Actor Timothée Chalamet has responded after his hero Kid Cudi labelled him his “favourite artist” of the moment.
Call Me By Your Name star Chalamet recently credited Cudi with saving his acting career, revealing that the rapper gave him some sage advice after a show in 2014. The pair later reunited at a GQ party in February (see a photo of that above).
Then, earlier this week (February 26), Kid Cudi was asked by a fan on Twitter who is his “favourite artist right now”, leading Cudi to tag Chalamet in the post.
@KidCudi who’s your favorite artist right now ?

Chalamet responded by tweeting: “UHMMM OKAY STRIKE ME THE FUCK DOWN”, following it up with the more illegible: “ADHXJKSDKSHKXNFUDKDNXHKDM”.

Cudi also responded to an earlier tweet by Chalamet reminiscing about listening to the artist’s music when he was younger, to which Chalamet later replied: “STAN LEVEL 368483”.

In February, Frank Ocean interviewed Chalamet, with the pair talking about Call Me By Your Name, fashion, music and being mutual fans of each other.

The ‘Blonde’ artist had publicly voiced his appreciation for the Luca Guadagnino-directed film in a Tumblr post back in December, with Ocean praising actor Michael Stuhlbarg in particular for his part in the movie.
During his interview with Chalamet, the young actor quoted Ocean’s own lyrics to him, to which Ocean jokingly replied: “Don’t do that”.
