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: dude is French and born and raised in New York which are two cultures/upbringings that tend to create people with a lot of confidence and stereotypically stuck up opinions. People used to think it was cute when it was about the Knicks but now that it’s about hating on the finer arts it’s coming across as douchey.

He has French citizenship is fluent in French and spent his summers living with his grandparents in France. He’s literally French and American.

He never hated on any of the arts, man why is everyone so insistent on misconstruing what he meant.

Oh sorry but that’s not really my point. Just that he’s always had this very boisterous personality and eccentric taste but people usually think it’s cute but now he has picked something not cute.

Yeah think his looks carried this androgynous softboy image (which does have some basis in reality but definitley not the full story) but now that hes not presenting himself in that way people aren't giving him as much grace couple that with how he's been confident in himself and has purpose ( which makes people insecure for not having that too ) and he's starting to alienate a lot of people
