There is always considerable curiosity about the details of the commercials released by Apple. Probably because they are always so carefully architected, with the use of songs and actors that spark immediate interest. It has already happened many times, for example, with the song on the iPhone 14 commercial or the Airpods in 2022. In 2023, Apple released a commercial for Apple TV+, and the actor playing in it is a recognizable face of modern cinema: Timothée Chalamet. Let’s discover who he is, where we have seen him, and also the song you hear in the ad.
