Presenting our November cover star Timothée Chalamet
After filming Dune, Timothée Chalamet received a “wonderfully inspiring email” from none other than Tom Cruise—which included a Rolodex of all the experts he might need for stunt training, including a motorcycle and helicopter coach. “He basically said, in Old Hollywood, you would be getting dance training and fight training, and nobody is going to hold you to that standard. So it’s up to you.”

Presenting our October cover star, Chris Evans. Some of the things that the reluctant leading man has been contemplating lately include: humanity’s tiny place in our vast galaxy, autumns in New England, whether his dog realizes he’s famous, and how, well, maybe being a movie star isn’t the best occupation for a guy who’s so prone to thinking about absolutely everything.
Presenting our November cover star Timothée Chalamet
How is a beloved movie star supposed to grow up? As he reaches his late 20s, Chalamet is reflecting on the pivot from one phase of his life and career to another. “You start going on Instagram, seeing people from your high school getting married, friends having kids, and you start going: This balls-to-the-wall thing, even at this amazing level I’m at that probably couldn’t have gone better—you still start wondering, How long till you have to change?”
Presenting our November cover star Timothée Chalamet
In the cover story, Timothée Chalamet talks about how his “Dune: Part Two” co-star Austin Butler inspired his own work by challenging his commitment to acting. “He takes the work incredibly seriously,” he says. “And I feel like I hadn’t seen that among someone my age, whether it was in drama school or on set, that did take the work that seriously but then after ‘cut’ wasn’t, you know, in some show of how seriously they took it—and instead is this tremendously affable, wonderful man.”
Presenting our November cover star Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet reveals to GQ for the first time how he felt alone with his budding fame; literally isolated, with no one around who could understand what was happening to him. “I was out of touch with an in-touch life. And during COVID, it flipped, and I was forced to become very in touch with my increasingly out-of-touch life. It was not good for me.”

“I wrote this down in my to-do list—to be onna cover of GQ. I’m not even sh*ttin’ you. I wrote that down.” Presenting GQ’s February cover star: Barry Keoghan. He’s one of our most exciting actors—a combustible shape-shifter onscreen, a moon-howling dynamo off it. And he spent the last couple years achieving his Hollywood aspirations at an absurd clip.

How Jacob Elordi Became The New King
Playing Elvis, the most imitated man in history, would be daunting for any actor. But doing it a year after Austin Butler got an Oscar nomination for it? Even more so. “I don’t want to tell the same story over, especially because he did such a fine job of portraying this man. It’s a completely different thing. And it’s terribly exciting, too, running into the fire a little bit. I can’t think of anything more exhilarating.” Read Jacob Elordi’s Men of the Year issue.
