But this is not new to the actor. At the recent Wonka premiere in Los Angeles, Chalamet revealed his current favorite game, Red Dead Redemption 2. The third installment in the action-adventure Red Dead franchise released in 2018. Despite being fashionably late to the game, Timothée Chalamet expressed his enjoyment in gaming. He even pondered the fate of Arthur Morgan at the end of Epilogue One. And at some point, even wondering if he makes a return in Epilogue 2.
Now, Chalamet recently presented the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards, where Baldur's Gate 3 emerged victorious. Notably, the actor has been involved in prominent gaming crossovers. With Fortnite featuring Dune skins in 2021 and his character Paul being added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as a DLC operator.
