Timothee Chalamet and rapper EsDeeKid shared an iconic moment during Good Morning America. Fans have long linked the “Dune” star to the masked British rapper, whose face stays hidden under a balaclava.
The theory hangs on matching eyes, voice cadence, and cheeky timing during his “Marty Supreme” press push. When the host asked directly, the actor’s reaction turned instantly viral, fueling the already noisy Chalamet-as-EsDeeKid conversation without actually confirming anything.
Timothee Chalamet almost loses it when asked if he’s EsDeeKid on GMA
On GMA, George Stephanopoulos asked point-blank if he is “SD Kid.” Chalamet laughed and nearly lost his sip. He said, “You almost made me spit out my water,” then added, “No comment.” The dodge landed like gasoline on fan theories while keeping the mystery intact.
For context, EsDeeKid is a masked U.K. rapper whose identity is a running gag online. He appears with only his eyes visible, which is why side-by-sides with Chalamet’s features keep circulating. Culture outlets have unpacked the clues for weeks, noting the accent play, meme-friendly drop cadence, and the coincidental overlap with the actor’s promo schedule. Still, nothing is verified.
Chalamet has previously teased the chatter while refusing to draw a clean line. In a recent BBC radio exchange referenced by entertainment press, he said, “I got no comment on that… all will be revealed in due time.” That wink kept speculation moving without offering an answer.
The GMA hit was otherwise about “Marty Supreme,” his Christmas Day release with Josh Safdie. Asked why the story resonates, he pitched it simply. “You can pursue a singular dream… and ultimately if you get your butt in the seat, the ride is worth it.” The clip doubled as a promo while giving the rumor a fresh headline.
Online, the takeaway is clear. The actor didn’t confirm himself to be EsDeeKid, yet he didn’t shut it down either. Therefore, the theory keeps breathing. Meanwhile, EsDeeKid’s identity remains unconfirmed, and Chalamet’s careful replies keep the rollout playful.
The bottom line is that Timothee Chalamet‘s Good Morning America chatter turned a straightforward interview into a memeable moment. The water-choke, the “no comment,” and the long-running masked rapper theory converged at exactly the right time, boosting both the movie and the mystery.
