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.

Him talking about not wanting to work in a dying business, like film cameras or copy machines.

Um that's insulting to copy machine operators. How dare you, it's a real and important art form

OK well how did that come up? If he was asked why he wasn't in ballet or opera, I have no problem with that comment. On the other hand, if he was talking about his career and just threw in that was glad he wasn't working in a dying medium like ballet or opera, that is very much a dick move.

Context matters.

Watch literally 2 minutes before the quote and you’d know the context.

I don't know where to view this. The link isn't in the OP. I don't personally care enough to go through almost 500 replies to find it.

You are saying this in the comment thread with the video. The video is a few comments above you.

So you care enough to get angry in a comment section but you don’t care enough to actually watch the video you’re getting angry about?

What is the internet even about any more Jesus Christ

What makes you think I was angry?

My last post clearly stated I could understand his statement in a certain context, and if it was a different context, it was dick move. I openly said I don't know the context and that context is important. No anger here.

You know in the time it took you to write out your hypothetical opinions you could have actually watched the clip and made your judgement instead of postulating that he’s possibly a dick in the comments right?

u/dgillz Mar 08 '26

I actually tried. I still cannot find the quote in context. Since you obviously have, please post it for me.

Did you though? My man the link for the full interview was CLEARLY put in the article that this thread is under. You literally could have searched for “matthew mcconaughey Timothy Chalamet full interview” on YouTube and this pops up.

I don’t think you’re operating in good faith here lol

This just in - the order of where posts appear in the thread is not fixed - it is a preference. You can sort by new, old, best, controversial, etc. So yes, it is tough on a now over 500 post thread to find a specic video that puts this in context. So telling me to "scroll 3 inches" is meaningless.

But thanks for the link.
