LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Timothee Chalamet, 27, is being slammed online after footage of him smoking during Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour concert circulated on the Internet.
Recently, Chalamet and his rumored lady love Kylie Jenner, 26, were seen kissing at Beyonce’s birthday concert at Los Angeles’s SoFi Stadium on Monday, September 4, per TMZ.
While the incident marked the couple’s first official appearance together, it attracted even more attention because of Chalamet’s nonchalant behavior as he smoked in the closed stadium and allegedly ashing on strangers.
This did not go over well with fans, who had a total 'eww moment' when Chalamet smoked while spending time with Jenner during the concert.
Is it allowed to smoke inside the SoFi Stadium?
The posh stadium's website clearly mentions the venue is completely "drug-free and smoke-free environments.”
It further states clearly, “The use of drugs (including marijuana), other illegal substances and/or smoking (including vaporizers, e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco) is strictly prohibited.”
Timothee Chalamet on addiction
While fans did not like Chalamet’s smoking a cigarette at Beyonce’s concert, Chalamet is not a stranger to addiction.
While preparing and shooting for his film ‘Beautiful Boy,’ Chalamet who played the role of the meth addict teenager Nicholas Sheff, came to know about the dark side of addictions.
In an interview with W Magazine, Chalamet said, “Addiction doesn’t have a face, it has no preferred class, or gender, or race.”
He continued, “I think it’s almost easier or something to be like, ‘Oh, well, that doesn’t affect me or my family or my friends. That’s another thing. When the reality is, it’s every where.”
Citing that it was one of his favorite things about the movie, he said, “I think it’s sometimes uncomfortable for audiences where they go, ‘Why?’ And that’s not the point. It just is.”
Internet has a problem with Timothee Chalamet smoking at Beyonce concert
"I was waiting for the camera to tilt down so I could see who was getting ash in their hair," said one fan curiously.
Another criticized while sharing a GIF, "Cute but I know his breath smells like an ashtray."
The third criticized, "Smoking cigarettes at Beyonce’s birthday show is the lowest…"
Someone else criticized his smoking, "Eww he smokes !!!?"
Another user attacked the 'Dune' actor, "It crazy because you pay to attend a concert and then suffer from secondhand smoking. Not cool."
Someone else asked, "Why smoking in public ???"
"They didn't let us smoke inside but he can? cause he's famous?" lamented someone who missed smoking inside an arena.
"He is on a date? I would never date someone who smokes. their breath, the hands. not for me," quipped a fan.
Another fan commented, "WHY IS TIMOTHEE CHALAMET SMOKING A CIGARETTE INDOORS AT THE BEYONCE CONCERT AND ASHING IT ON PEOPLE UNDERNEATH HIM??????????"
Someone else declared, "I fear i have entered my timothee chalamet ick era because WHY ARE YOU SMOKING IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE."
"The most insane part about the timothee chalamet video is not the cigarette but the fact he’s smoking it inside of an arena and ashing onto random people," said another irked cybernaut.
Nevertheless, there were a few fans who defended Chalamet's action citing his French ancestry.
A fan supported him, "It’s so funny to see ppl criticize timothee chalamet for smoking a cigarette at a concert when my reaction was just “lmao he’s so French.”"
"The French in him jumped out, they can't live without their cig," a user said.
