Timothée Chalamet used to mod Xbox 360 controllers on YouTube

Is there anything the Dune actor can't do?

Dune and Call Me By Your Name actor Timothée Chalamet has revealed that he used to mod Xbox 360 controllers over on YouTube.

The admission came by way of an interview on YouTube itself, with Chalamet confessing his past hobby to Nate Hill.

“I used to paint mod controllers,” Chalamet said. “I would open them up and paint them and charge people $10.”

The actor said he made a whopping $30 total, and that each painted Xbox 360 controller took five hours to complete.

In the end, Chalamet’s parents made him stop the hobby as it was causing disruption to their household.

“My parents were like, ‘There’s spray paint all over the house’,” he said.

The internet jumped on Chalamet’s admission, tracking down his old YouTube channel: ModdedController360.

The channel has a total of three videos, each of which begin with Chalamet asking, “What’s good, YouTube?” He also offers a shoutout to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in one video, calling it the “best video game right now.”
