Hollywood A-lister Timothée Chalamet has sent fans searching for updates on Susan Boyle after publicly declaring his admiration for the Britain's Got Talent icon. The 29-year-old actor, promoting his new film Marty Supreme, was asked by the BBC who he felt encapsulated British greatness and named the 64-year-old Scottish singer.
Chalamet's Heartfelt Tribute to a BGT Legend
Timothée Chalamet recalled being deeply moved by Boyle's viral 2009 audition, where she defied expectations with a stunning performance of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables. "She dreamt bigger than all of us," he stated. "Who wasn't moved by that? I remember that [clip] like it was yesterday. That was like the advent of YouTube, you know."
Despite initial scepticism from the judges, Boyle's audition became a global sensation, propelling her to stardom. Although she didn't win the competition, her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, released later in 2009, became a phenomenal success. It sold over 10 million copies worldwide, securing its place as one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century.
Susan Boyle's Life and Career in 2025
So, where is Susan Boyle today? The singer remains in the public eye and has undergone a notable style transformation. She now sports a bright blonde bob, a dramatic change from her original short brown crop, which she showcased at this year's Pride of Britain Awards.
More importantly, she is actively working on new music. Just one month ago, Boyle shared a photo from a recording studio, teasing fans with the message: "Just finished another lovely day in the studio and feeling grateful and excited for what's coming next!" This follows an announcement in April 2025 that she was developing "some wonderful new projects" after a period of rest.
Exciting Future Plans Announced
Fans eagerly awaiting a follow-up to her 2019 album have more to look forward to. Boyle has confirmed a major career first: she will perform at a festival. In December 2025, it was announced that she will be a special guest at the Summer's End Angus music event in 2026. She joins a line-up featuring The Feeling, Gok Wan, Bonnie Tyler and The Jacksons.
The news of her recording sessions and festival booking has delighted her loyal supporters. Reacting to her studio post, one fan wrote: "Thrilled you are recording again! Sending love and prayers your way." Another echoed the sentiment of millions, commenting: "When I saw you on BGT, I literally cried, Susan! Your voice is such a gift, thank you for sharing it."
Timothée Chalamet's unexpected fan confession has not only highlighted the enduring impact of Susan Boyle's story but has also shone a fresh spotlight on her continuing musical journey and exciting plans for the future.
