Timothée Chalamet fans are convinced he has a secret career as a rapper – and even puts on a Liverpudlian accent to throw listeners off the scent. The conspiracy theory gained traction recently after the actor appeared on the news this week – and dodged the question with a simple “no comment.”
In the interview, BBC correspondent Colin Paterson said: “You’re here in the UK. You can clear it up. EsDeeKid. What is going on?” As soon as Timothée hears the name, he shakes his head before replying: “No comment.”
Pushing further, the interviewer adds: “No comment, but give us a Scouse accent. Give us your best Beatle.” Politely refusing the request, Timothée responds: “You’ll see… all in due time.”
Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid keeps his identity under wraps, only revealing his eyes in music videos. Because of this, fans have been trying to guess who he really is.
Named one of the year’s breakout stars in 2024 by Pitchfork, EsDeeKid released his debut album Rebel in June.
While he has managed to keep his identity – including his appearance, age, and real name – a secret, he did reveal on X (formerly Twitter) that he still lives in a council house.

Commenting on BBC’s Instagram post, one user wrote: “A video clip with two EsDeeKids, the real one and Timothée, coming soon.”
Meanwhile, another added: “Why wouldn’t he just say it’s not him?”
A third user said: “It’s not him, 100%. He’s just letting this young up-and-coming British rapper have his limelight. He’s just playing around, letting people think it’s him.”
Discussing the theory on Reddit, another user said: “I definitely can see it, but I think Tim’s got straighter eyebrows and not as pointed, especially toward the center of the face. But if I hear a song about statistics, I might have to take a second look. Lol.”
Another added: “I thought people were kidding when they started the rumor mill because it’s clearly not him. I went along because I thought it was funny, but people actually believe this!?”

One more user said: “Guys, I did a huge analysis looking at pics of Timothée’s hands vs. EsDeeKid’s hands. Same exact hands. Same vein placement and everything. I should make a video about it because it’s literally proof.”
Another user noted: “Their eyes are extremely similar; I haven’t seen anything like it. Attached is a screenshot from a video. I think this could be more of an Easter egg though, because this rapper has multiple concerts planned and has already had several concerts – there’s no way Timothée could attend all of those. He also has a heavy British accent, and while Timmy is an actor, it would be quite difficult. But I think it could be a fun little prank where Timmy just gets filmed in the music videos, while the rapper himself is a different person.”
As fans try to determine whether Timothée Chalamet has secretly been producing music or whether it’s just Timothée Chalamet, the actor, has spoken about the EsDeeKid conspiracy.

Fans of Timothée Chalamet are persuaded that he has a secret career as a rapper, and he even performs with a Liverpudlian accent to spooky listeners. The actor, who appeared on the news this week and dodged the question with a straightforward “no comment,” recently sparked the conspiracy theory.
In the interview, BBC correspondent Colin Paterson said: “You’re here in the UK. You can clear it up. EsDeeKid. What is going on?” As soon as Timothée hears the name, he shakes his head before replying: “No comment.”
The interviewer goes on to say, “No comment, but give us a Scouse accent.” Give us your most admirable Beatle. Timothée responds, “You’ll see… all in time,” politely declining the request.

Although this rapper has several concerts planned and has already had several, there is no way Timothée could be able to attend all of those, I believe this could be more of an Easter egg.

The orphaned son of a TV star led his grandfather to his parents’ bodies. At their home in Hoover, Alabama, sports reporter Christina Chambers, 38, and her husband Johnny Rimes, 41, were discovered shot dead with gunshot wounds.
Their deaths, according to local police, were a murder-suicide. However, their three-year-old son was unharmed and able to escape the tragedy. Now, reports claim that their son led his grandfather to his parents’ bodies.
After they failed to attend a nearby church event, Johnny’s father, according to neighbors, had come to the family home to check on them. The three-year-old was the one who answered the door.
Charles Maple, Johnny and Christina’s neighbor, claimed that the child “answered the door.” He claimed that he was informed of this heartbreaking revelation by the local police. “And then they went back in [into the home] and they discovered the bodies,” said Maple.
It’s heartbreaking,” she says. “The couple moved in about seven years ago, and they frequently appeared content and content parents.” However, Mr. Maple claims that Johnny and Christina’s feelings weren’t working out right after the birth of their son.
He said, “I just felt something wrong.” He never expressed any concern for the safety of the child, and Christina never expressed concern for her own safety, though. He described seeing the police at the house after their deaths as “I was so shocked but for some reason, I don’t know why, I wasn’t completely shocked.”
The relative made the tragic discovery at 9am on Tuesday morning, and police were called to the couple’s home. The Hoover Police Department confirmed that Christina and Johnny had died from gunshot wounds when they arrived at the residence.
Although the investigation is still in its early stages, it appears that these deaths were the result of a murder/suicide and that this case poses no threat to the general public. Christina worked for ten years on the local news station WBRC, where she paid tribute to the presenter.
They stated in a statement to ABC 33.40 that they were “heartbroken to confirm Christina Chambers’ passing.” Christina was a valued member of our newsroom and a beloved colleague whose warmth, humor, and love of sports had a lasting effect on everyone who worked with her.
The statement continued, “Christina was a skilled journalist and athlete who brought professionalism, genuine care, and energy to her work.” She was particularly proud of her community, high school sports, and ties to UAB [University of Alabama Birmingham]. In this extremely difficult time, we are praying for Christina’s family, friends, and loved ones.
Additionally, on Tuesday, colleagues honored each other in a news release. Knowing Christina, a former colleague said, “was knowing joy.” She began working for Fox News’ affiliate WBRC in November 2015, where she concentrated on sports at college and regional high school football games in Alabama and Georgia.
She began teaching children at a nearby school after marrying Johnny and giving them advice on TV and film. She also continued working as a freelance journalist. Their deaths are still being investigated.
