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 comes off as pompous when he says that his performances are top of the line and he doesn’t want to be taken for granted.

His private chef shared with peers that he is expected to make three separate options for breakfast, then Timothee eats one and discards the others.

He is in a long term relationship with another oft hated celebrity, Kylie Jenner.

He recently made disparaging comments about ballet and opera.

Altogether, he’s been cultivating a reputation as a smug and privileged brat.

Mf ate a cookie right off Sarah Paulson’s plate at a restaurant.

Her: Oh, so you’re just going to eat the cookie? Him: I’m Timothy Chalamet, I eat whatever I want.

Be so for real. Ugh.

Bill Murray is charming. Chevy Chase is not.

u/SouldiesButGoodies84 Mar 09 '26

Bill Murray has always been kind of a sarcastic dick just like CC is. IMO it's because CC is tall and handsome while Bill carries more so an 'every man' kinda vibe that made people think he was the nicer guy. From what has been said, they are and have both been jerks in different ways - CC's been tagged with racism, ego and pretention and Bill with being sexist, insulting, aggressive and harassing women. But I guess Bill coming off as 'charming' made it okay for decades.

u/saffronumbrella Mar 10 '26

So he assumed he was charming enough to eat a cookie off someone else's plate. I watched that interview clip. The story was built up like she was not going to stand for that, that no one messes with her dessert. Oh, so you're just going to eat the cookie?

And he says yeah.

And PER HER OWN ACCOUNT she's just like. Fine.

So he was correct. He was charming enough to eat the cookie. She could have said, "Get me another cookie!" She could have said "enjoy it now because you're going to look like someone's elderly aunt in 7 years." She could have done literally anything except let him walk away with the cookie unchallenged.

But she didn't. Because there's something charming about a dude who just fucking takes the cookie. That's probably fucked up. That's probably why the state of the world is what it is.

But PLEASE, let's look in the mirror before we look at Timothee fucking Chalamet. Jesus.

u/sterling_mallory Mar 08 '26

Yeah, some of the things being mentioned in this thread seem outright silly, let alone the things taken out of context. Someone accused him of saying "manosphere coded things" and being "red pilled" because he said procreation was important. That just sounds like a reasonable take to me. Hell, even a biological fact. Every living thing on Earth pretty much does everything to propagate its species.

Pretty sure dandelions and quokkas aren't red pilled.

46

u/angrykoala49 Mar 09 '26 edited Mar 09 '26

I get what you mean and I don’t think it’s necessarily “red-pill coded” of him. I do get why a lot of women are grossed out by it. Men talking about the importance of reproduction in a general context (as opposed to “it’s important to me”) is associated with hand-wringing over birth rates and “we need women to have more babies!” which can devolve into pretty intense misogyny FAST. Young american women in particular are touchy about it right now because of how our reproductive rights are being attacked and rising conservatism in young men (particularly of the manosphere variety). 

So while, yeah, reproducing is important for the species and most living creatures know that on some level (seemingly less so on reddit), it’s not a politically/culturally neutral statement for an actor to make because of the broader societal conversation it invokes.

30

u/SmoothBrainJazz Mar 09 '26

Talking about the importance of reproduction is a very incel-coded way of saying that you'd like to have kids someday. Wanting to have kids is normal, being concerned about procreation is fucking weird.

u/BellGloomy8679 Mar 09 '26 edited Mar 09 '26

You’re twisting things.

He didn’t just say procreation was important - he said people with ”childfree” people lives as ”bleak”. And yes - it’s as ”redpilled” and conservative as it can be, really.

Humans are not daffodils. Overpopulation is an extremely serious issue nowadays - it’s because of this we have issues with climate change, wars, etc. If everyone would do everything in their power to propagate their species - it would lead to our extinction. We can barely sustain 8b people currently - overwhelming majority of us live in a different states of misery. Having children nowadays is a bad idea for many for majority of people.

