline is a fan of her brother in her own right.

Timothee is just as proud of his sister, especially in her mom role.

Timothee said he was excited about celebrating Christmas with the first baby in the family.
