Conan O’Brien is the latest celebrity to criticize Timothée Chalamet for his insensitive comments about “opera and ballet.”
The 62-year-old comedian made a joke to the Marty Supreme actor while hosting the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday.
As he roasted Timothée, Conan said, “Security is pretty tight tonight. I hear there are concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities. It’s his first time in a theater!’
“What are they all doing?! They should be at home where I can make money!” he added.
Then the camera quickly shifted focus to the Dune star, smiling awkwardly at the roast.
For those unfamiliar, Timothée recently found himself in hot water after making an offensive comment about the popularity of ballet and opera.
“I don’t want to work in ballet or opera, or you know, things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive,’ even though it’s like no one cares about this anymore, all respect to the ballet and opera people out there,” he said during an interview with Matthew McConaughey.
It is worth mentioning here that the 2026 Oscar Awards were held on Sunday at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, honoring outstanding performers for their incredible work.
