Paul Atreides was played by Kyle MacLachlan in the 1984 version of Dune, and Timothée Chalamet in the 2021 remake, with key character differences.
When comparing David Lynch's Dune from 1984 with Denis Villeneuve's Dune from 2021, there are some immediate differences in the way Paul Atreides is portrayed as a character. In Lynch's version, he's played by Kyle MacLachlan in his first starring role, and in Villeneuve's version, he's played by Timothée Chalamet after several critically acclaimed roles in smaller-budget films.

8 Kyle MacLachlan's Paul Is Older In Dune 1984 Both Kyle MacLachlan and Timothée Chalamet were 24 when they played Paul Atreides, but Kyle manages to look a lot older, and could convincingly pass for a young man in his mid-to-late-20s. In Herbert's novel, Paul is 15 years old, and Timothée can pass for someone who's still in his teens.
6 Dune 2021 Is A Coming Of Age Story For Timothée Chalamet's Paul Since Chalamet's performance skews younger and truer to Herbert's novel, Dune becomes a coming-of-age story for his character. He transforms from an entitled teenager of a powerful house, expected to inherit a title from his father on a lucrative planet, to a young man who understands the meaning of sacrifice and selflessness by spending years out in the desert with the Fremen.
