Timothée Chalamet used to modify -apkrig gamepads
The young actor Timothée Chalamet has recently received particularly great attention thanks to the release of the long-awaited film Dune, in which he plays the leading role of Paul Atreides. No wonder, then, that Chalamet is torn apart and gives one interview after another, especially on the topic of Dune, or other and upcoming projects, such as the film about the young Willy Wonk. However, in one such interview, there were games and it was confirmed that little Timothée tried years to push through his own modifications to the Xbox 360 drivers, which he also presented on his YouTube channel. And that was the subject of frequent speculation.

The YouTube channel called ModdedController360 was founded on February 17, 2010, and the first video was published on the same day, in which a boy shows and describes his creation in the form of a Christmas-tuned controller in red and green. This video will add two more in March 2010, but this will stop the channel’s activity. After a few years, however, theories and questions arise as to whether the boy in the videos, whose face could not be seen due to the angle of the camera, was Chalamet, and the fans launched a perhaps absurdly detailed search.
In 2018, they focused on the beginning of Chalamet’s acting career and decided to compare the voice from the videos with an episode of the series Law and Order, where in 2009 he edited his first significant role. However, this did not provide 100% evidence. More interesting was the finding that the video from the ModdedController360 channel was among the favorite videos of another Chalamet YouTube account. Another search focused on the background in the videos and comparing the furniture in the room with childhood photos that Chalamet shared on his Instagram. At the same time, a scar on the finger is visible in the videos while manipulating the controller, which also coincides. The identity of the boy behind the ModdedController360 channel was even addressed by Aric Toler of the Bellingcat investigative group, who otherwise deals with war crimes cases, who confirmed to Vice that he was indeed little Timothée, following a similar procedure as before. fans.
Even before the release of this conclusion, however, Chalamet himself confirmed his past as the creator of the modified drivers in an interview with YouTuber Nate Hill, in which he and Zendaya talked about both Dune and his collaboration with Denis Villeneuve, as well as their experience with gaming. Chalamet mentioned that he owned a Nintendo GameCube and recalled games like Luigi’s Mansion and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 later failed, while Zendaya held The Sims. He then boasted that years ago he had taken off the three Xbox 360 drivers that can be seen in the video. He managed to sell all three for $ 10, but the start-up business stopped him with his parents, who did not like spraying them at home. So the career did not last long, which fortunately cannot be said about acting. The rest of the conversation was also in the spirit of the game, as Hill offered the young actors a first look at the performance of their characters Paul and Chani in Fortnite, whose skins were added to the play on the occasion of the launch of Dune.
