\n\tTimoth\u00e9e Chalamet is riding shotgun for a new outing as part of his global ambassadorship gig<\/a> for Lucid, and he\u2019s brought a pair of New York Knicks<\/a> superstars along for the ride.<\/p>\n

\n\tWell, technically, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson aren\u2019t seated inside a high-speed electric vehicle from the Silicon Valley-based technology company, but they are seated while grilling the Marty Supreme star as he speeds around the Las Vegas Speedway with a professional driver. The teammates and Roommates Show podcast hosts quiz Chalamet on a range of subjects, including his picks for greatest actor, greatest villain, best red carpet fit (not his), greatest Knick and greatest person to get an out-of-the-blue text from.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hard Launch video \u2014 yet another example of how Chalamet continues to blaze an unexpected trail<\/a> when it comes to his promotional opportunities \u2014\u00a0dropped Thursday and positions Chalamet inside the award-winning Lucid Air Sapphire, the quickest four-door sedan currently in production. The clip marks the first time Chalamet, Hart and Brunson appear together in an ad for Lucid after turning in individual appearances on behalf of the automaker.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTimoth\u00e9e, Josh and Jalen show that greatness comes from pushing boundaries,\u201d said Akerho \u201cAK\u201d Oghoghomeh, Lucid\u2019s senior vp marketing. \u201cEach of them brings a unique drive to challenge the status quo, mirroring the spirit and passion of our work at Lucid. This collaboration is about celebrating shared ambition and redefining what\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe video opens as Collins hits the pedal hard to achieve a high speed, as Chalamet quips, \u201cMy balls shot into my chest,\u201d as Hart and Brunson burst out laughing. Then comes the question as he\u2019s asked whether \u201cgreatness is something you chase or you recognize it once you\u2019ve reached it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNeither, I think you just spend your whole life in pursuit of it, and I think you achieve it in fleeting moments, and it\u2019s really in the eye of those who evaluate you, at least in what I do,\u201d Chalamet answers. \u201cI know for what you guys do, it\u2019s really clear when you have a great night, when there\u2019s more wins in the win column than losses. For what I do, I feel like I\u2019m just playing against myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrunson asks Chalamet to specify the difference between being good and great. \u201cNo one\u2019s gonna unlock the best version of yourself but you. No one would know how to. Daniel Day-Lewis said to Jeremy Strong, to embark on a role seriously is to be willing to be foolish. What I do can be really silly at times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe\u2019s then asked if there\u2019s anyone in the craft currently that causes Chalamet to say to himself, \u201cDamn, I need to step it up.\u201d His answer: \u201cI have felt like that at times, but hopefully I\u2019m doing that to other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for those other answers, which Chalamet fired off during a rapid round, he cited Michael Jordan as the greatest athlete, Hart or Carmelo Anthony as the greatest Knick, Denzel Washington<\/a> as the greatest actor of all time, Christian Bale as the \u201csecond GOAT\u201d and Joaquin Phoenix<\/a> as \u201cthe strange GOAT,\u201d Heath Ledger as the Joker as the greatest villain in film or TV, Matt LeBlanc\u2019s Chrome Hearts sling as the best red carpet fit, DJ Khaled\u2019s \u201cWe Takin\u2019 Over\u201d as greatest music video and Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a> as the greatest person to get an out-of-the-blue text from. \u201cHe fried me today,\u201d Chalamet said of the Oscar winner. \u201cHe said, \u2018I heard they shaved your head. Say it ain\u2019t so.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet is riding shotgun for a new outing as part of his global ambassadorship gig for Lucid,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[57086,88,13725,2942,206,361,57100],"class_list":{"0":"post-330362","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-denzel-washington","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-joaquin-phoenix","11":"tag-leonardo-dicaprio","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-new-york-knicks","14":"tag-timothee-chalamet"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
