Chalamet Reveals DiCaprio Text: ‘He Fried Me Today’ in Lucid Motors Ad
Timothée Chalamet shares a spicy DiCaprio text moment as he stars in Lucid Motors' high-speed ad with Hart and Brunson.
Chalamet is front and center in a new Lucid Motors campaign that pairs him with New York Knicks stars Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson. In a high-speed interview filmed inside the Lucid Air Sapphire, the actor is put under the hot seat as the car hits turbo speed and questions fly fast.
The moment fans are buzzing about comes when Chalamet recalls the last text he received from Leonardo DiCaprio. The actor says DiCaprio playfully teased him about a new hair look, texting, I heard they shaved your head. Say it ain’t so!
While the speed-drenched ad chews scenery, Chalamet also names his acting GOATs—Denzel Washington, Christian Bale and Joaquin Phoenix—insisting he’s more “playing against myself” than comparing to others. He notes that his career feels like a personal race, where the goal is to outdo his own best work rather than chase someone else’s standard.
The campaign underscores Chalamet’s switch into the Marty Supreme era, with buzzed hair making headlines in Saint-Tropez and beyond as he promotes the Josh Safdie-directed project. Lucid touts the car’s “0 to 60 in 1.89 seconds” pace, a nod to the electric sedan’s performance and the star’s fearless, fast-cut energy.
Overall, the ad blends celebrity camaraderie, high-octane visuals and playful pop culture moments, giving fans a rare peek at how even a Hollywood favorite can keep things light, sly and sincerely stylish.
