Rather than firmly denying the rumor, his response fueled speculation, prompting many to investigate the truth behind this shocking claim.
The conspiracy centers on the allegation that Chalamet, known for his dramatic roles, is secretly leading a double life as a masked rapper.
Various "clues" and physical similarities form the basis of the theory, which is now a hot topic on various online platforms.
Timothée Chalamet's Hanging Response
In December 11, 2025, Timothée Chalamet finally addressed the EsDeeKid conspiracy theory in an interview.
While promoting his latest film, "Marty Supreme," on the British radio program Heart Breakfast on December 11, 2025, Chalamet was asked directly about the rumors.
The "Marty Supreme" film itself is scheduled for release on Christmas Day 2025.
Instead of offering a firm denial, Chalamet opted for a cryptic and humorous response.
He stated, "I have no comment on that... everything will be revealed in due time."
"I have two words for that," he said before continuing with a longer and more ambiguous sentence.
While this theory is popular, there is some evidence and arguments to disprove Chalamet's involvement.
An investigation by GQ uncovered a clear scheduling conflict; on October 9, EsDeeKid performed in Milan while Chalamet attended a screening of "Marty Supreme" in New York, making it physically impossible for him to be in two different places at the same time.
Even so, EsDeeKid's thick Scouse accent is considered difficult for an American actor to perfectly imitate.
To date, neither Chalamet nor EsDeeKid's representatives have officially commented on this theory.
EsDeeKid: Mysterious Identity and the Conspiracy Origin
EsDeeKid is a mysterious rapper from Liverpool, England, who always wears a balaclava to conceal his true identity.
He is known for his thick Scouse accent, a hallmark of his hometown.
In 2025, EsDeeKid released the highly successful album "Rebel," featuring hits like "LV Sandals," "4 Raws," and "Phantom," and has collaborated with artists like Fakemink and Rico Ace.
Conspiracy theories linking EsDeeKid to Timothée Chalamet began to emerge from fans' careful observation on social media.
They discovered a series of "clues" and similarities that were deemed too coincidental to ignore.
The main trigger for these theories was Chalamet's unexpected appearance at Fakemink's rap concert in London in August 2025, given that Fakemink was a frequent collaborator of EsDeeKid.
Chalamet's presence at the concert, coupled with other small details, led fans to begin putting the pieces together.
Why Is Timothée Chalamet Linked to EsDeeKid?
Fans of this conspiracy theory have put forward several pieces of "evidence" they believe link Timothée Chalamet to EsDeeKid.
One key point is the striking similarity in the color and shape of the eyes visible from behind EsDeeKid's balaclava to Chalamet's, which is often the focus of comparisons in viral TikTok videos.
Furthermore, the similarity in names has also been highlighted.
Both the names "Timothée" and "EsDeeKid" contain the double letter "ee," a coincidence that is considered significant by adherents of this theory.
Chalamet's interest in hip-hop music is also a supporting argument, given that he attempted a rap career under the name "Lil Timmy Tim" during his teenage years.
Chalamet's acting ability to imitate various accents for his roles has also been cited as evidence that he could be imitating EsDeeKid's thick Scouse accent.
Some fans have also highlighted similar accessories, such as bandanas, that the two have been seen wearing.
