Timothée Chalamet has added another feather to his cap!

The Complete Unknown actor, who is hitting one after another milestone, has achieved a remarkable milestone again, becoming the youngest actor to receive two Oscar nominations since the legendary James Dean.

At just 29 years old, Chalamet has solidified his position as one of Hollywood's most talented young stars.

Chalamet has been nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in the film A Complete Unknown, followed by his previous nomination in 2018 for Call Me By Your Name.

Dean, who was posthumously nominated for East of Eden in 1956 and Giant in 1957, was only 24 years old at the time of his nominations. He died in a car accident at 24 in 1955.

Besides his Oscar nomination, Chalamet is also set to host Saturday Night Live (SNL) this weekend, where he will also serve as the musical guest.

Prior to Dean, the only other man to earn two nominations in the leading category in their 20s was Mickey Rooney.

At just 19 years old, Rooney received a Best Actor nomination for his role in the 1939 musical Babes in Arms.

Four years later, at the age of 23, Rooney earned his second nomination for The Human Comedy.
