"I don't want to be working in ballet or opera... Things where it's like, Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this any more. All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there ... I just lost 14 cents in viewership. Damn, I just took shots for no reason."
"Why are any artists taking shots at any other artist in the time [when] artificial intelligence threatens literally all art forms, except performing art like plays, ballets and operas and musicals."
"The tickets to the opera and ballet are mad expensive, because it's high art. Ain't nobody dressing up to see Wonka."
Timothee Chalamet sparked significant controversy after commenting during a CNN/Variety video conversation that he wouldn't want to work in ballet or opera because no one cares about these art forms anymore. Though he attempted to backtrack with apologies, the remarks triggered substantial backlash from the entertainment community. Broadway dancer Zach McNally questioned why artists criticize other art forms, particularly when artificial intelligence threatens most creative fields except live performing arts. Jamie Lee Curtis amplified the criticism by resharing McNally's video and promoting opera and ballet companies. Dancer and choreographer Amar Smalls also responded by defending these elite art forms, noting their cultural significance and expense. The controversy emerged shortly before the Academy Awards, where Chalamet was competing for best actor.