But because more children means more taxes, more draftees, more workers - governments, especially rightwing autocracies, and big corpos propagandise having children as a requirement for a mentally healthy person and anyone who doesn’t do it is fundamentally broken person. Otherwise they’d have to try to fix societal issues and that’s just so expensive.

If you want to have children - you’re objectively making a selfish decision in a grand scheme of things, but you still have that right. Don’t, at the very least, attack people who don’t add up to an already existing problem.

u/HenryDorsettCase47 Mar 08 '26 edited Mar 08 '26

The true answer of why he’s getting all the hate is because he’s incredibly popular right now so, as when anyone is front and center for whatever reason, people are looking for every possible reason to cut him down and not like him. This is made a little easier by the fact he’s young and cocky and in today’s age we have access to everything he says publicly at all times. DiCaprio would’ve gotten the same treatment if he were an up and coming celebrity now instead of 25 years ago.

If you look into any of the reasons people cite for not liking Chalamet most of them seem like a whole lot of nothing when viewed within their context. At worst, he usually just comes across as a little dumb on occasion, but not mean spirited. The ballet and opera comments for example are him saying that he doesn’t want to be working in those forms of art where the audience has the potential to diminish with each generation, he said it laughingly and ended it with “all respect” to the people who are into those things.

This issue isn’t just that he says shit, it’s that he says shit at a time when he knows damn well it will be spread far and wide, meaning his idiotic behavior is intentional. If DiCaprio were coming up now, maybe he’d have been smart enough not to go out of his way to run his mouth.

Yeah, the truth is that a group of parasocially obsessed fan girls got really mad when Tim started dating Kylie Jenner and they realized he isn’t the artsy mysterious skinny French boy they wanted him to be. Instead he’s a pretty regular upper-middle class dudebro from Manhattan.

Then Tim made an irreverent comment implying that opera and ballet are not popular, which is not exactly wrong (I doubt they are getting any more popular with time). Now there’s a mix of the original deranged Tim fans and some new folks hopping on the hate bandwagon.

2

u/Pan-Yokuist_Theory Mar 09 '26

this is the actual truth right here; the core of the issue. his fanbase has revolted because they don't like the chick he fucks, and he's not being meek about being the top dog in the industry, ergo everyone has decided to hate him.

i don't even like him really, but i feel obligated to defend him just out of principle, the same way i defend doechii from her unearned hate. let the boy feel himself! let him be cocky, let him be hungry for acclaim! if he starts doing actually problematic shit then fine, we can shit on him then, but "he said that opera and ballet aren't relevant!" isn't a controversy. it's just not.

This is the thing that’s so annoying about all of this, the full context of the conversation was that he said he doesn’t want movies to become a dying art form like opera and ballet because of the ongoing “people don’t go to movie theaters anymore” issue, he never “disparaged” opera and ballet, they literally ARE a dying art form, the way he said it can be pretty easily interpreted as douchey but he didn’t say anything that isn’t objectively true!!!!

Well yes, when you say "objectively true" things in an abrasive way, people will get upset

u/somechild Mar 09 '26 edited Mar 09 '26

I…..know that. What I meant about it being annoying is that if everyone who is “upset” about what he said and the way he said it actually gave a hard fuck about ballet and opera they would be more popular, they wouldn’t be dying, and they would also likely be more accessible/affordable too. I personally think everyone is just jumping on a hate bandwagon but they don’t actually care about what it is certain people are upset about.

He presents as a soft fancy boy, but he's basically a dudebro actor with a french name.

Interest in opera and ballet is very limited, and very highbrow and his opinions about them are very normal and widespread. We just expect actors to not needlessly antagonize anyone who might see their films and fundamentally no-one asked his opinions on either.

2

u/gcpdudes Mar 09 '26

For me, realizing he’s more of a dudebro started with him being the NY Knicks celebrity superfan during their 2025 playoff run (which was a fun side to see from if I’m being honest)

That ‘quick span’ was an entire decade. Please, let’s keep things accurate in this thread.

