Kid Cudi, the star and creator of the new Netflix television special Entergalactic, reveals the funny reason he chose to cast Timothée Chalamet: 'With Timothée, I was just like: ‘Oh man, it would be funny if he was, like, my weed dealer.''
Entergalactic creator Kid Cudi reveals the funny reason he chose to cast Timothée Chalamet. An original and immersive animated story executive produced by Kenya Barris, Entergalactic recently debuted on Netflix. It follows Jabari as he does his best to balance his quest for love and success. He seems to take a step closer to love, at least, when he moves into his dream apartment. It gives him a chance to meet Meadow , a photographer and his new neighbor.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The trailer for Entergalactic previewed its impressive and immersive visual style, while also highlighting the voice cast. In addition to Cudi and Williams, the special also features the voices of Vanessa Hudgens, Keith David, Macaulay Culkin, Laura Harrier, and Jaden Smith. Chalamet, who is known for his leading roles in Call Me By Your Name and Dune, plays Jabari's best friend, Jimmy — with a significant asterisk.
“Ty Dolla Sign and Timmy just looked like they would be two of my homies. We would just all kick it. With Timothée, I was just like: ‘Oh man, it would be funny if he was, like, my weed dealer. You know, like, with a Caesar [haircut]. Just changed his whole situation and make him a whole other dude.”
Entergalactic Plays Off The Friendship Of Cudi & Chalamet The friendship between Cudi and Chalamet has manifested on-screen before, as the two have collaborated on Saturday Night Live. They've also been part of the Don't Look Up ensemble. Chalamet also had a blinking quick cameo in the HBO series We Are Who We Are from Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino, which featured Cudi in a major role.
Entergalactic, originally planned as a television show, has garnered great reviews. It's clearly a personal project for Cudi, who says he got emotional at its completion. The casting, especially for an animated work where the voices can add or subtract so much, is a reflection of that. Hopefully, down the line, Cudi and Chalamet will get the opportunity to share the screen in a live-action drama or comedy that builds on their off-screen bond.
