“He couldnâ€t believe it. I knocked on his trailer door and I had ‘The Animal†theme song playing. I hadnâ€t met him and I was [doing the machine gun taunt]. The look on his face was priceless. He had no clue.â€

Chalamet also praised Dave for his acting prowess, noting: “I love working with Dave. Heâ€s a very serious guy. A very serious actor.â€
