Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet let slip that he is a fan of one of the most famous names to come out of ITV's Britain's Got Talent, Susan Boyle.

His confession came during promotion for his upcoming film Marty Supreme after he was asked who he felt encapsulated British greatness. His answer was the 64-year-old singer, who had two US number one albums after her stint on the reality contest back in 2009.

"She dreamt bigger than all of us," Timothée told the BBC. "Who wasn't moved by that?"

The Scottish singer was initially dismissed by the BGT judges due to her appearance before she belted out a pitch-perfect performance of I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Misérables, blowing them away. The clip of her audition went viral online, with many hailing it an "inspiring" watch.

Despite not winning the talent show, her debut album released in 2009 - aptly titled I Dreamed a Dream - remains one of the most successful of the 21st Century, selling over 10 million copies globally.

Timothée, 29, went on to reveal: "I remember that [clip] like it was yesterday," adding: "That was like the advent of YouTube, you know."

The actor's reveal that he counts himself among the singer's fans has prompted many to rush to find out what she is up to today. So where is the star now, and is she still making music?

After her rise to fame she underwent a gradual transformation and now sports a very different look in 2025. Among the biggest changes she has made to her style is swapping her short brown crop of hair for a bright blonde bob which she showed off at this year's Pride of Britain Awards.

Susan is still very much in the public eye and announced just this month that she would be undertaking her very first festival performance in 2026 at the Summer's End Angus music event as a special guest. She joins The Feeling, Gok Wan, Bonnie Tyler and The Jacksons on the line-up.

Back in April this year she announced that she was working on "some wonderful new projects" after a period of rest, and just one month ago shared a photograph of herself recording new music in the studio. She teased: "Just finished another lovely day in the studio and feeling grateful and excited for what's coming next!"

She suffered a stroke in 2022 which left her unable to sing and speak properly. She said she "fought like crazy" to get herself back to being able to perform.

Fans of the singer have been waiting since 2019 for a new album, so the news of more music was well-received. One penned under the photo: "Thrilled you are recording again! Sending love and prayers your way," as a second fan chimed in with: "When I saw you on BGT, I literally cried, Susan! Your voice is such a gift, thank you for sharing it."
