Here are all the details fans need to know about Chalamet and Stiller’s Knicks outing and whether they are close friends.
Is Timothée Chalamet friends with Ben Stiller?
Yes, Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller are friends.
The two actors’ friendship was revealed to the world as they attended the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on May 27, 2025. Stiller and Chalamet were there to support the Knicks, despite the team’s loss to the Pacers.
Stiller also showcased the strength of their bond as he called out Pat McAfee for taking a dig at him and Chalamet for attending the game.
Commentator McAfee was another person who was attending the game, however, he is a Pacers fan. At Madison Square Garden, McAfee took the mic at the game’s start and said, “Indianapolis, Indiana, we got some bigwigs from the big city in the building. Spike Lee is here. Ben Stiller is here. Timothée Chalamet is here. Let’s send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears bleeding!”
Stiller didn’t sit back on this taunt and commented on a clip of McAfee’s statement on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, “Yes. Weird. We were happy to be there and cheer our team and other than that Indy fans were awesome.”
As per Variety, the actor further added, “It’s ok. He must be playing around – if it’s an actual point of view it seems a little anachronistic or cliche? Like we are ‘big city celebs’ and we shouldn’t be there in the heartland? Again, everyone we met was awesome and incredibly cool.”
