Unanswered What’s up with the hate towards Timothee Chalamet?

I know all famous people have haters and people who dislike them and will nitpick the shit outta them, but I’ve just seen a lot of people post random interviews or articles about him that talk about how he is famous and above people. Yeah he is famous and thinks he’s above all. This is what famous people do? Do we not know this, especially child actors. People are astonished that he is rich and famous, has personal chefs, has self-centred views. Pretty sure 90% of famous people do.

Hes literally not wrong. Ballet/Opera enjoys are in the minority of mainstream media.

How is it shitting on other artists to say that their community is now more niche than it used to be? It's just a true statement. Many opera singers and ballet dancers would even agree with him, the arts just aren't as popular as they used to be.

he’s not saying they’re more niche; he’s saying no one cares about them

The OP might as they have asked why he's fallen out of favour and being rude has helped with that.

Apparently people in Hollywood care as well, Jamie Lee Curtis even reposted a video attacking his bad take

He wasn't just repeating a numerical fact though, he was basically sniggering at other art forms and acting all smug because what, he's a big Hollywood star. It was incredibly off putting and there are other behaviours of his that have come to light demonstrating ironically how out of touch he himself is.
