Fans are buzzing over a new theory linking Timothée Chalamet to the enigmatic British rapper EsDeeKid, and the actor isn’t exactly denying it.

During a December 11, 2025 interview on Heart Breakfast, Chalamet, 29, was asked point-blank whether he is secretly the viral Liverpool-based rapper whose face is mostly hidden and whose real identity has remained a mystery.

“I got no comment on that. No, I mean, I got no comment,” Chalamet responded, grinning as he dodged a direct answer.

When hosts noted the similarities between Chalamet and EsDeeKid — including their striking eyes and even photographs showing them wearing the same skull scarf — the actor teased fans further:

“I’ve got two words on that… All will be revealed in due time. That was a little more than two words,” he said, laughing with a mischievous smile.

Fans Have Noticed the Similarities

The speculation linking Chalamet and EsDeeKid has been circulating for months. Fans have compared their eyes and certain fashion choices, while Chalamet’s appearance at a Fakemink show in London this August — Fakemink features on EsDeeKid’s track LV Sandals — further fueled the rumors.

EsDeeKid keeps a low profile, performing with a balaclava and offering few details about his personal life. The rapper released his debut album Rebel in June 2025 and now boasts over 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, yet his age and real name remain unknown.

Chalamet’s Love of Hip-Hop

Timothée Chalamet has long expressed his passion for rap and hip-hop. He’s cited artists like Kid Cudi and Nicki Minaj as favorites and even performed a rap sketch on Saturday Night Live in 2020 as $mokecheddathaassgetta alongside Pete Davidson.

“Let me tell you, Lil Timmy does not have the same ring to it,” Chalamet joked, referencing a viral high school rap video from 2012, further teasing fans about his musical past.

Chalamet Promotes Marty Supreme

The actor was in promotional mode for his new film Marty Supreme, which opens in theaters December 25, 2025. He stepped out at the Los Angeles premiere on December 8 with girlfriend Kylie Jenner, wearing matching orange outfits that also sparked a flurry of social media attention.

While Chalamet played coy about the EsDeeKid rumors, fans remain convinced there’s more to uncover — and the actor promises, cryptically, that all will eventually be revealed.
