Timothée Chalamet Called ‘Jerk’ For ‘Manspreading’ At NBA Game

Timothée Chalamet is catching heat online. The Oscar-nominated actor found himself trending after attending a New York Knicks playoff game, but instead of the action on the court, fans were focused on how he was sitting. Chalamet was seated courtside between girlfriend Kylie Jenner and comedian Tina Fey during the Knicks’ 126-97 Game 5 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Photos from the night showed Timothée Chalamet sitting with his legs spread wide, and social media users were quick to call it out.

Fans didn’t hold back as images from the game made their way to X, with some accusing Chalamet of being inconsiderate toward Fey. “Timothee Chalamet, if you don’t stop manspreading on Tina Fey, I swear to god,” one user wrote. Another added, ‘She’s thinking he shouldn’t manspread so she could be comfortable. What a jerk.’

Despite the online backlash, Chalamet kept his focus on the action; the real headline of the night came from the court. After a relatively quiet start to the series, Brunson came through in a major way during Game 5, dropping 39 points to lead the New York Knicks to a dominant 126-97 win over the Atlanta Hawks at Madison Square Garden.

The standout performance marked his best showing of the series and helped push the Knicks to a 3-2 lead, putting them one win away from advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Double Date Night In NYC After The Game

After the buzzy courtside appearance, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet kept the night going with a low-key double date in New York City. The couple met up with Jordyn Woods and her fiancé, Karl-Anthony Towns, at the upscale steakhouse 4 Charles Prime Rib, according to photos obtained by Page Six. Chalamet and Jenner were spotted arriving hand-in-hand, though they entered separately from Towns and Woods. Hours later, the two pairs were seen leaving the restaurant separately as well.

Chalamet and Jenner were first linked in April 2023 and later confirmed their relationship with a PDA-filled moment at a Beyoncé concert that September. The romance came shortly after Jenner’s split from Travis Scott, with whom she shares two children.

Timothée Chalamet Teases Dark Turn In ‘Dune: Part Three’

Even as he makes headlines off-screen, Timothée Chalamet is gearing up for one of his most anticipated roles yet. The actor is set to return as Paul Atreides in “Dune: Part Three,” which hits theaters on December 18 and is based on Dune Messiah.

Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 14, Chalamet hinted at a darker evolution for his character. “He’s become his worst vision,” he said. “And it’s 17 years later, and he’s struggling to retain the parts of himself he sees the most and trying to figure out how to still protect those he loves in his life while becoming an all-powerful, dark emperor of the universe,” he said.

The next installment will explore what happens as Paul rises to power and the consequences that come with it.
