Apple TV commercial: Inside the Timothee Chalamet 'Call Me' ad with Jason Momoa, other stars image

Apple TV brought out the heavy hitters for its recent television spot, enlisting the services of a pair of world-renowned actors in an effort to drum up interest for the streaming service.

Timothee Chalamet and Jason Momoa feature in the Apple TV+ commercial, "Call Me." The ad showcases a beleaguered Chalamet yearning for a chance to star in one of the platform's shows or movies. He sees a number of his former co-stars, including Jennifer Lawrence, Selena Gomez and Leonardo DiCaprio, nabbing lead roles on Apple's television subsidiary and looks desperate for a chance to show the platform what he's got.

Momoa, known for his roles on cultural touchstones like "Game of Thrones" and "Aquaman", doesn't make Chalamet's life any easier, bragging in a not-so-subtle way about how he, too, has an Apple TV+ show coming out.

The youthful Chalamet ends the commercial by asking Apple to call him, an open invite for the streaming service to throw him the dough and get him involved in some projects.

It's a light commercial, a stark contrast to some of the roles Chalamet has filled in over the years, and is nothing if not visually stunning.

Here's what you need to know about the commercial taking the country by storm.
