“Love Lil B. I met him at NYU. I had $50 from a commercial I did. I bribed a kid to give me his ticket. I was in there all alone front row to the right. I raised my hand, got called on by him, I told him I was gonna ask out my crush. He invited me onstage and he knighted me," Chalamet explained.  “He said, ‘That boy’s hand has been blessed.’ And from there, my acting career took off,” Chalamet recounted. “Thank you, Based God. I was struggling before that, I had just done Royal Pains and then I was nominated for an Oscar before I was 22. Shout out Lil B, nothing is possible without Lil B.”
