Timothée Chalamet Rates Unpopular Opinions on BBC Radio One and Ends Up Singing Happy Birthday

Timothée Chalamet stopped by BBC Radio One for a game of Unpopular Opinions with Greg James, and the result is exactly as entertaining as putting one of Hollywood’s most culturally omnivorous young stars in front of a format designed to catch people off guard. Over about 14 minutes the conversation covers table tennis as the next big sport, the merits of sitting exams, whether birthdays are stupid, pineapple-flavored cottage cheese, and the choice between looking after a newborn baby or a puppy. Chalamet also discusses ‘Marty Supreme’ and the EsDeeKid phenomenon, two subjects that reveal just how genuinely plugged in he is to internet culture and niche sports subcultures. The moment where he sings to Greg James is worth the whole video on its own.
