NEED TO KNOW<\/p>\n
Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet played coy when asked if he was actually the British rapper EsDeeKid<\/p>\n
A viral fan theory claims the actor and the rapper may be the same person<\/p>\n
“All will be revealed,” Chalamet teased<\/p>\n
Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> has had plenty of transformative roles \u2014 but is an underground British rapper one of them?\n<\/p>\n For months, fans of the Marty Supreme<\/a> star have wondered whether he may secretly be the viral rapper EsDeeKid, who performs with his face largely covered and has stayed mum on any identifying details about himself.\n<\/p>\n While promoting his latest movie on the British radio program Heart Breakfast <\/a>on Thursday, Dec. 11, Chalamet, 29, was asked point blank whether EsDeeKid was his alter ego \u2014 and he had a cryptic response.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI got no comment on that. No, I mean, I got no comment,\u201d he responded.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n When the hosts pointed out that Chalamet and EsDeeKid have similar eyes, and were even both photographed wearing the same skull scarf, the actor played coy once again.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got two words on that,\u201d he said, as he hesitated and stumbled over his words, then laughed and broke into a mischievous smile. \u201cTwo words: All will be revealed in due time. That was a little more than two words.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Chalamet then joked about his high school alter ego Lil Timmy Tim<\/a>, referencing a viral video from 2012<\/a> that features him rapping in spectacular fashion at an event at his high school in New York City.\n<\/p>\n \u201cLet me tell you, Lil Timmy does not have the same ring to it,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n EsDeeKid.<\/p>\n EsDeeKid\/YouTube<\/p>\n Rumors began swirling earlier this year that Chalamet might somehow be EsDeeKid, mostly due to the similarities in their eyes. The actor stoked the flames further when he showed up to a Fakemink show in London in August, as Fakemink appears on EsDeeKid\u2019s song \u201cLV Sandals.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Not much is known about EsDeeKid, who performs with a balaclava over his face and claims to be from Liverpool. He released his debut album Rebel in June and has more than 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, though his real name and age are unknown.\n<\/p>\n Chalemet, meanwhile, has been open for years about his love of hip-hop and rap music, naming stars like Kid Cudi<\/a> and Nicki Minaj<\/a> as favorites. In 2020, he even appeared on Saturday Night Live in a sketch with Pete Davidson<\/a> that saw him playing a rapper named $mokecheddathaassgetta.\n<\/p>\n He\u2019s currently promoting his new film Marty Supreme, which opens in theaters on Dec. 25.\n<\/p>\n On Dec. 8, he stepped out at the film\u2019s Los Angeles premiere with girlfriend Kylie Jenner<\/a> in matching orange outfits<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet played coy when asked if he was actually the British rapper EsDeeKid A…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-311564","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
