Despite regularly working alongside Hollywood greats like Luca Guadagnino, Greta Gerwig and Martin Scorsese, there are people who question Timothée Chalamet’s staying power, and the recent trailer for Wonka isn’t doing him any favors. While his support with the general public is wavering, some trusted power players in the industry have dispensed valuable career advice to the young actor. Leonardo DiCaprio once gave Chalamet two tips for maintaining a long career: “No hard drugs and no superhero movies.” As he’s successfully evaded the MCU, Chalamet has now shared another bit of advice he got from none other than Tom Cruise. As a part of his GQ cover story, Chalamet revealed that after wrapping up Dune, the Top Gun actor sent him a “war cry” of sorts. He recalled Cruise’s inspiring email, which included a list of stunt trainers to help him master the craft before going into Denis Villeneuve’s highly-anticipated sequel. With the way Hollywood is operating, there might just be a Mission: Impossible prequel in our future.
Meanwhile, Kathleen Turner recalled some advice that the late Suzanne Somers gave her in the form of a gift. After working on the John Waters cult classic Serial Mom together, Somers gifted Turner a signed ThighMaster. The gift wasn’t a slight at Turner’s appearance but rather a testament to Somers’ sense of humor. The actress told PEOPLE that she “laughed so hard” and that Somers had a gift of making everyone around her laugh, too.
The Three’s Company actress isn’t the only one with that gift either — the timeline very much has it too. Today’s funniest tweets include those about an injury straight out of Looney Tunes, a budget that would make Suze Orman proud and a Little Monster who needs a little psychiatric help.
