“Usually it’s my stuntmen who do that”: eyes burned by champagne, Timothée Chalamet explodes with joy during the NBA final

We can say that he is used to the pitch, but unlike the players he prefers to stay on the sidelines to encourage them. Saturday June 13, while the Spurs faced the Knicks for the fifth time in the NBA finals, Timothée Chalamet was again in the front row. A true basketball admirer and big fan of the New York team, the actor of Dune jumped for joy when he saw the Knicks win the game, winning their third NBA championship title. Since this great victory, videos of Timothée Chalamet have made the rounds on social networks. He also celebrated this moment by being showered with champagne.

An excerpt of this moment was also shared by the Prime Video Instagram account, since the match was broadcast on the streaming platform, in which Kylie Jenner’s companion is dripping with champagne and seems to have difficulty opening his eyes which were also sprayed with alcoholic beverage. “I’m not an athlete. Usually it’s my stuntmen who do that,” he explained to the camera, rubbing his eyes. Timothée Chalamet also shared the video of this champagne shower on his Instagram account, writing in the caption: “They did it”.

He hugs the people who were next to him during the match, like actress Teyana Taylor who also jumps for joy. The actor takes out his phone every chance he gets to film this big moment. He poses alongside the players and brandishes a fake front page of the New York Post which celebrates the Knicks victory. The American newspaper will publish its own issue the next day celebrating the title of the New York team, on which we find the inscription “Champs” as on the front page of Timothée Chalamet. The actor already seemed to know how this evening was going to end.
