Charles Melton earns praise from Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore for his performance in “May December”

Charles Melton has already won numerous accolades and nominations for his performance in the new Netflix film, “May December.” Charles is also winning genuine praise from his Academy Award winning co-stars, Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore.

"You never know what reaction there's gonna be but it was a privilege to get to watch him up close in his first major, you could tell that this was gonna be the first of a big, important career. He was so prepared and so focused, and so in the character, and showed up with a real confidence but humility and kindness as a human,” Portman said. "We were like, 'Oh he's like the best person to work with and he's a brilliant actor!' So it was just clear, you never know how other people are gonna respond but you knew that this was a major actor."

“Right,” Moore added.

Charles recently won Outstanding Supporting Performance at the Gotham Awards, and he’s nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor (Motion Picture).
