Hollywood is often a land of secrecy when it comes to personal lives. Moreover, many celebrities guard their privacy as if it were a precious gem. Travis Kelce bought a lavish mansion, all in the name of securing some much-needed privacy with Taylor Swift. However, the same cannot be said for the relatively new couple in the spotlight, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. These two had managed to maintain an air of secrecy around their relationship, but their public appearances have unintentionally shed light on their love affair.

This desire of Chalamet for a little more privacy pushed him to draw a unique parallel. He could not help but liken his love life to the unforgettable South Park episode that cheekily talked about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Chalamet’s stardom skyrocketed after his role in Call Me by Your Name. And his newfound connection with Jenner only intensified the glare. Nevertheless, this Dune actor recognized that his fans played a crucial role in his success. In a candid interview with GQ, he expressed his desire for a more private life while basking in the glow of fame. The writer, Daniel Riley, could not help but quip that perhaps he should rethink his choice of spending time with one of the most followed personalities on Instagram.

This witty retort had the Willy Wonka actor draw a humorous parallel between his relationship and a famous South Park episode that playfully satirized the royal duo. Titled the Worldwide Privacy Tour, the episode humorously mocked the royal couple’s efforts to attain privacy through media exposure. Chalamet quipped, “Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you’re trying to live a private life”. His sly remark did not deter him from making public appearances and going out and about with his love.

The audacious humor of South Park, famous for its fearless satire, left Markle feeling “upset and overwhelmed” when an episode humorously parodied her and Prince Harry. This iconic show has never shied away from pushing boundaries. In its 26th season, an episode titled The Worldwide Privacy Tour parodied a fictional couple. More so, reminiscent of the royal duo, they hilariously attempted to live a low-key life while globally demanding privacy.

The episode was filled with biting humor, featuring scenes of the royal couple parading through busy city streets. They brandished signs that declared, “STOP LOOKING AT US!” and “WE WANT OUR PRIVACY!!”. Markle reportedly found the episode quite unsettling. Further, she chose not to watch it in its entirety, according to insider reports. Furthermore, there was even speculation that legal action might be taken in response to the episode.
