Timothée Chalamet sparks outrage after making an insensitive joke about the late President jimmy carter on SNL.
Timothée Chalamet has found himself in hot water after making an insensitive joke about the late U.S. President Jimmy Carter during his recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) appearance. The actor, known for his charismatic roles and youthful appeal, sparked backlash when, in a skit, he shouted “Jimmy Carter!” while directing his class to fly and swim.
The joke quickly stirred controversy, with many taking to social media to express their disapproval. “Someone’s going to hell for that one,” one commenter remarked, while another user echoed the sentiment, saying, “Too soon.” Others voiced their discomfort, with one X user stating, “The Jimmy Carter bit was wild. It was funny until that line. Totally disrespectful and out of line.”
Many fans of the show expressed that while they appreciated Chalamet’s humour, they found this particular joke distasteful and uncalled for. “Yes, I have a sense of humour and love the show, but that was just horrible and too soon. I hope his family didn’t see that,” a social media user commented, indicating that they found the joke not only inappropriate but also insensitive in light of Carter’s recent passing.
This incident has added fuel to the fire surrounding Chalamet’s personal life, especially following reports of his secret romance with makeup mogul Kylie Jenner. According to insiders, the couple spent a low-key Christmas together, with Chalamet bonding with Jenner’s family. “They had a really nice dinner together with Kylie’s family and drove around to look at Christmas lights,” a source revealed to Page Six.
The insider also shared that Chalamet was particularly thoughtful, not only gifting Kylie but also picking out presents for her children, which Jenner found “sweet and thoughtful.” Despite the controversy over his SNL performance, Chalamet seems to be making efforts to forge meaningful connections with those close to him, both personally and professionally.
