Well, technically, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson aren't seated inside a high-speed electric vehicle from the Silicon Valley-based technology company, but they are seated while grilling the Marty Supreme star as he speeds around the Las Vegas Speedway with a professional driver. The teammates and Roommates Show podcast hosts quiz Chalamet on a range of subjects, including his picks for greatest actor, greatest villain, best red carpet fit (not his), greatest Knick and greatest person to get an out-of-the-blue text from.

Courtesy of Lucid "Timothée, Josh and Jalen show that greatness comes from pushing boundaries," said Akerho "AK" Oghoghomeh, Lucid's senior vp marketing. "Each of them brings a unique drive to challenge the status quo, mirroring the spirit and passion of our work at Lucid. This collaboration is about celebrating shared ambition and redefining what's possible." The video opens as Collins hits the pedal hard to achieve a high speed, as Chalamet quips, "My balls shot into my chest," as Hart and Brunson burst out laughing. Then comes the question as he's asked whether "greatness is something you chase or you recognize it once you've reached it?" "Neither, I think you just spend your whole life in pursuit of it, and I think you achieve it in fleeting moments, and it's really in the eye of those who evaluate you, at least in what I do," Chalamet answers. "I know for what you guys do, it's really clear when you have a great night, when there's more wins in the win column than losses. For what I do, I feel like I'm just playing against myself." Brunson asks Chalamet to specify the difference between being good and great. "No one's gonna unlock the best version of yourself but you. No one would know how to. Daniel Day-Lewis said to Jeremy Strong, to embark on a role seriously is to be willing to be foolish. What I do can be really silly at times," he said. He's then asked if there's anyone in the craft currently that causes Chalamet to say to himself, "Damn, I need to step it up." His answer: "I have felt like that at times, but hopefully I'm doing that to other people." As for those other answers, which Chalamet fired off during a rapid round, he cited Michael Jordan as the greatest athlete, Hart or Carmelo Anthony as the greatest Knick, Denzel Washington as the greatest actor of all time, Christian Bale as the "second GOAT" and Joaquin Phoenix as "the strange GOAT," Heath Ledger as the Joker as the greatest villain in film or TV, Matt LeBlanc's Chrome Hearts sling as the best red carpet fit, DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over" as greatest music video and Leonardo DiCaprio as the greatest person to get an out-of-the-blue text from. "He fried me today," Chalamet said of the Oscar winner. "He said, 'I heard they shaved your head. Say it ain't so.'"
