Timothée Chalamet’s mom keeps him grounded.
On Sunday, Feb. 23, the actor, 29, won the prize for best actor at the 2025 SAG Awards for his portrayal of playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Later, in an interview with Extra, he revealed exactly what his mom Nicole Flender told him after he accepted his award.
"She said, 'Don’t forget to fold your laundry,' and I was like, 'Really? This moment? Really? This moment I just won this award, and I’m 29 years old and you’re chastising me still,' " Chalamet said.
The actor added that his mom may have not been as surprised as he was to hear his name announced during the ceremony. "She might have won me this," he told Extra. "I grew up in an actors’ building in New York, so I know she really pushed everyone she knew to hit that vote button."

Chalemet, also nominated for a 2025 Oscar award, began his speech by thanking his mother, who was his date for the award show.
"I was not expecting this at all," he said. "I'll start by thanking my mother who I'm here with tonight. She has been working at Actors Equity for 40 years, the stage union."
The Dune star went on to note that he had prepared to play Dylan for five years alongside the movie’s director and co-writer James Mangold. "I poured everything I had into playing this incomparable artist, Mr. Bob Dylan, a true American hero. And it was the honor of a lifetime playing him,” he said.
Chalamet concluded by shouting out other performers, saying that he’s "really in pursuit of greatness."
He continued, "I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I'm inspired by the greats. I'm inspired by the greats here tonight. I'm as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis, as I am by Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there, so I'm deeply grateful to that. This doesn't signify that, but it's a little more fuel. It's a little more ammo to keep going."

Speaking with The Guardian in March 2022, Flender said she exposed her kids to the arts from a young age.
"I took them to see many different plays and musicals when they were growing up, and I think seeing certain performances influenced them," she said. "The productions they’ve seen and, even growing up in New York, has informed who they are today."
Chalamet has previously been nominated for several SAG awards over the years, receiving nods for his work in Homeland, Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy and Don’t Look Up. His win for A Complete Unknown marks his first win.
