Meet the most ambitious crossover event in cinematic history.

Judging by Close’s Instagram, she met the Beautiful Boy star at the Hollywood Film Awards in November. “Timothée is as adorable as he is talented!†she captioned. “We took these pictures for Grace VanPatten. Timothée always looks very glam & cool.†Van Patten and Chalamet both attended La Guardia High School in New York City; Van Patten had a supporting role playing Close’s cynical granddaughter in the 2017 comedy The Wilde Wedding.
