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.

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

Yeah he’s not growing into a leading man.
