Timothee Chalamet appeared to be in high spirits while meeting up with producer Ryan Friedkin in the Westlake district of Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.
The 27-year-old performer opted for a relatively casual ensemble as he strolled along the city’s busy streets and made the most of the cool winter weather.
The actor, whose girlfriend Kylie Jenner recently snuck into one of his premieres, wore a light blue hooded jacket and a pair of relatively loose-fitting pants as he stepped out with his friend.
Chalamet added a bit of extra pop to his look for the day with a pair of light pink sneakers.
The performer’s outing took place just a few days after his latest feature, Wonka, was released in the United States.

In the feature, the star of Bones And All portrayed the titular chocolatier as he attempted to carve out a spot for himself in the confectionery industry.
Willy Wonka was originally introduced in Roald Dahl’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was first published in 1964.
The character was portrayed by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp, respectively, in the 1971 and 2005 adaptations of the book.
In addition to Chalamet, Wonka starred performers such as Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key and Matt Lucas, as well as Hugh Grant, who portrayed an Oompa-Loompa named Lofty.
Development on the feature began in 2016, and performers such as Ryan Gosling and Donald Glover were originally considered as potential leads.
Physical production commenced in September of 2021 and continued at various locations around the United Kingdom.
The first screening of Wonka took place at the ShowEast convention, which took place this past October, and it was released in the United States last Friday.
The feature has since received positive reviews from critics and holds a rating of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Wonka has also performed well with audiences, and it has grossed just over $162 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
Chalamet spoke about working on the film during an interview with Vanity Fair, where he described it as ‘the most physically challenging project I’ve ever done.’
He added: ‘I can’t say the singing and dancing comes easy. I’ve been around musical theater my whole life, and danced a little bit in high school, but this was on a different level. It’s different doing it on film.’
The performer also spoke about the importance of positive entertainment, and told the media that Wonka was the kind of movie ‘that we need now, and it will leave a smile on your face.’
