Bones and All star Taylor Russell can’t stop gushing about co-star Timothée Chalamet.
Speaking to Collider’s Ladies Night podcast on Thursday, the 28-year-old actress shared that she and Chalamet clicked “immediately” when they first met on the set of the Luca Guadagnino cannibal romance flick.
Russell plays Maren, a young woman isolated from society to conceal her hereditary need to eat human flesh. Having spent the majority of her life on the outskirts of society, Maren soon meets someone who shares the same affliction (Chalamet’s Lee), and the two quickly fall into an all-consuming love affair.

Praised as a “dark, funny, and gory” romance, Russell says that you can thank the real-life creative chemistry for Maren and Lee’s on-screen connection.

This isn’t the first time Russell has raved about working alongside Chalamet — in fact, the actress had plenty to say about her co-star when she sat down for an exclusive interview with MovieWeb’s Matthew Mahler.
Though Russell is an experienced actress in her own right, she shared that Chalamet’s demeanor and prior experience working with director Luca Guadagnino helped the actor “be her light” while filming Bones and All.
“So I had a plethora of support, and you don’t always get an incredible support team, but I got that, and I’m really, really lucky for it.”
Bones and All is now playing in theaters.
