Does the photo really show Timothée Chalamet falling at the Oscars?
No – the X account clearly states that it is a “parody satire fake news page”. It says the source was the official Oscars Twitter account, which has not shared an image like this.
Despite this, people have been asking if it really happened. Some users directed the question to Grok, a free AI assistant that responds to users’ prompts on the app.
It seems to be a play on a meme from 2015. “Jason Derulo falling down the stairs” went viral after people thought he resembled an unknown man in the real photo. A search on Getty Images, a trusted source of licensed stock photos, shows that the original is from the Cannes Film Festival in 2011.
