Hollywood megastar Timothée Chalamet has drawn attention to Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal, urging him to “dream big”. The actor accompanied his message with an iconic photograph of the young Yamal alongside Barcelona legend Lionel Messi, using the footballer’s image to promote his new film Marty Supreme, Idman.Biz reports.
Chalamet shared an image of Yamal wearing the signature Marty Supreme jacket, adding the caption “Dream Big”. He also included in the same post the famous photo taken in 2007, showing Yamal as a baby next to Messi. The image has long been symbolic and regularly resurfaces in the media as a vivid reminder of the path a young talent can take.
Lamine Yamal has followed his own journey through La Masia and made his first-team debut for Barcelona at just 15 years of age. Today, he is already being called one of the main heirs to the Messi era, with his achievements pushing him beyond a purely football audience and turning him into a global sports icon.
Interest in Yamal has also extended beyond the football world. Chalamet, the star of films such as Dune and Wonka, highlighted the rapid rise of the Spanish footballer’s career as an inspiring story for millions. Marty Supreme, based on the life of American tennis player Marty Reisman, is set to be released on December 25, with Yamal’s involvement in the promotional campaign forming part of the film’s global rollout.
It is worth noting that Lamine Yamal himself seeks to distance himself from constant comparisons with Messi, aiming to build his own legacy. He already has La Liga and European titles to his name, and experts believe he could realistically contend for the Ballon d’Or in the future.
