"being in movies is at least preferable to trying to work in ballet or opera where 'It's like, Hey, keep this thing alive.' Even though it's like, no one cares about this anymore. All respect to the ballet and opera people out there."
"only an insecure artist tears down another discipline to elevate their own."
"with love - that he felt compelled to respond to Chalamet's comments about ballet and opera. At La Guardia, we do rank art forms"
Timothée Chalamet sparked controversy after remarks made during a CNN and Variety town hall with Matthew McConaughey, suggesting that working in movies is preferable to ballet or opera because "no one cares about this anymore." Despite offering respect to those art forms, his comments went viral and prompted significant backlash. Ballet and opera communities responded critically, with dancer Anna Yliaho stating that insecure artists tear down other disciplines to elevate their own. His high school principal from LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts publicly responded with concern, while Doja Cat and Saturday Night Live also addressed the controversy. Industry observers questioned whether the remarks damaged Chalamet's Oscar prospects.
