‘All Will Be Revealed’: Timothée Chalamet Breaks Silence On EsDeeKid Speculation
Timothée Chalamet has finally addressed the swirling rumors that he is secretly the masked UK rapper EsDeeKid, but his response has only fueled the speculation. For weeks, fans have theorized that the Oscar-nominated actor might be leading a double life as the anonymous Liverpool artist.
The speculation gained traction online due to perceived coincidences and Chalamet's past rapping as "Lil Timmy Tim". Fans have pointed out similarities in their eyes and the fact that Chalamet was seen at a Fakemink show in London, a frequent collaborator with EsDeeKid. Both have also been photographed wearing identical bandanas.
During an interview on the Heart Breakfast show on Thursday, December 11, 2025, while promoting his new film Marty Supreme, Chalamet was directly asked about the EsDeeKid rumors. Initially, he offered "no comment". However, after some teasing from the hosts, he added with a mischievous smile, "All will be revealed in due time".
EsDeeKid has been gaining popularity in the UK music scene since 2024, with hits like "Phantom", "4 Raws" and a debut album Rebel. The artist performs with a balaclava, concealing his identity and claiming to be from Liverpool. He boasts over 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, yet his real name and age remain unknown.
Chalamet's non-denial has further ignited the fan theory. Some suggest he might be waiting for the right moment to unveil his musical project, possibly in connection with a movie. Others believe he is simply enjoying the speculation and playing along.
Adding fuel to the fire, Chalamet has openly expressed his love for hip-hop and rap music over the years, citing Kid Cudi and Nicki Minaj as favorites. In 2020, he even appeared on Saturday Night Live in a sketch with Pete Davidson, playing a rapper named $mokecheddathaassgetta.
Despite the excitement, concrete evidence linking Chalamet to EsDeeKid remains elusive. The rapper's distinct Liverpool accent and frequent live performances across Europe pose logistical challenges to the theory, considering Chalamet's busy filming schedule. Industry insiders have largely dismissed the theory as fan speculation.
Adding another layer to the narrative, Chalamet has been making headlines for his comments regarding his performance in Marty Supreme. He stated in a since-deleted interview that it was "probably my best performance" and that he didn't want people to take his "top-level s---" for granted, sparking both criticism and support.
Whether Timothée Chalamet is indeed EsDeeKid remains a mystery. His cryptic response has only deepened the intrigue, leaving fans to eagerly await when "all will be revealed".
