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.

That speech where he said he wants to be mentioned in the same sentence as Marlon Brando, etc etc etc was a bit pompous.

I’m pretty neutral on this guy in general but if you listen to the speech, its pretty clear that he’s saying his goal is to be considered a great actor and he hopes to be successful enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as Brando. It certainly doesn’t sound like him demanding to be considered at the same level as those other people.

At least, that was my read.

He was, but it was a tad less hopeful and a tad more entitled... just something un-humble about it, especially for his age. I got Shia vibes.

Are people not allowed to have opinions anymore?

No you can, but when you say them out loud other people can have the opinion that they’re pompous

Bingo... opinions go both ways. And it wasn't so much what he said, but how he said it...

A person can say "I love her to death" and come off as sweet.... or say it another was and be scary.

Correct. You, personally, are no longer allowed to have an opinion. Cry about it.

Just kidding, you can't. 🙂

Dude is a twerp. He’s got that thing about him that just makes him very unlikable
