2. Timothée Chalamet isn‟t the only famous Chalamet in Hollywood —
the Dune actor has an older sister named Pauline Chalamet, who also
acts.
The born and raised New Yorker is one of the stars of Mindy Kaling‟s
hit Max series, The Sex Lives of College Girls.
While she and her brother are both accomplished actors, success has
not affected their relationship. “It has nothing to do with either of us.
He didn‟t choose that. I didn‟t choose him as a brother; he didn‟t
choose me as a sister,” Pauline told Vanity Fair in 2021. “So it feels
normal, but because it doesn‟t impact our lives at all. It doesn‟t impact
our relationship.”
The famous siblings are supportive of each other‟s careers. Pauline
previously told Vanity Fair that she is “in awe of the work” her
brother‟s work, and that Timothée “has come to almost every screening
of a short film I‟ve written or directed or acted in.”
So, who is Pauline? Here is everything to know about Timothée
Chalamet‟s sister.
She is older than Timothée

3. Timothée is younger than his sister. Pauline was born in January 1992,
while her brother was born in December 1995.
During an interview to promote Little Women, Timothée spoke about
his sister being his best friend and having an “incredible relationship”
with her now. However, he also shared that growing up, she‟d put his
shoes in places he couldn‟t reach.

4. Pauline even had a photo of herself pulling his hair as her desktop
photo. The Call Me by Your Name actor recalled, “She made that her
desktop picture, so every time I went in her room it was like I was
suffering on her screen.”
She grew up in an artist colony

6. Pauline grew up in an artist colony in New York City. “It was a very
special place to grow up, in retrospect,” she told Julie Bowen on The
Ellen DeGeneres Show. “While I was growing up there, I think I was a
little overwhelmed by the fact there were many different types of
performing artists that lived there, and you would be hearing singing
and dancing.”
Speaking to Vanity Fair, Pauline said a love of art “was in my family,
and it was also really in the building in which I grew up,” adding, “It
was always there.”
She used to do ballet with Sarah Hyland

7. When she was a kid, Pauline did ballet with Modern Family star Sarah
Hyland.
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Timothée‟s sister shared, “We would
go together for pizza a lot after ballet or before, and she actually taught
me that I could put parmesan cheese on top of my pizza. I didn‟t know
that until Sarah.”
She went to Bard College

8. Pauline studied at Bard College in New York, where she double-
majored in political studies and theater and performance. “I became a
really good student at Bard and I fell in love with learning,” she in
2021. “I cannot say I liked going to Bard. For me, I think it was very
small. I felt money pressure. I really felt you needed to have a certain
amount of money to be there.”
She added, “I was dating a boy at the time who was a photographer and
so sweet, and I really credit him with why I stayed. I had this shift

9. around sophomore year, where I was like, „I‟m either making the most
of this or I‟m leaving.‟ “
On the red carpet at the 2018 Critics Choice Awards, Timothée
revealed that his sister “changed her major at college” because of
director Greta Gerwig. Pauline agreed, saying, “Yeah.”
She is an actress

11. Pauline plays Kimberly on The Sex Lives of College Girls, which
debuted in 2021.
When news of his sister‟s role was reported in 2020, Timothée
celebrated by sharing a screenshot of a Deadline article about the cast
on his Instagram Story. The proud brother tagged Pauline and added
applauding emojis.
Prior to starring on the Max series, Pauline had a role in Judd Apatow‟s
2020 movie, The King of Staten Island.
Pauline wasn‟t always certain that she wanted to be an actress. “I did
and I didn‟t. I went about it in many different ways,” she said on The
Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I had a long path to getting where I am.”
Timothée loves his sister’s show

12. Pauline‟s younger brother is a fan of The Sex Lives of College Girls.
“ My brother loves it,” she told E! News in 2022. “You‟ll have to get the
story from him, because I believe he did watch it with one of my
parents. So that is that.”
Timothée‟s big sister speaks both English and French.
Pauline told Interview Magazine that it was difficult pretending she
didn‟t speak French for her character in The Sex Lives of College Girls.
“There was an accent coach on set for the people who spoke French.
She heard me try and put on [a] bad accent and started to work with

13. me,” Pauline said. “It was interesting to learn which words are difficult
if you don‟t grow up speaking the language.”
She is musically talented
Not only can Pauline act, but she can sing and play the piano. In 2020,
she posted a video of herself singing a song in Italian.
“It came to me from my childhood and probably started with
musicals,” she told L’Officiel in 2021 of her passion for music. “Because

14. in fact, when you go to see a musical, there are the scenes that are
acted and then, it‟s like there‟s a point when acting and speaking are no
longer enough and you have to go through singing to communicate
with the person in front, and that, I liked. That was a bit of my
discovery of music.”
The actress shared that she takes “enormous pleasure in making and
listening to music” because it relaxes her.
