Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya made a guest appearance on the February 28th broadcast of tvN’s program “You Quiz on the Block” as part of their promotion for the new movie “Dune: Part 2” in Korea.

Zendaya arrived on the set 20 minutes early to prepare for the shoot. Later, Timothée Chalamet appeared and gave a big hug to Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho. Jo Se-ho exclaimed, “He’s so handsome”, and Yoo Jae-suk added, “The two of them are real stars. I can feel their auras”.

Jo Se-ho introduced Yoo Jae-suk as “Jimmy Fallon of Korea” and called himself “Jack Black of Korea”, drawing laughter. When asked if they realized their popularity in Korea, Zendaya said, “I realized it as soon as I came out of the airport. I’ve never felt such a warm welcome”, expressing her gratitude towards Korean fans. Timothée Chalamet shared, “I received handwritten letters, bracelets, and Korean snacks from fans. I was also grateful to see the fans I met in Busan 5 years ago”. 

Yoo Jae-suk then asked about Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya’s friendship, saying “I heard you two are close friends”. Hearing that, the two actors immediately reacted, “No”. Timothée Chalamet said, “If I get closer to Zendaya, she will scold me a lot. They’re all kind words. But if we are a little bit closer, she’ll roast me alive”.

Timothée Chalamet also revealed a TMI, saying “I don’t talk to myself when looking into the mirror, but I squeeze my pimples. They all pop out and look really disgusting”, making everyone laugh with his extraordinary sense of humor.

In addition, Timothée Chalamet talked about how he became an actor. He said, “I was a movie fan and I went to the theaters with my mom a lot. Later, I failed many auditions and received a lot of criticism. In the case of ‘Dune’, I didn’t get auditioned and just paid for it”. Regarding his daily life, the actor said, “It’s boring. I’m serious. I don’t go outside”, adding “I play video games, watch the grass, memorize the scripts, go grocery at the supermarket, and make omelette”. Yoo Jae-suk was emotional when Timothée Chalamet looked at him and said, “I felt like meeting my lost brother”.

Zendaya also confessed, “I debuted on Disney Channel at the age of 13. I was too young to decide who I should become. I was just doing something fun”, adding “I’ve been acting since then and I’m very thankful that I’m still doing it. It feels like I’ve spent my whole life acting”. She added, “I was a little nervous today. Thank you for welcoming me warmly like this. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, such a precious and special experience.”