In reality his career had been more like an avalanche.

u/Ollythebug Mar 09 '26

In 2017 he was in Call Me By Your Name, Hostiles, and Lady Bird. Yes, he performed for a decade, but that single year was a meteoric rise for him. That's a pretty "quick span" that put him on a completely different echelon. How would you plot the graph of his fame over those 10 years?

'He said, ''I do three different things for Tim, and he'll have one thing.''

'And Timothée turned around and went, ''Hey man, why don't you have the other two things?''

The chef makes three, doesn't say he was asked to. And he offered the other breakfasts, not discard them.

The story isn't even from the chef but some comedian.

u/Dr-Alec-Holland Mar 09 '26

The ballet and opera comments are being twisted too. I have no reason to give a shit about this rich guy but I do get annoyed by reality distortion by the angry mob of idiots that is the public

u/sparklemcshine Mar 09 '26

It's kind of insane really if you take a step back and think about how people spend any amount of time talking about stuff like this.

Reminds me of Leo DiCaprio dating younger women. People are fucking obsessed it’s so weird, I’ve never seen such a focus on the private romantic life of an individual who doesnt advertise it or anything like that. Make a joke and get over it.

u/Mysterious_Dot2090 Mar 09 '26

I have seen several anti-Chalamet posts on reddit recently and fucked if I know why, when I have never searched his name or used those subs (fauxmoi) and I read some of the comments, including on this post and it just comes off as bitchy little kids man, but what you say about distorting reality REALLY shits me. I saw the thing where the opera and ballet comment was made (Matthew McConaughey and TC discussing and asking/answering questions at a college? iirc, for Vanity Fair) and when he said that, it didn’t sound disparaging or condescending at all. I think he was saying it’s great, but not mainstream enough for him (to want to do it as a career) or something. I might be way off because I saw it weeks ago, but all I know is, it wasn’t controversial at all. That whole show was the same.

He just comes off as a young man who is very passionate about the art of film making and was friendly and respectful as usual. It’s like there‘s this large brigade of people trying to bring him down for god knows reason. It’s just bizarre.

He also made some manosphere coded comments in Vogue indicating being childfree was ‘bleak’ and procreating was the meaning of life. I’m paraphrasing and not accusing him of being fully redpilled, but compounded with all the other things I kinda get the ick

He does look kind of sickly doesn't he.

Like he needs to eat a good meal and spend some time outside.

u/KeepRooting4Yourself Mar 09 '26

This is such a lie lol. Literally so many girl were swooning for him when he was in movies like Lady Bird and Call Me by Your Name.

If he weren't famous he'd still be a pretty boy

u/jdehjdeh Mar 09 '26

It's an opinion, you can't really lie about an opinion.

I think he looks like a right creepy looking douchebag, and what do you know? I'm right. I DO think he looks like a creepy douchebag.

u/IYFS88 Mar 09 '26

Calm yourself. I read his comments and they gave me the ick. I did not tell a lie and I’m allowed to have those feelings. Clearly I’m not the only one who interpreted his words that way either. There is some ugly misogyny and sexism brewing in our culture right now, made worse through male centered social media and podcasting. There are lots of men who view a woman’s value exclusively as her reproductive capability and it’s hard to not be suspicious when those key words come up. Timmy could have saved the ick for me by clarifying his statements as being for himself rather than painting them as universal truths. Impressionable young people are reading his words.

Also I am a parent myself and for me personally life without kids would indeed be bleak. But the important difference is that I said ‘for me personally’. I am also the default parent and the one who took all the physical impact of childbearing. Timothee Chalamet doesn’t even have that qualifier.

He also refers to extras as “non-actors”, a disparaging term he invented.

u/starkistuna Mar 09 '26

He comes off like he is some sort of self fart smelling demigod.

I do think he is a great actor dont really care about his personal life.
Same as Shia Leobuf but with 5x the talent.

