He played young Bob Dylan, young Willy Wonka, and now he could be a young rapper.
Timothee Chalamet broke his silence about the rumors that he secretly moonlights as British rapper EsDeeKid.
“I got no comment on that,” the “Marty Supreme” actor said during an appearance on “Hart Breakfast” on Thursday.
The rapper, who has a Liverpool accent, covers his face with a balaclava and hasn’t revealed details about his identity, such as his age or real name. The hosts pointed out that the sliver of his face around his eyes that he’s shown has a resemblance to Chalamet, which has sparked the rumors.
The “A Complete Unknown” actor coyly replied, “Two words: All will be revealed in due time.”
Chalamet then quipped, “That was a little more than two words.”
If Chalamet, 28, was secretly a rapper, it wouldn’t be unprecedented, as he put on a show as “Lil Timmy Tim” when he was attending Laguardia High School in New York City. He made a rap song about statistics for a class project at the time.
The question posed to Chalamet follows months of speculation that he could be the mysterious rapper.
EsDeeKid released his debut album, “Rebel,” in June, and per Spotify, he has 11.5 million monthly listeners. It includes 11 track lists with such song titles as “4 Raws,” “Cali Man,” “Prague,” “Dirty” and “Rottweiler.”
The Post has reached out to Spotify for comment.
He’s also previously rapped during an appearance on “Saturday Night Live.”
In a 2021 episode, he played a rap duo with Pete Davidson, sporting a face tattoo.
In the meantime, his acting career is ramping up, as his movie “Marty Supreme” released Dec. 25. Directed by Josh Safdie and co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow, it’s a period piece sports drama set in the ‘50s, about a ping pong player.
The Post movie critic Johnny Oleksinski called it “the best movie of the year.”
Between starring in movies, dating Kylie Jenner, 28, and pursuing “greatness,” it’s unclear when Chalamet would have time to tour Europe with a rap career, but he’s an overachiever.
In recent comments, Chalamet said, “This is probably my best performance,” per a TikTok clip shared by Screenshot HQ, adding, “and it’s been like seven, eight years that I feel like I’ve been handing in really, really committed, top-of-the-line performances.”
He added: “It’s important to say it out loud because the discipline and the work ethic I’m bringing to these things, I don’t want people to take for granted. I don’t want to take for granted. This is really some top-level s—.” The video has seemingly been deleted.
Last year, Chalamet earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for playing Bob Dylan in the biopic “A Complete Unknown.” He lost the statue to Adrien Brody for “The Pianist,” and later opened up about his disappointment.
“If there’s five people at an awards show, and four people go home losing, you don’t think those four people are at the restaurant like, ‘Damn, we didn’t win?’” Chalamet told Vogue in November. “I’ve been around some deeply generous, no-ego actors, and maybe some of them are going, ‘That was fun.’ But I know for a fact a lot of them are going, ‘F–k!’”
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck,” Chalamet added. “But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
