"Luca Guadagnino stated, 'I am not on social media and don't understand how one [single] comment can become a planetary polemic. Chalamet could have spared himself ... but he's young, smart, sensitive, and he fears that cinema could become marginal. And that's why every form of imagination should be nurtured.'"
"Alex Beard remarked, 'I thought it important that we didn't issue a kind of hoity-toity response to Chalamet. We simply said 'Take a look at what we're doing, mate,' and our ticket sales got an immediate boost. So cheers, Timmy!'"
Timothée Chalamet faced backlash after stating he didn't want to work in ballet or opera, leading to jokes about him. Luca Guadagnino defended Chalamet, questioning the uproar over a single comment and emphasizing the importance of nurturing all forms of art. Guadagnino noted Chalamet's sensitivity towards cinema's future. Meanwhile, Alex Beard from London's Royal Ballet and Opera reported a significant increase in ticket sales following Chalamet's remarks, highlighting a positive outcome from the controversy.
