Transcript by OP
He's a 20-something privileged white guy who's (quite bafflingly) gotten an extraordinary number of accolades for some solidly mid acting. For years, people have been acting like he's some kind of rising star when he's merely Shia LaBeouf 2.0.
We might be witnessing his fall from the weird pedestal he never earned.
There's a reason why the saying "God, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man" exists.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-18 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)Then again I know nothing about this guy, so if he's having some sort of mental breakdown I wouldn't know.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-18 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)But I wish I had seen him acting in something that really blew me away. Because I keep hearing what a generational talent he is, and he's just... Good? I hear he's amazing in Marty Supreme, but even after I watched the trailer for it last year, I had no interest in seeing it.
I mean, Ping-Pong? Really?

(Anonymous) 2026-01-19 02:53 am (UTC)(link)Shia himself was a rising star until he was called out for plagiarism. It still boggles my mind that he more or less got away with it. Was able to try to rebrand. He's spent his entire career since working on projects, getting caught up in his bullshit, and the cycle continues.
LMOA He definitely is a good example of what the confidence of a mediocre white guy looks like.
For Timothee Chalamee, IDK I'd have to watch more projects he's worked on to decide on whether or not I think he's a good actor or just an overhyped mediocre white man.
I try to keep in mind that just because I don't like how some people present themselves doesn't mean it's an indication on whether or not they have talent.
