Timothée Chalamet might be the Lisan al-Gaib for football as well. During his appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay, he proved he’s the Gen Z Troy Bolton—the guy knows about ball and theater, okay—by correctly predicting the winner of the Ohio Bobcats v. Miami Redhawks match-up earlier today. He cited Ohio quarterback Parker Navarro’s completion rate of 65% as his reasoning for betting on the underdogs to win— he was also the only person at the table who chose the Bobcats to win. With every prediction, the rest of the panel was in awe of Chalamet’s specificity in his choices, which is slightly backhanded as Chalamet was invited to the show to make predictions on game-winners. People contain multitudes; you can never forget that. Or as one X user put it: “You thought someone who at 14, waited outside a Broadway show to get Amar’e Stoudemire’s autograph, would not be prepared for a sports show??”
