Timothée Chalamet has demonstrated that he still remembers how to crank that, and a ton of Brazilian fans were thrilled.
On Friday (Dec. 5), the star of the upcoming movie Marty Supreme took part in a panel about the film at CCXP, the giant pop culture festival in São Paulo, Brazil.
During the panel, the actor showed off his moves, doing the dance Soulja Boy introduced to go along with his 2007 debut single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." The dance, for those too young to remember, became an international sensation at the time.
As it turns out, this is not the first time Chalamet has dusted off those old moves. He did a similar thing a year ago on an episode of The Broski Report, leading host Brittany Broski through the dance. He also described Soulja Boy as "a true artist, a groundbreaker, a generational defining talent."

During the CCXP panel, Chalamet talked about the people who "inspired me to become an actor," citing Denzel Washington and Leonardo DiCaprio specifically.
With moves like the ones he demonstrated at CCXP, it's no wonder that Chalamet landed at number three on Complex's list of The 30 Celebrities With the Most Aura Right Now, Ranked.
"One moment, he's delivering an award-winning film performance; the next, he’s being that one earnest, goofy-but-cool theater kid everyone knew growing up," the list explains. "His aura comes from that duality."
The list also called him "an unapologetic product of the 2010s," which no doubt explains his mastery of the "Crank That" dance.
