Timothée Chalamet has answered the question of whether he's the British rapper EsDeeKid. Sort of.
When it was put to him directly, during an appearance Thursday on the show *Hart Breakfast*, he replied, “I got no comment on that."
The hosts pointed out that the actor has "the same eyes" as the rapper who mysteriously keeps his face covered.

Then the star of *Dune*, *Little Women*, and *A Complete Unknown* said he actually had something to say about that and laughed. "Two words: All will be revealed in due time. That was a little more than two words."
The fan of musicians such as Nicki Minaj and Kid Cudi has performed under a different name before. At Laguardia High School in New York City, he put on a show as Lil Timmy Tim.

Fans have speculated for months that the two-time Oscar nominee is actually behind the artist, who dropped his debut album, *Rebel*, in June. He has 11.5 million monthly listeners, according to Spotify.
While Chalamet may or may not be working in the music industry, he's definitely got more work as an actor ahead.**
His movie *Marty Supreme*, about a world-class ping-pong player, will be released Dec. 25, a date that studios have traditionally reserved for the films they believe are most worthy to be singled out come awards season. Chalamet costars with Gwyneth Paltrow in the sports drama directed by Josh Safdie. The film also stars Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, Odessa A'zion, Ralph Colucci, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma (a.k.a. Tyler, the Creator), and Abel Ferrara.

Paltrow has explained that she thought her costar was "punk rock" when she heard he was dating the mother of two kids. She didn't realize at first that it was Kylie Jenner.
"I was like, 'Do you have a girlfriend?'" Paltrow recounted to *British Vogue* in November. "And he was like, 'I do.' He mentioned that she had kids and I was like, 'That's so cool. I really love to hear that [from] a young man like you.'"
The actress and Goop founder also offered Chalamet skincare advice when she thought that the pockmarks he has in the film were real.
"He made a comment, and I was like, 'Oh, you can do micro-needling for that,'" Paltrow said on *The Run-Through With Vogue* podcast. "He's like, 'This is makeup.' I was like, 'Oh, s---.'"
