Timothée Chalamet Dreams of Landing an Apple TV+ Role in Funny New Ad: 'Hey, Apple — Call Me'

Apple TV+ rolled out a similar campaign starring Jon Hamm last year, and the actor will be on season 3 of The Morning Show

Timothée Chalamet feels left out.

On Friday, Apple TV+ released a new ad campaign starring the Oscar nominee, 27, as he watches a variety of the streaming service's most popular and award-winning releases in recent years — and ponders why he hasn't landed a role there yet.

"I was in two Best Picture nominees last year," the Dune actor says as he and a friend are shown watching Academy Award-winner CODA in a movie theater.

Later, Chalamet is shown scrolling through Jennifer Lawrence's movie Causeway and Selena Gomez's documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me on an iPad as his car drives by adoring fans, forcing him to wonder why he does not have his own doc on the platform.

The ad also shows the actor considering a turn to television roles as he affirms he could star in Apple TV+'s recent hits Ted LassoSeverance and Black Bird: "I guess I could do prison," he says.

Chalamet's Dune costar Jason Momoa later FaceTimes in for the new spot as he says he finished production on his own Apple TV+ series Chief of War, forcing Chalamet to realize seemingly every star in Hollywood has a role on the streaming service except him.

Wait, you have a new Apple show?" Chalamet asks Momoa, who replies, "At this point, who doesn't?"

Yeah, I mean, who doesn't at this point? Like you just said..." Chalamet replies.

Back in January 2022, the streaming service rolled out a similar ad campaign starring Jon Hamm as he, too, questions why Apple TV+ had not yet recruited him for a role. Hamm, 51, has since landed a role on the upcoming third season of The Morning Show, alongside Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston.
