Actor Timothee Chalamet Shuts Down Alter Ego Rumours

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times)

Actor Timothee Chalamet has seemingly put an end to online speculation linking him to British rapper EsDeeKid, while offering fans an unexpected twist - a musical collaboration.

Chalamet and EsDeeKid shared a snippet of a remixed version of the track "4 Raws" on Instagram. The clip features an unmasked Chalamet confidently strutting alongside the still-obscured rapper, with the actor delivering rap verses that reference his upcoming film Marty Supreme, his public persona, and even his long-running nickname, Lil' Timmy Tim.

Speculation that Chalamet was secretly EsDeeKid had gained traction during the actor's Marty Supreme press tour, with fans pointing to similarities in voice, timing and public appearances. The latest collaboration appears to put those rumours to rest, while confirming the actor's involvement as a featured collaborator rather than a hidden alter ego.

Chalamet has previously spoken openly about his admiration for hip-hop, and his performance on the remix showcases a confident, if playful, delivery.

The collaboration marks one of the more unconventional moments from Chalamet's ongoing promotional run for Marty Supreme. The actor is hoping to secure his first Academy Award after missing out last year for A Complete Unknown. Although he did not take home an Oscar, the film's soundtrack earned a Grammy nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
