Kevin O'Leary, the star of 'Shark Tank', has nothing but positive things to say about his 'Marty Supreme' co-star, Timothée Chalamet. The seasoned entrepreneur, who also knows Chalamet's mother, revealed to 'People' at the BAFTAs that the 30-year-old actor has not let fame change him and remains focused on his work.
O'Leary, who has recently won both the Critics Choice award and a Golden Globe for his role in the new film, described Chalamet as "a very well-grounded" person. "He's a very normal guy," he praised. "I've met his mother. I spent time with her in New York and we had a great time. He's focused on work and doesn't mess around until he's got it nailed down," he continued.
"I think that's a good attribute. He hasn't let any of the stardom stuff affect him at all. He's the same guy I met at the beginning. Eight months later, he's still the same guy," O'Leary added.
Furthermore, O'Leary called Chalamet a "great actor," revealing that for his role as a ping pong player, he went for method acting. "I certainly saw what a method actor is like. That's not how I work, but that's how he works. And I think he was fantastic," he noted.
O'Leary also shared a rare insight into their bond, revealing that they bonded over their shared love of watches. "He's a big watch guy. So am I," he shared. "We have a lot of fun with watches … we talk about them all the time," the entrepreneur gushed.
