Three years after hosting a massively hit episode of SNL, Timothée Chalamet returned to host the comedy sketch series once again. In 2020, Chalamet and Pete Davidson’s Rap Roundtable SNL skit in which they poked fun at newly-emerging rap artists gained widespread popularity and quickly went viral. Now, the Wonka actor has returned to take on another famous musical artist from a different genre: Troye Sivan. And boy was it hilarious!

Yesterday, SNL rolled out a sketch dedicated to Sivan in which Chalamet portrayed the 28-year-old icon. As part of it, he even flashed his red underwear and shook his behind, leaving audiences amused and in splits. Earlier today, the series shared the clip on its X (previously Twitter) page too. The video showed a scene in which a patient was hounded by visions of Sivan. Meanwhile, the Dune actor danced a jig on the side, dressed as the Australian singer. 

Besides his portrayal of Sivan, Chalamet also did a bit for his upcoming flick Wonka which recently released its first look. However, it was his enactment of the ‘Youth’ singer that stole the show. After all, Sivan is not just a popular YouTube star but also a Grammy award and Golden Globe award-nominated singer too! The combined star power of Chalamet and his character brought the sketch much praise. 

Netizens were thoroughly impressed with the spot-on impression of Sivan’s queer flair, which is legendary in its own right. They celebrated the skit’s genius in the comments of the post. 

Timothée Chalamet nails another SNL skit and impresses Twitterati

When the clip arrived on X, users were pleasantly surprised at the accuracy that Troye Sivan was portrayed with. Like the Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith sketch that SNL did recently, the audiences loved every moment of this one too. Although the 28-year-old is not a mainstream artist, he is considered a luminary in the queer atrtists’ pantheon. The sketch deemed him “gay famous” which viewers resonated with. The stellar acting from Chalamet served as the cherry on the top.

One user was in love with how “niche” and unique this sketch was. Another claimed it was SNL’s “best sketch” of all time.

Meanwhile, there were those that were convinced that SNL had created the most relatable skit ever for them.

It is safe to say that public opinion is in favor of this latest to come from SNL. With his rendition of an ‘Australian singer’ Sivan has proved that there is no role that he cannot nail. This along with his previous skit with Pete Davidson has given fans another adaptable Halloween costume, all the while making him a fan favorite SNL guest.
