Timothée Chalamet really, really loves The Office

Chalamet is a huge fan of The Office, so he was a bit starstruck when he ended up playing the son of Steve Carell and Amy Ryan—The Office’s dynamic duo of Michael Scott and Holly Flax (later Holly Scott)—in Beautiful Boy. He actually kept his fandom a secret while they were filming. “I didn’t want to weird him out,” Chalamet told W Magazine. Carell only found out about Chalamet’s Dunder Mifflin obsession when they were promoting the film.
