Timothée Chalamet Loses 110k Followers After Opera Remarks

Chalamet's dismissal of ballet and opera sparked backlash from institutions and artists defending these arts, with Seattle Opera offering 14% off tickets, officials said.

  • During a CNN and Variety town hall at the University of Texas at Austin, Timothée Chalamet, Oscar-nominated actor, said 'no one cares' about ballet or opera.
  • The LaGuardia High School principal quoted Chalamet's own backstage ballet history, referencing his ties to the New York City Ballet, in response to his comments.
  • Opera houses and ballet companies fired back with promotions, including Los Angeles Opera offers and Seattle Opera's 14 per cent discount with code 'TIMOTHEE'.
  • All of this arrived days before the 98th Academy Awards where he is a Best Actor nominee, and social media users unearthed a January photo of Chalamet wearing a New York City Ballet cap.
  • Major institutions like the Metropolitan Opera and London's Royal Ballet responded, citing his personal ties through his mother Nicole Flender and grandmother Enid Flender.
