Dune star Timothée Chalamet says he doesn't care if he's called "a try-hard" for caring about awards: "I'm the one actually doing it here"

Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides in one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, Dune Part 2.

Timothée Chalamet has reiterated his feelings towards awards following his highly talked-about speech at the SAG ceremony earlier this year, saying that he doesn't care if people call him a "try-hard."

Back in February, after winning the SAG Award for best actor thanks to his performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, he said: "I can't downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me, and I know we're in a subjective business, but the truth is I'm really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats." A week later, Chalamet lost to Adrien Brody at the Oscars, as the actor took the Academy Award for The Brutalist.
