I honestly don’t get the backlash. Opera is not a popular kind of entertainment and has drastically declined from its heyday. It doesn’t mean it’s not a respectable art and that opera singers are talented. He’s only saying he was worried cinema’s popularity was also in decline.
I wonder how many of the outraged people have ever given a fuck about opera. Guarantee it’s a minority

Opera is just minding its own business and Timmy comes in with the strays.
This interview further shows that he is acting for the attention and accolades. He is so shallow.

Y’all do know that you don’t have to pretend to suddenly care about opera to dislike him right?

Yeah, I don’t like how many comments I’ve seen blaming Kylie/the Kardashians for Timmy saying some ignorant shit. He’s an adult and responsible for what comes out of his mouth. The Kardashians may be a lot of things, but I sincerely doubt they’re brainwashing grown adults to go out and do dumb things on a world stage.

Under 30 years old here – I’ve seen far more opera, theater and ballet shows than his movies.

Yo. I don’t really care about Timothee. But what’s up with the sudden witch hunt and desperately hunting for new reasons to dislike him?
Like most of the reason makes him just kinda dumb and basic at best. But his basic boring opinions treated like the most outrageous things.
It feels so weird to see this. And people suddenly like opera now because Chalamet don’t like it?

It’s pretty wild how obsessed some of y’all are with tearing this kid down.

You know, I never had Chalamet down as an uncultured swine.

Theater is significantly older than Opera, and look how prevalent it is until this day. Many actors/actresses perform theater. Both artforms carry centuries of rigorous craft.

He is only interested in commercial art where he can get popularity and acclaim on a very public level.

I don’t like him but this post is so silly. Opera is old-fashioned and only a niche group of people watch/enjoy it nowadays.

He’s right. Cinema has been replaced by streaming platforms, as opera at his time had been replaced by major theatre and then cinema. Each of this form of art became more rare because of another form of art competing and easier of access. The rarety of cinemas (physicial place) makes the cinema (art form) elitist. But we need to keep fighting for cinemas to reopen again, cinema is important for critical thinking in a democracy

I think that this is pretty tame compared to what some other male celebrities has done.
