Timothée Chalamet: Fans are surprised by the bizarre live stream

Timothée Chalamet (28) confused his fans on Instagram with a bizarre live stream. The actor, whose Bob Dylan biopic opens in American cinemas on December 25th, is currently in the hot promotional phase for his new film and is rarely active on Instagram. On December 23rd, Chalamet went live on his account for 14 minutes – and put on a show of his own.

In the video, Chalamet sits on an office chair in front of a huge screen in a large hall and watches footage of Bob Dylan (83) while his song “Blind Willie McTell” plays. The actor then gets a guitar and smashes it on the floor in front of the screen.

Next, the screen displays congratulatory texts such as “You did it” or “We are so proud of you”, with his name spelled “Timothee”, i.e. without an apostrophe. Meanwhile, a few people come up to him, give the actor their arms, and then leave the picture again. The first person to congratulate him is probably his girlfriend Kylie Jenner (27).

Then the song “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas starts and Chalamet starts to celebrate. He shoots confetti cannons, takes off his sweater and later his shirt and dances through the hall. In between, he sticks his head in a sink, climbs onto a scaffold, shoots more confetti cannons and spins in circles on the floor like Homer Simpson. Finally, still shirtless and strangely humming, he walks out of the hall and across the grounds.

What the video is supposed to express is now the big question, which the followers in the comments are also perplexed about. “Girl, what was that?” they ask, or “So what the hell is happening here?” Others wonder about the text with which the actor shared the video: “Timmy’s livestream broadcast at 3:16 in the afternoon on 12/23/2024.” A follower writes: “How he posts the caption as if it were a fan account.” Others ask why he speaks of himself in the third person. Until now, it was not clear that the account could be operated by anyone other than Chalamet himself.
