As Timothée Chalamet campaigns to win a best actor Oscar in March, the ⁘Marty Supreme⁘ actor may have to contend with being the latest boldface name to have potentially embarrassing information about him revealed in the Epstein files. The email was sent to Epstein from his good friend, powerhouse Hollywood publicist Peggy Siegal, who also described Chalamet as her ⁘good friend.⁘ After Chalamet worked with Allen on the film ⁘A Rainy Day in New York⁘ in the fall of 2017, he began promoting his film ⁘Call Me By Your Name,⁘ which also involved a public-relations campaign to score his first best-actor Oscar nomination.
