Timothee Chalamet Blasted By Chelsea Handler For Bragging About Himself
Chelsea Handler is piling on Timothée Chalamet, calling out the actor for talking himself up a little too loudly during the press tour for Marty Supreme, the film that’s currently got him in the Oscar conversation. Chalamet has been drawing attention not just for the movie — inspired by a real-life underground ping-pong hustler in 1940s New York — but for his over-the-top promo antics, including showing up dressed head-to-toe in orange and rolling with entourages wearing giant ping-pong-ball masks. Subtlety took the week off. The real backlash came after a viral interview where Chalamet praised his own “top-of-the-line performances” and called his recent work “some top-level s*.**” That didn’t sit well with Handler, who weighed in on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. Handler said Chalamet is “a great actor,” but added that it’s “hard to hear someone talk about how great they are at acting.” When asked if he’s taking himself too seriously, she didn’t hesitate — saying he seems laser-focused on winning and being acknowledged. She contrasted his approach with Leonardo DiCaprio, agreeing that Leo would never speak about himself that way. In her words: “Leo is a movie star. He wouldn’t talk like that.”
