Are Selena Gomez & Timothée Chalamet Friends? The Truth Behind The Kylie Golden Globes Gossip
It’s the Internet’s biggest mystery after the Golden Globes. After speculation of whispers and mouthreading, everyone wants to know if Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez are friends.
In a telecast of the 81st Golden Globes, Only Murders In The Building star Selena Gomez was seen chatting to her friends Taylor Swift and Keleigh Sperry about what seemed to be something about Timothée Chalamet. The Midnights artist and Sperry were visibly shocked to which the latter gasped, “With Timothée?”
The Wonka star attended the lavish ceremony with his new girlfriend Kylie Jenner in one of their rare public appearances together. (Their PDA moments were one of the show’s highlights during the breaks). According to some fans on the Internet, Selena told her pals, “I asked for a picture with him and she said no.”
However the day after The Golden Globes, a source close to Gomez told People that she was indeed not gossiping about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. The insider added that with Timothée and Kylie in particular, the “Single Soon” singer “never even saw or spoke to them” at the Globes.
So what’s the deal? Did it have to do with Kylie and Selena’s alleged beef from a year ago? Here’s if Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez are friends and what their interactions have been like in the past.
Are Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez friends?
Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez’s friendship goes way back to when they starred in the Woody Allen-directed rom-com A Rainy Day In New York together.
When sexual abuse allegations against the director came out, Timothée pledged to donate his salary to charities. “I have been asked in a few recent interviews about my decision to work on a film with Woody Allen last summer,” he wrote on Instagram at the time, per The Guardian.
“I’m not able to answer the question directly because of contractual obligations. But what I can say is this: I don’t want to profit from my work on the film, and to that end, I am going to donate my entire salary to three charities: Time’s Up, the LGBT Centre in New York, and Rainn [the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network].”
He added, “I want to be worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the brave artists who are fighting for all the people to be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.”
Since then, Timothée appeared on one of Selena Gomez’s Instagram lives during the 2020 Presidential election to encourage her fans to vote. “Right now, I’m literally voting at my early voting station in New York at Madison Square Garden, which feels particularly metaphorical because I’ve seen many great things happen here,” Timothée told Selena during their Instagram Live chat. “It’s really moving to see this many people show up. It feels like people are motivated and everyone’s telling young people to vote.”
Selena also talked about her own voting experiences. “I really wanted to go to do it in person but I couldn’t for certain situations…I got the ballot, and it was so much fun,” she said.
“I’m really proud of you,” the Little Women star told the Wizards of Waverly Place alum. “You’ve been all over this stuff and I know it’s making a difference. I feel like you’re really on the curve…and it’s really important. I’m inspired.” Timothée later yelled in the live “Selena for President, 2024” after guessing her age wrong.
Last year, Selena was tangled up in an alleged social media feud with Kylie and her best friend Hailey Bieber. In a video posted by @devotedly.yours, the TikTok user claimed that Kylie and Hailey were making fun of Selena. The Wizards of Waverly Place alum posted a video on her TikTok story of her eyebrows earlier in the day while saying “laminated my brows too much.” The TikTok user then said that Kylie posted an Instagram story of her eyebrows while saying “accidentally laminated my eyebrows too much.” She then posted a picture of her Facetiming with Hailey with a closeup of their eyebrows with the caption “this was an accident ?????”.” The TikTok user stated that the whole debacle was like “high school.”
Kylie later responded by commenting on the TikTok, “this is reaching. no shade towards selena ever and i didn’t see her eyebrow posts! u guys are making something out of nothing. this is silly.” Selena replied back to the comment, “Agreed @kyliejenner. It’s all unnecessary. I’m a fan of Kylie!”
