Timothee Chalamet finally put the rumor to bed that he is not the same person as Liverpudlian rapper EsDeeKid.
The 29-year-old actor – who has pulled out all the stops in promoting buzzy film Marty Supreme – shocked fans as he dropped a new music video alongside the mysterious rapper on the remix for the track 4 Raws.
Timothee Chalamet surprised fans as he rapped a few bars on the song and even referenced his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, 28, after recently putting split rumors to rest.
The New York native rapped: ‘It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’ / tryna stack a hundred million/ Girl got a billion / What the f***? What a wonderful feelin”
EsDeeKid is completely anonymous and always wears a mask or balaclava to conceal his true identity, with many fans posting pictures of the pair side by side to point out the similarities.
Timothée Chalamet boasts a striking resemblance to the viral music star and left fans shocked as they appeared in the music video side-by-side together.
One commented: ‘now we have seen timothee chalamet and esdeekid in the same room.’
Another said: ‘How can you be at 2 places at once @tchalamet [shocked emoji]
A different user posted the famous two Spider-Mans pointing at each other meme.
Other Instagram users noted Chalamet’s reference to his Kylie Cosmetics mogul lover.
One wrote: ‘”My girl got a billion” say it louderrrr @kyliejenner okurrrr’
Another simply wrote: ‘girl got a billion’
Earlier this month, Chalamet addressed rumors that he was moonlighting as EsDeeKid.
During an appearance on the Heart FM Breakfast show, the actor refused to confirm or deny the rumours but seemed to tease the music video at the time as he said ‘all would be revealed’.
Host Amanda Holden said: ‘Your fans have been going wild, and saying that you are EsDeeKid’ before Jamie Theakston asked: ‘Is that true?’.
Timothée replied mysteriously: ‘I got no comment on that’ before adding: ‘ I got two words on that… all will be revealed in due time’.
Amanda then went on to bring up the actor’s previous musical experience after he performed as a rapper called Lil Timmy Tim during his childhood.
However a giggling Timothée said: ‘Little Timmy Tim doesn’t quite have the same ring to it’ and left the studio in hysterics when he quipped: ‘Little Timmy sounds like something else!’.
The rumours appear to stem from a TikTok posted on November 11, from a user named KJ Freeman who posted a clip setting out his evidence, with the caption: ‘this is going to sound crazy…’
He pointed out that the pair both have green eyes and have the same skull-print Alexander McQueen scarf.
Timothée was also seen at the London show of EsDeeKid collaborator Fakemink, reports GQ.
Freeman added in another post: ‘it’s in his DNA to do some s**t like that’.
A representative for Timothée has been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment.
Fans have been penning on X: ‘the Timothée Chalamet is esdeekid theory has got to be top 5 conspiracy theories of all time’: ‘Could be. Dude has the ability to sound like this from his roles and the use of a linguists and just adjusting the pitch of his voice’: ‘Looks like his eyes’: ‘Fav theory.’,
However others were quick to point out that EsDeeKid has a strong Scouse accent that the American star wouldn’t be able to pull off.
It comes after Kylie Jenner hinted at why she’s never uttered boyfriend Timothée famous name on her Hulu reality show The Kardashians during Thursday’s episode.
An off-camera producer recalled how the 28-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder was rumoured to have become pregnant at age 16 in 2013, and if she feels more ‘protective’ of her personal life after growing up in the spotlight.
‘I have to live my life,’ Jenner responded – according to Us Weekly.
‘I can’t live for whatever everyone else wants me to do. I just have to try to do what’s best for me every day. I know that fame has absolutely shaped me from experiencing these things since I was nine.
‘But I guess I also wouldn’t know who I would be today without growing up like this. I’m just navigating through life.’
The Calabasas socialite did get pregnant four years later at age 19 with the first of her two children with disgraced Astroworld founder Travis Scott.
It’s unclear if the native New Yorker will be with his own family over Christmas but, on December 27, she will likely help him celebrate his 30th birthday before they ring in the New Year.
Timothée will certainly be in need of more arm candy as he’s nominated for best actor trophies at the Critics’ Choice Awards (airing January 4) and the Golden Globes (airing January 11).
The two-time Oscar nominee produced and stars as shoe salesman-turned-table tennis champ Marty Mauser in A24’s $70M-budget ping-pong drama Marty Supreme, which hits limited US theatres December 25 and UK theatres December 26.
He began training in table tennis as far back as 2018 in anticipation of the part loosely based on the life of Marty Reisman (1930-2012).
Josh Safdie’s solo feature directorial debut will also star Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, David Mamet, Levon Hawke and Penn Jillette.
The Khy founder and the Complete Unknown actor – whose mutual friend is designer Haider Ackermann – met as far back as 2019 at Nobu Malibu, but they didn’t confirm their romance until 2023.
Timothée previously romanced his The King leading lady Lily-Rose Depp, Extrapolations actress Eiza González and Madonna’s eldest Lourdes Leon.
