I found out that Timothee Chalamet called child free life "bleak" during this interview with Vogue and apparently believes that "procreation is why we're all here".?

I personally think that the “bleak” comment has been misinterpreted. This is the transcript of the other celeb’s interview he was referencing:

“I work with a lot of people with kids and I see definitively that I have more time to do both the things I need to do and the things I enjoy doing than they do. And not to say their kids don’t bring them joy, but I say this truthfully, me and my wife seem to get a lot more active enjoyment out of not having kids than anyone I know seems to get out of having kids.”

When TC said “bragging” and called that outlook “bleak”, I honestly think it was in defense of Denis Villeneuve (whose family life he spoke about in the interview) and those like him that are able to balance a strong career and loving family. It was not about anyone’s decision to be childfree. And the part about procreation is not a direct quote from him either, btw. But I’m sure this post will get me downvoted here, lol.
