‘This is the hair of every boy who has ever quoted Rimbaud at a party’
Fresh off his Dalston fuckboy monk hairstyle in the trailer for the upcoming adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henriad plays, The King, Timmy Chalamet’s hair is back at it again and this time it’s channelling everyone’s favourite pretentious second year English Lit student.
The hair in question appears in the first trailer for Greta Gerwig’s much-anticipated Little Women film which was released yesterday. The eighth cinematic adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel, Little Women follows the journey of four sisters (here played by Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and, Eliza Scanien) coming of age in the aftermath of the American Civil War.
Chalamet takes the role of Laurie, the roguish boy next door and hopeless romantic, and his French-poet-in-a-windstorm hair is causing people a lot of strong feelings. Journalist Rachel Syme summed it up best when she tweeted: “This is the hair of every boy who has ever quoted Rimbaud at a party.” Many people agreed with Syme, contributing their own encounters with lit-quoting individuals.

This is the hair of the guy who drunkenly mansplained Waiting for Godot to me. "They keep waiting for Godot, but then Godot, like, never comes." pic.twitter.com/rZfnNfkwP3

Others were mesmerised by the perfection of Timmy's luscious locks, taking both inspiration and pleasure from the windblown mane.

Meanwhile, TV critic Jen Chaney was so overcome she was ready to start campaigning on behalf of the hair.
