There’s This Conspiracy About Timothée Chalamet I Have to Tell You About

I wouldn’t put it past Timothée Chalamet to go full method for A Complete Unknown and whip up a secret musical persona, but I certainly didn’t expect this. This week, the internet has conceived an intriguing rumor that alt British rapper EsDeeKid is none other than America’s sweetheart.

The evidence is all in the eyes. EsDeeKid—a 20-year-old from Liverpool with a thick Scouse accent—performs with his face fully covered, revealing only a pair of moody, sunken eyes that look uncannily like Timothée’s. And fans are certain: these are the same eyes that have stared longingly into a fireplace while Sufjan Stevens plays in the background.

For a moment, it was just another internet fever dream, until TMZ stirred the pot further and pointed out that Timothée was at a Fakemink—one of EsDeeKid’s mates—show in London earlier this year. Oh, and both Chalamet and EsDeeKid have been photographed wearing the same Alexander McQueen skull scarf. So maybe they’re both… millennials?

But are we not forgetting the Timothée Chalamet look-alike competition that took place in Washington Square Park in 2024? God knows how many boys were created with this exact face and aura. EsDeeKid could’ve been one of them, or maybe Europe is just full of unclaimed Timothée variants waiting to be discovered.

While I don’t think this rumor has legs, it would explain why Timmy had to skip Kris Jenner’s big 70th birthday bash, leaving Kylie by her lonesome. Meanwhile, EsDeeKid is gearing up for a small North American tour, and these rumors certainly won’t hurt ticket sales.

And for anyone asking if Club Chalamet has broken her silence on the matter—she is far too busy single-handedly running Timothée’s Best Actor Oscar campaign for Marty Supreme. Thank you for your service, Club Chalamet.
