Timothée Chalamet finally sets record straight about rumours he’s Scouse rapper EsDeeKid
Timothée Chalamet finally put to bed rumours that he's been disguising himself as Scouse rapper EsDeeKid - a sentence I never thought I'd be writing.
The rapper from Liverpool is basically known for not revealing his face by wearing a mask and hoodie, with only his eyes on show.
After the rapper's debut album 'Rebel' arrived in June, fans struck up a theory that Chalamet and EsDeeKid were the same person, primarily due to their strikingly similar eyes.
Chalamet was asked about the rumours of his supposed musican alter ego during an 11 December appearance on Heart Breakfast, and said: “All will be revealed in due time.”

Well, the Oscar nominee, who turns 30 in a week's time, has now addressed all speculation by appearing alongside the Liverpudlian in an unexpected remix of EsDeeKid’s '4 Raws'.
In the snippet posted on his socials, the Call Me By Your Name star and EsDeeKid are together rapping in a cramped kitchen and housing estate.
“Got model b**ches in Peckham / I’m Ryan Reynolds in Wrexham,” he raps, while also making a reference to his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, and her billionaire status.
"It's Timothée Chalamet chillin' / Tryna stack a hundred million / Girl got a billion / What the f**k? What a wonderful feelin'."
“I’m having fun, just sexting / my d**k is young and restless.”
Rapping at some speed, he adds: “My life is an opera, look at the Oscars / Look at the groupies, look at the movies / Look at the triple-A girl gon’ choose me / Look at my haters man they want to sue me.”
Chalamet also mentions his new flick, Marty Supreme, several times throughout the track. The 2025 sports drama by Josh Safdie is loosely inspired by table tennis icon Marty Reisman.
The actor stars as Marty Mauser, a charismatic 1950s New York shoe-store clerk with dreams of making it big in ping-pong. Whilst battling ambition and ego, he chases recognition in a sport few respected at the time.
Marty Supreme also features Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A’zion and is set for wide release on Boxing Day.
During his recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Chalamet noted that the movie is an 'antidote to dark times'.
"What starts off as a table tennis movie evolves into a heist film, and lands in a very human place. It is one of the films I am most proud of," he said.
"It’s about the pursuit of the singular dream of following your heart.
"I believe it is an important film to put out now. I hope this movie can serve as an antidote to the dark times because ultimately it is about dreaming big."
