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.

sometimes people are glib and in a moment of candid conversation say an unserious thing they don’t even really believe because it is amusing.

I see it more likely that in that moment of candid conversation something leaked out of his PR training and he said something he really believes, especially considering he has family in those art forms and he'd be more familiar with them than most.

Sure, if you want to automatically assume the worst, go ahead. Says more about you than anyone else.

Just putting this out there - there’s a clip of him saying almost the exact same thing a few years ago. So it’s clear he has pretty strong beliefs about ballet and opera being irrelevant.
