‘SNL’ Weekend Update Tackles Timothée Chalamet’s Ballet and Opera Flap, Trump, RFK Jr. and Kristi Noem
Several major opera and ballet companies offered Timothée Chalamet free or discounted tickets after he said no one cares about these art forms, sparking public debate.
- During a Feb. 21 CNN and Variety town hall, Timothée Chalamet said he didn’t want to work in ballet or opera and that 'no one cares about this anymore', prompting social media reactions.
- Amid promotion for his ping-pong film, Chalamet said he 'just lost 14 cents in viewership' while discussing struggles in theatrical movies.
- Several companies replied publicly, with the English National Opera offering a free ticket on Instagram, Seattle Opera providing discounts, and the Royal Ballet and Opera and the Met inviting Chalamet openly.
- Late-Night coverage amplified the backlash when opera singers, ballet dancers, and fans criticized Chalamet, with Colin Jost noting the criticism on Saturday's SNL.
- Chalamet, currently abroad, is appearing on game shows and eating ramen in Japan, so he hasn’t attended any offered performances, though observers hope he visits the New National Theatre in Tokyo.
