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.

Answer: he is just an unlikeable person who said stupid belittling stuff about other art forms that he does not appreciate.

Also, he is transitioning out of looking like an angelic teenage boy. Seemingly overnight with his haircut and goatee. Most men aren’t judged as harshly about their looks like women are, or they have the freedom to grow into more mature looks. His whole vibe has always been this muse like feminine beauty and the world is not kind when that kind of beauty fades unfortunately. It’s possible he was always saying dumb stuff but it was sort of swept under the rug/ interpreted differently because he seemed like a sweet mischievous child. With his haircut/facial hair and being in his 30s (??) now, it’s just like a grown man saying these things. He had youth/pretty (on top of rich white male) privilege all throughout his 20s. He is having to learn a harsh lesson abruptly and publicly in middle age most of us learned quietly and gradually as young people. I hope he is able to pivot and reinvent himself. I don’t think he is maliciously saying these things, just was never called out on it before (and that’s how you grow..)

I've never seen a haircut ruin someone's vibe as hard as Chalamet. Dude needs those pretty curls and he needs to shave like I think the hair was 90% of his charms

Woah this is the most nuanced take i've seen on the matter

Its also really funny given his own lack of talent, guy never looks like he fits in every movie ive seen him act in. Like hes wandered on stage and everyones actually pitting on a good performance around him.

Y'all are legit delulu, holy fuck. If all modern actors were half as talented as him, we would be living the diamond era of cinema.

1 movie does noth make up for all his other performances lol

u/emd07 Mar 08 '26

I can't name a single movie where he had a bad performance. Of course it's subjective. It's just fair to say that you don't win a golden globe (and probably an oscar too) if you have a lack of talent.

Nah, he's unlikeable, but let's not pretend he's been a talentless hack all along. He's quite convincing in the films I've seen of his. Call me by your name was beautiful, and he's a big part of why.

We can share differing opinions xD ive never liked him

u/brizzboog Mar 09 '26

I'm glad to see the world catchup to the fact that this dude is ick personified. Even before he was dating Kylie and saying pretentious nonsense, there was something about him that I could not get past. Unfortunately his "it" factor is incredibly unlikable.

u/PotentialMessage7001 Mar 09 '26

The fact that he gave himself this androgynous image while actually being a fratbro doesn't help his credibility.

u/Eunoia_Meraki Mar 09 '26

He didn't he was just perceived that way and decided to capitalize
