Heat waves, floods, water shortages, the rise of facism, Johnny Depp’s continued presence in Hollywood \u2014 everywhere you look, there’s something to make you feel like modern society is a hell from which we will never escape. Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Oscar nominee and future young Willy Wonka, captured this sense of impending doom during a recent press conference, declaring, \u201cSocietal collapse is in the air.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chalamet mused on the existential crisis that goes hand in hand with being a living, breathing person in 2022 during his appearance at the Venice Film Festival. He was there to promote the cannibal love story Bones and All<\/em>, which takes place in the ’80s, and said that playing a young man who lives in an age without social media was a unique experience for him. \u201cTo be young now, and to be young whenever \u2014 I can only speak to my generation \u2014 is to be intensely judged,\u201d Chalamet said during the press conference for the film on Friday, per E! News. \u201cIt was a relief to play characters who are wrestling with an internal dilemma absent the ability to go on Reddit, or Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok and figure out where they fit in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing his philosophical observations, the actor continued, \u201cIt’s tough to be alive now. I think societal collapse is in the air \u2014 it smells like it.\u201d I don’t know what the air smells like in Venice, but I’m willing to take Chalamet’s word for it.<\/p>\n
