Amidst the festive drive of the season and Tinseltown’s ever-refreshing cinematic slate, Timothée Chalamet has sparked anticipation with his Christmas Day release, A Complete Unknown. But unknowingly, Chalamet has made headlines for more than one reason with some of the most unexpected developments that caught fans off-guard. From a style-switch to a head-turning makeover, the Dune actor has been weaving the threads of enthusiasm one at a time. However, speaking of his skyrocketing artistic career, Chalamet recently paid homage to Lil B, leaving fans to declare his destiny a calling from above.

During a recent promotional round for the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, Nardwuar the Human Serviette engaged in a candid conversation with Timothée Chalamet about his “Timmy Tim” days. Talking about his rising acting career, the actor reflected on its genesis, recounting an especially memorable encounter with rapper Lil B when he was just a teenager. Chalamet earned $50 from a commercial back in the day, and reportedly “bribed a kid” for a front-row ticket for Lil B’s NYU appearance.

Timothée Chalamet’s rise to stardom was set in motion by a chance encounter with Lil B, who summoned him on stage and bestowed upon him a blessing that would prove to be a career-defining moment. “He knighted me,” Chalamet jokingly reminisced. Before that pivotal meet-and-greet, Chalamet navigated a wilderness of struggle, but Lil B’s benevolent gesture flung open the doors to Oscar nominations with his first nod at just 22.

Timothée Chalamet’s headlines have been marked by dramatic plot twists recently, but Lil B’s role in his breakthrough moment has fans likening the situation to a Based God intervention.

In his interview with Nardwuar, Timothée Chalamet endorsed Lil B’s part in making his career nothing short of a blockbuster, saying, “Shout out, Lil B. Nothing possible without Lil B.” Although Chalamet’s gesture of appreciation highlights his respect for the rapper, his choice of words has convinced fans that Lil B is indeed his knight in shining armor. As a result, this entire moment of reflection has propelled them to declare, “god did it for him.”

While Hollywood is truly nothing without its fair share of curveballs, Chalamet’s tribute has his enthusiasts flooding the thread with their meme collection.

In a rare twist, fans’ trolling spree was a love fest, not a roast, as Chalamet’s shout-out was music to their ears. If anything, the meme-filled celebration proved that internet culture has leveled up, transforming showbiz into a spectacle to prove that memes can be a force of good, not just mockery. While the sunny side of showbiz is seldom-seen, this was a refresher, thanks to the chosen one.
