Timothée Chalamet is known for appearing with Kylie Jenner at a number of events. However, he appeared with someone else during a recent event. Some suspected that there might be an underlying reason behind it. Keep reading for more details on what is going on.
Timothée Chalamet Appeared On The Red Carpet For The 2026 Actor Awards
As an actor, Chalamet started his career in television, such as the drama series Homeland. He later gained recognition after appearing in the coming-of-age film Call Me by Your Name. Chalamet gained later recognition after his roles in films like Lady Bird, Little Women, Beautiful Boy, Wonka, A Complete Unknown, and the Dune films.
In his personal life, Chalamet is also known for his relationship with media personality and social media influencer Kylie Jenner. The two have been in a relationship since around April 2023. Since then, the two have appeared at various events together.
Recently, Chalamet made an appearance at the 2026 Actor Awards. The event, which was streamed on Netflix, was hosted at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California.
However, to the surprise of many fans, it wasn’t Jenner who was with the famous actor on the red carpet. Instead, his special guest for the evening was his own mother, Nicole Flender.
Commenters Also Discussed A Viral Story Concerning The Actor
Vanity Fair shared a few posts of the mother and son at the show, sharing that the actor “kept with tradition, bringing his mom as his date to the Actor Awards.” Timothée had a monochrome look, with a white shirt and jacket paired with dark pants. For her part, Nicole wore a summery pink dress, likely taking advantage of the California weather.
There was speculation that Chalamet had a few special reasons to bring his mother to the event. At the time, Chalamet was a nominee for his work in the film Marty Supreme. A few saw the act as him keeping things professional and not drawing attention to his personal life. As Vanity Fair noted, there is a bit of a “tradition” of actors doing this at award shows, including the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Jared Leto.
On social media, some suspected another reason behind Timothée bringing his mother. As previously reported, the actor recently came under fire after appearing to be dismissive of opera and ballet during a recent interview.
This caused many to point out that Timothée’s own mother, Nicole, was a former Broadway dancer and performed with the New York City Ballet as a child, with other family members also having a background in ballet. Because of this, there was some speculation that this might have been meant as an apology to her.