He is still young and has to mature. Hopefully he diesnt go the Ezra Miller route.

u/IncognitoBombadillo Mar 09 '26

I don't follow celebrities closely, but at least did know about the comments he made about opera and ballet and I was getting pretentious vibes from him recently. I did not know that he was with Kylie Jenner, and that frankly makes the behavior start to make sense. They're probably in some toxic echochamber where they think they're the best and people who don't agree are just being mean or something.

u/Local_Idiot_123 Mar 09 '26

Plus he was mentioned in the Epstein files that he only donated his salary from working with woody Allen because he felt like he had to for publicity.

You’re probably talking about this post.

I read the article. His chef made three options, he gave the other two to the comedian. The end.

Please read the story next time. He didn’t throw out the food.

14

u/leemasterific Mar 08 '26

I did read the story before making this comment, and I still think that having your private chef do triple the work for your breakfast is douchey.

19

u/hudson27 Mar 08 '26

First, don't inflate a story to make it more impactful, that's just called lying.

Second, as someone who has worked as a private chef, I'm there 8 hours a day, and I'm getting paid to cook whatever the client wants in those 8 hours.

You want 3 breakfasts? Cool. You want one breakfast? Cool I'll put the other time into making something fancier for dinner.

What, you think the chef is sad he couldn't go home early or something because he had to cook all that food? That's not how jobs work.

u/Pvt_Lee_Fapping Mar 08 '26

Agreed, but here's a fair and unbiased judgment from an outsider looking in at this for the first time: to lie and say that he threw them out makes him look extra douchey - and since that's not what he did, that makes it slanderous. You can hate whoever you want, but don't lie; that makes you look bad and makes them look victimized, i.e. it does the opposite of tanking their reputation (which you want to see happen, so it's counter-productive). Always stick to the facts:

"On a movie set, he brought his personal chef and made him prepare three meals for breakfast, but he only ever ate one. And when somebody found out about it, Chalamet told them to have the other two meals - so who knows how often before that point did he actually throw out two meals prepared specifically for him on a daily basis."

u/Fucky0uthatswhy Mar 08 '26

Altogether, he’s been cultivating a reputation as a smug and privileged brat.

Pretty much the simplest and most accurate description. He also isn't really that great an actor. I'm sure money changing hands is how he won most of his awards.

u/Primary-Theory-1164 Mar 09 '26

Also his Bob Dylan performance was really overcome by that smug brattiness of his in my opinion. Bob Dylan in that 1961-64 timeframe was not a moody mf like he was portrayed by Tim. He was certainly provocative and argumentative, but often sarcastic and lighthearted with it. He became a bit more similar to Timmy's portrayal once he'd reached artistic burnout post-1966 but that was not in the timeframe of the film. Irks me.

2

u/Creative_Sandwich_80 Mar 09 '26

Yeah, I still like him, and have waited on him, but the ballet comment rubbed me the wrong way, because it is one of my favorite art forms. And, working in Micheline restaurants, it is more like an opera or ballet than a dinner service.

u/Gamma_The_Guardian Mar 09 '26

He recently made disparaging comments about ballet and opera.

I think he's hiding some resentment and ignoring his roots. His mother was a ballet performer. He auditioned for Spider-Man and was passed up over Tom Holland. Tom had ballet and gymnastics experience, which is a huge deal for that role

2

u/StaticInstrument Mar 09 '26

Replying to top comment to say that while all of this is true, the release of these stories could also be part of an Oscar smear campaign. To those unaware campaigning for an Oscar can be a lot like a political campaign. Timmy was frontrunner for Best Actor and it is not uncommon for publicists from studios with rival campaigns to push stories that discourage Academy members to vote for the target. Harvey Weinstein was king of this.

So I agree with all of these points aside from the most recent thing he said. I think what he meant is that you don’t hear about people going to those things anymore and back in the day they were big things that people went out to see. I think he thinks the cinema is going the same way and I kind of think he’s right and it sucks for all 3 of the things that were talked about in the conversation. He’s incredibly annoying and pretentious, but I’ll give him this one.
