Celebrities Call Out, React to Timothee Chalamet's Viral Statements About Opera & Ballet
Timothee Chalamet has been in some hot water the past few days over comments he made about opera and ballet, which have gone incredibly viral.
The statements were shared during a discussion with Matthew McConaughey for a Variety and CNN Town Hall event.
“I admire people, and I’ve done it myself, who go on a talk show and say, ‘Hey, we’ve got to keep movie theaters alive, we’ve gotta keep this genre alive,’ and another part of me feels like if people want to see it, like Barbie, like Oppenheimer, they’re going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it,” Timothee said.
He then added, “I don’t want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.’ All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there.”
Timothee realized he probably shouldn’t have said that and added with a laugh, “I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason.”
Over the last few days, celebrities and stars have reacted to Timothee‘s comments.
