Timothée Chalamet Turns Live TV Flub Into a Moment to Remember
Ah, live television—the sweet chaos that can turn even the most seasoned stars into stumbling, mumbling messes. Just ask Timothée Chalamet, who gracefully (okay, not so gracefully) made headlines at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards. While looking suave alongside cast mates Elle Fanning, Edward Norton, and Monica Barbaro for their film “A Complete Unknown,” Timothée hit a bit of a snag when he flubbed his lines. But in true Chalamet fashion, he delivered a cheeky comeback that had the audience laughing. “Should’ve done a rehearsal,” he quipped, and honestly, who among us hasn’t felt that way while trying to hit the right notes during a karaoke night?
Despite the small hiccup, the “Dune” star turned the moment into a win, claiming the title of the youngest actor to snag the SAG Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Motion Picture thanks to his portrayal of music icon Bob Dylan. This is no small feat, especially given the stiff competition he faced from heavyweights like Adrien Brody and Ralph Fiennes. Timothée sat in awe during his acceptance speech, admitting, “I was not expecting this at all, Truly,” proving he’s humble even among awards season glitz.
Oh, and let’s not forget the absence of his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, at the ceremony. No worries though—Timothée had his rock star mom, Nicole Flender, by his side, giving a sweet heartwarming shout-out to her long dedication to Actors’ Equity. Can you say #FamilyGoals?
Other stars like Martin Short and Selena Gomez had their moments of glory too; while Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin celebrated a win with affectionate embraces. Emilia Pérez star Zoe Saldaña couldn’t hold back the happy tears—who knew a night out could turn into an emotional rollercoaster?
Not to steal Chalamet’s shine, but his “A Complete Unknown” crew definitely turned heads at the event, proving that the spotlight shines bright this awards season. For a night filled with unexpected flubs and heartfelt moments, the SAG Awards revealed that even the stars are just like us—occasionally fumbling but always able to laugh it off.
