AceShowbiz - Timothee Chalamet got into a little accident during a recent shooting. The actor has slammed into a camera, causing it to break into pieces while filming a perfume commercial in New York City.
On Wednesday, April 19, the Oscar nominee was filming an ad for Chanel Bleu fragrance called "Vertigo". In a video shared by digital creator Michal Blank, the 27-year-old walked out of a building and joined two actresses, including Stephanie Kurtzuba, as he headed straight to a car while a camera came closer to capture his shot.
But it appears that there was a miscommunication because the camera collided with Timothee. Thankfully, the "Call Me by Your Name" star didn't seem to be injured, while the other two actors looked a bit shocked by the accident.
Meanwhile, Timothee, who was dressed in a long-sleeve black polka dot shirt, remained cool and picked up a piece of the machinery that had broken off as a result of the impact.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," said Stephanie while rubbing his back, with some viewers of the video speculating that she may have pushed him, while others said the camera "ejected towards him." Timothee appeared to assure her as saying, "It's all good."
Martin Scorsese is directing the commercial, which is also starring his 23-year-old daughter Francesca Scorsese. A representative for the actress confirmed to The Post that she was the other actor who appeared in the scene with Timothee.
Reacting to the video, some fans expressed their concern as writing, "That looked like it really hurt!!" and "Oh no!!! Ouchhhh." Another joked, "Surprised he didn't snap in half with his frailness."
"Timothee is method acting as a 'whacky waving arm flailing inflatable tube-man,' " someone quipped, while another praised how Timothee remained calm after the collision, "He was so chill about it." Someone else joked, "Kardashian Curse," referencing his dating rumors with Kylie Jenner.
