Harry Styles Interviewed Timothee Chalamet And Asked About That Peach Scene

Timothée Chalamet is i-D Magazine's new cover star and the rising actor was interviewed by none other than Harry Styles for the feature, which surfaced on Thursday (November 1). Besides their talk about art and politics, the two also went into the famed peach scene from the former's smash film, Call Me By Your Name.

Asked if he can still eat peaches, Chalamet offered up a laugh with hesitancy and admitted that he can "but not without thinking about it." Styles went on to confess that he has a hard time not thinking about the famed scene where Chalamet's character finds, erm, pleasure in a peach. "That's the most awkward scene to see with your parents in the whole world. My poor father," Chalamet said, to which Styles responded, "I'm sure he’s done it too. You’re close with your family, right?"

It's an open dialogue that leads the conversation to toxic masculinity and all the power that comes with being vulnerable. "I didn't grow up in a man's man world. I grew up with my mum and my sister. But I definitely think in the last two years, I’ve become a lot more content with who I am. I think there's so much masculinity in being vulnerable and allowing yourself to be feminine, and I'm very comfortable with that," Styles told Chalamet, before confessing that it's easier to embrace masculinity in so many different things nowadays.

Chalamet went on to call Styles' perspective "beautiful and inspiring," especially in all the chaos and madness. "It's almost a high to be vulnerable. I really get that. I think it can be achieved in art, but also in intimacy. It’s the craziest feeling to achieve that vulnerability," he continued. "If us having this conversation, in any infinitesimal way, can help anyone, a guy, a girl, realize that being vulnerable is not a weakness, not a social barrier. It doesn’t mean you’re crazy or hyper emotional, you're just human, which I think is something your music gets at and hopefully my movies do too. Humans are complex; we need to feel a lot of things. We are not homogeneous."
