Introduction to the Speculation
The speculation surrounding Timothée Chalamet’s potential identity as the anonymous British rapper EsDeeKid has been ongoing, with various rumors and coincidental events fueling the theory. EsDeeKid, known for performing in a balaclava, has gained a massive following with 11.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a debut album "Rebel" released in June. The actor’s recent appearance on the "Heart Breakfast" radio show sparked a wave of discussion, as hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston confronted him about the rumors.
The Radio Show Confrontation
During the radio show, Holden told Chalamet that his fans have been speculating about his potential identity as EsDeeKid, to which Theakston bluntly asked, "Is that true?" Chalamet replied, "I got no comment on that," and insisted on not commenting further, despite the hosts’ attempts to pry more information out of him. The conversation took a turn when Holden pointed out the physical similarities between Chalamet and EsDeeKid, saying, "You’ve got the same eyes." Chalamet hesitated before responding, "All will be revealed in due time," leaving the hosts and listeners wondering if there was any truth to the speculation.
Social Media Speculation
Social media has been flooded with supposed reasons why Chalamet could be EsDeeKid, including comparisons of their eyes, clothing, and past experiences with rap music. Fans have pointed out that Chalamet and EsDeeKid have been spotted wearing similar clothes, including the same skull-print scarf. Additionally, Chalamet was seen attending a concert by British rapper Fakemink, who is featured on EsDeeKid’s viral song "LV Sandals." The actor’s past experience with rap music, revealed on "The Graham Norton Show" in 2019, has also been cited as evidence, as he used to rap in school under the name "Lil Timmy Tim."
The Potential Stumbling Block
One potential stumbling block for the theory is EsDeeKid’s Liverpool accent, which may not be consistent with Chalamet’s known background and accent. However, fans argue that, as a twice-Oscar-nominated actor, Chalamet may have the skills to adopt a dialect and maintain a convincing accent. This has led to further speculation and debate online, with some fans convinced that Chalamet is indeed EsDeeKid, while others remain skeptical.
The Mystery Remains
Despite the speculation and coincidental events, the true identity of EsDeeKid remains a mystery. Chalamet’s refusal to comment on the rumors has only fueled the speculation, leaving fans to continue guessing and discussing the possibilities. As the mystery continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether the truth about EsDeeKid’s identity will be revealed, and whether Chalamet will eventually comment on the speculation surrounding his potential involvement with the anonymous rapper. Until then, the debate and speculation will likely continue, with fans eagerly following every move and statement made by Chalamet and EsDeeKid.
