Watch Timothée Chalamet Laugh Off Intense On-Set Accident

Actors are able to tell beautiful stories with just a few lines of dialogue and stunning camera work, but sometimes acting can also be a full-contact sport. Just ask Timothée Chalamet, who recently learned what happens when a camera gets a little too close for comfort.

The Dune star was on set in New York City filming a commercial when the scene didn't go as planned. As he burst out of a door into the street, he ended up running directly into a camera. The accident was so intense that the force of the impact could be heard from the sides of the set, causing several people to gasp and his co-stars to stare in shock. Chalamet, for his part, seemed to laugh off the mishap and even picked up a piece of the camera rig that was knocked off after crushing into his chest.

TikTok user @mickmicknyc shared the accident on the platform, where it has since garnered over 71 million views. Check out the video below.

While some commenters expressed sympathy for the mishap, such as a couple who said "I just know bro wanted to cry" and "that must've hurt," others took a more lighthearted approach, such as a user who wrote, "The camera was like 'OH MY GOD TIMOTHEE CHALAMETTTT." A couple commenters joked about how costly the accident may have been, saying, "that sounded expensive" and "ooopsie. That's $30k right there."
