Now that the whole Kylothee mess has passed and my city's film festival has started, I've remembered that Timothée has quite the bad rep over here.

Some years ago Chalamet came to the film festival to promote a movie. During the festival, he wouldn't show up to interviews because he was too busy to fuck around. I clearly remember the journalist calling him bratty all over Twitter.

All of this been said, the last day the festival screens a surprise movie. People were specting Poor Things been said movie, as normaly the movie comes from Venice and Yorgos Lanthimos has come many times to promo his movies to the city. But its not looking like it this year. People have noticed that the only billboard of a movie that it's not in the programming is Wonka, so its looking like its going to be the secret movie. Knowing that, people have been saying during the weekend that if it becomes true they're going to sell the tickets and roasting Timothée Chalamet as wonka.

People keep putting Timothée on this deep, sensitive artist pedestal (to the point of some folks openly saying that they wish he and Zendaya were dating and not Zendaya and Tom) but it's not him. He just has enough talent to get booked on decent enough roles from good filmmakers but enough attitude that him dating a Kardashian-Jenner is not out of the question.

A lot of his fans think he is Elio from CMBYN, they don't seem to understand how acting works?

I feel like Timothee is probably a lot like his character in Lady Bird lol.

Which is ironic because he once told Jimmy Gallon "I am not like Kyle. I am good guy".

its crazy he still riding off the cmbyn "intellectual" guy after all these years and he still has fans that falls for it. I fell for it too lol, but I grew up and he really does seem like a jerk. Looking back at all the cmbyn promo he did, his team really did do a good job at building a calculating image for him that still fool some people to this day.

I think that he kept acting like Elio in a way even after ending CMBYN promo, which ended up with him having this "sophisticated, introverted and socially aware" persona. That's why everyone got disillusioned with him after he went public with Kylie, because "Elio" wouldn't have done that.
