In a recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, actress Julia Roberts came to the rescue of actor Timothée Chalamet when he found himself in an awkward situation with music icon Cher. The incident occurred during a discussion about Chalamet’s performance as Bob Dylan in the film “Don’t Look Up.” Chalamet mentioned that he had the opportunity to speak with the legendary singer-songwriter, but unfortunately, the conversation did not go as planned.
Chalamet explained that he had been introduced to Cher at a Hollywood party and eagerly approached her to express his admiration for her work. However, nerves got the best of him, and he stumbled over his words, leading Cher to respond with a somewhat dismissive comment. Feeling embarrassed by the encounter, Chalamet feared that he had made a bad impression on one of his idols.
Fortunately, Roberts, who happened to be present during the conversation, intervened and lightened the mood. She jokingly scolded Cher for not being kinder to Chalamet, pointing out that he was just a young actor trying to express his appreciation. Roberts’ playful intervention not only diffused the tension but also provided comfort to Chalamet, who seemed genuinely grateful for her support.
The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of celebrity encounters and the pressure that young actors may face when interacting with their idols. In this case, Roberts’ quick thinking and humor saved the day for Chalamet, allowing him to brush off the awkward moment and continue his successful career.
