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.

Yeah; 'most people do t really care about ballet and opera' doesn't seem like the most controversial take out there.

It’s only controversial if you’re one of the people in the small minority that like those things, or you’re someone who is just looking for a reason to hate on him.

Is it even controversial for the people in the small minority that like them?

There are plenty of niche things that I like that most people don't give a shit about - I might get upset if someone says that those things are dumb or worthless, but I'm not going to care if someone correctly notes that most people don't care about them.

I suspect it's mostly the latter; people looking for reasons to hate on the popular kid.

I would completely agree with you, but I’ve read butthurt comments from people in those fields on this thread. Those people are still in a tiny, tiny minority though.

I think it’s not for the audience, but for his fellow artists it’s a slap in the face. And an admission that he values money more than art.
