Timothée Chalamet called out for saying “I don’t want to be working in ballet, or opera, or you know things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though it’s like no one cares about this anymore. All respect to the ballet&opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership…”

character limit in title so here is the rest of what he said with the ballet and opera quote:
“…I don’t want to be working in ballet, or opera, or you know things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though it’s like no one cares about this anymore. All respect to the ballet and opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason”
He is unbearable lol.
Ballet and opera outlived empires I think they’ll survive this take.
I can’t express to you how sick I am of this little dweeb. He really thinks he’s better than everyone else. I’d hate to spend even 5 minutes around him, truly insufferable.
I think this is very shallow of him, truly. Art is art, in whatever form it takes. Ballet dancers and opera singers spend their whole lives training to perform in these types of fine art, that combines not only dancing and singing but also storytelling and theater. Also, he is spitting on the foundations of film – theater, the most basic form of dramatic storytelling, that has existed for thousands of years, and endured and evolved, maintaining its relevance, always.
Sounds like a very ignorant thing for him to say – AI is not coming for their jobs, Timmy. Maybe you should inform yourself of the AI actors that your buddy McConaughey loves defending and funding.
EDIT: also, ballet and operas are not “more relevant” because they’re expensive. In Lisbon, my city, in the summer, there are free opera concerts in the square in front of the main opera house. It is ALWAYS packed. People care a lot, actually.
he’s also probably not the target audience for ballet or opera shows so no harm done there
Why is the audience lit like the ghosts of people they’ve killed.
Anyway, he’s exhausting.
He’s such a little twerp, he really lacks any self awareness and his ego is out of control. What kind of artist looks down on other art forms? Especially ones that require extensive training and dedication like ballet and the opera? With the way AI is going he’s more likely to be out of a job before them! Ugh, I can’t stand him.
what a wild take from someone involved in the arts…
I mean he can’t sing and can’t dance, why would he be working there
Mind you his grandmother, mom and sister were ballet dancers…
He’s a bit of a dick isn’t he…..Full of himself..
He seems like such an asshole lol
Sorry, but I hope he loses that Oscar.
What a little shit. Arrogant and insufferable
so tired of this filfthy little brat
Bitter little rat boy
They should do a VEEP style show about all the teams that have to have crisis meetings because their clients said this kind of dumbass shit.
I have never seen the appeal of him. I find him terribly overrated. I find Sandler’s work in Uncut Gems far superior to his in Marty Supreme. I miss Heath Ledger. Gosling is a star and despite all his cult faults, Tom Cruise is the last of the true movie stars. He would never!
My opinion of this dude dropped SO quickly the last year or so. I went from not really caring about him, but thinking he was pretty okay, to getting annoyed every time I see his face. He seems very egotistical, shallow and entitled.
As a European, I used to laugh hard at his hardcore fans who have always assumed he’s an intellectual, an old soul, sophisticated, a gentleman. Most white European men are the opposite of this. Ignorant, racist, vulgar, narrow-minded and insufferable. Especially the rich ones. Don’t let the white twinks with a posh last name fool you.
This man is not particularly smart, is he
hint: actors are dumb
I saw somebody say that he treats acting and movies overall like a sport, something you have to be the best at, have the most audience, the ranking, the recognitions, the awards etc. Rather than acknowledge that it’s all an art, just like ballet and opera, and he has no respect for them because he doesn’t view his own work as art, it’s just a competition.
Timmy come on man
Christ, he gets more insufferable by the day.
Oh Timmy
Why does he keep talking
Don’t worry big boy, AI is going to make your job irrelevant too
🤮
He says it like it’s an option. Honestly, I don’t get the appeal of this dude.
The part about people wanting to be entertained fast could have been interesting but he had to be a jerk instead and shares this take on ballet and opera.
The more I watched interviews of him, the more I understand why he’s dating the Kardashians.
If he wasn’t an actor he would be an incel
i love the ballet and opera, as someone who has grown up in the arts, boooo, why do so many treat film as so much better than theatre??? theatre is where i learned to do what i love like
why does this medieval shoe keep talking.

Interesting choice to disparage art forms that traditionally have a lot of female-centric roles and shows, especially ballet. 😬
Proud to say I’ve been a long time hater of this Pinocchio looking lil boy and his wiry douchestache
Timmy seems like such a douche…
I thought he’s half-French? France won’t forgive such idiocy.
The Kardashian girlfriend makes perfect sense now.
