Timothée Chalamet and Ansel Elgort had a mini-high school reunion at the Oscars


When you graduate from a famous performing arts high school, it's fitting to run into your old classmates at the Academy Awards.

Best actor nominee Timothée Chalamet, of Call Me By Your Name, and Ansel Elgort, who starred in the Oscar-nominated Baby Driver, made sure to meet up during the ceremony, with Elgort snapping a photo and posting it on Instagram for posterity. Chalamet, 22, and Elgort, 23, were both students at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in New York City, studying under the same drama teacher and playing on the same basketball team. If they're doing this well five years post-high school, imagine what it will be like at their 10 year reunion.
