Please can someone explain the attraction / obsession with this young man? I just don’t get it?!

Amazing in The King and phenomenal in Beautiful Boy. We really rate him in our house. I’m only disappointed he’s with one of those Kardashian’s

What a phenomenal film Beautiful Boy is. Must re-watch.

Do sensitive poets not indulge?

Oh of course, it’s just he was portraying the image of being sensitive and deep, but he’s not into the sensitive indie girls - he likes the girls with BBLs and massive boob implants - he’s not talking to them about Nietszche and art is he? He exploded the fantasy a lot of teenage girls had about him, that he’s a genuinely and attainable person. It was an interesting choice to do to go public with Kylie Jenner for that reason

And I know many men are like this - I had my own heart broken by enough boys I thought were deep and sensitive who turned out to be all about easy sex with whoever…

MrsChristmasHasResigned · 19/12/2025 12:16

He is a great actor I think, and has charisma on screen. But not my personal cup of tea looks wise - although why would he give a fuck about that!

MovedlikeHarlowinMonteCarlo · 19/12/2025 12:46

The Kylie Jenner relationship does make me side eye him.

It may be unfair as you can't help who you love but I can't help it.

Decent actor and very likeable on Graham Norton. Kylie Jenner obviously likes him too!

I wonder if the Kylie Jenner connection is some sort of work experience programme for a role he’s training for? He spent 7 years learning to play the guitar, 5-6 years on table-tennis … maybe a tinseltown-reality-star type role awaits.

He strikes me as more Stanislawski that Kardashian iykwim.

One of his earliest gfs was Madonna’s daughter, Lola. I believe that they went to high school together, he’s also dated Johnny Depps/ Vanessa’s paradis daughter (lily?)

Yes he certainly seems to have a type, I noticed he seems to have a penchant for high profile GFs eg nepo babies and now a Kardashian.

Never heard of him.

This was pretty much all the local indie boys at my Scottish university in the 90s. All massive shaggers with zero morals to a man (boy)😃

He is half French and is fluent in French. He did an interview on French TV in French to promote Call Me By My Name.

is this a reason to be obsessed with him?!

Lincslady53 · 19/12/2025 18:32

Pre the launch of A Complete Unknown, he was on SNL in America and sang some brilliant Dylan songs.

Of course not! I’m just liked hearing him speak French. I like a man who is bilingual!

Gorgeous in Dune, I thought (not a fan of the neerw 70s mustachio pimp look tho but tbf every 20 something young male in London looks the same at the moment)

I agree, he was truly gorgeous in Dune, but looks far less special IRL with the pretend moustache - and as @MayaPinion says I'm way outside the target demographic (at 73!).

xmasstress12 · 19/12/2025 19:00

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I mean, I don’t know the man, obviously, but his film choices alone make him something different to the usual cookie-cutter male starlet type — he makes interesting choices.

You have drank the Kool aid!

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 19/12/2025 19:00

Comes from a very smart well connected family.

Was he naned after Timotei shampoo?
Poor joke l know but I'm couldn'td resist

Annella · 19/12/2025 19:50

He’s stunningly talented. I remember watching him in Homeland when he was about 15 and I knew then that he was going to be the actor of his generation. I’ve watched a few interviews too and I can’t see how anyone could have a bad word to say about him.

ColdHenrietta · 19/12/2025 20:16

As others have said, any apparent ‘obsession’ in the media is only promotion for his films. 🤷‍♀️

I don’t believe in or care about superstars apparently dating other superstars as I’m not in a position to know whether they’re genuine or not. Self promotion is surely built into a Hollywood actor’s career model.

But he’s very, very pretty. And good at his job. Versatility is definitely a thing. He was frankly stunning in a tiny part in ‘Don’t Look Up’. I disliked quite a lot in the ‘Dune’ films, but none of that was his fault. And I’m not sure I could have got to the end of ‘Bones and All’ (one of the most disturbing films I’ve ever seen in my life) without him in it.

I have tickets to Marty Supreme on Boxing Day!

CherryRipe1 · 20/12/2025 04:34

I was kind of 'meh' about him & thought he looked ferretty then watched The King and thought he was fabulous, very talented with stage presence. He's not your average beefed up Hollywood hunk.

Moaningminnieagain · 20/12/2025 05:22

The only thing I find weird is the Kylie Jenner thing but they have a lot of clout and he clearly wants success at any cost. I think he knows just being a great actor isn't enough, he wants to be famous as well as win all the awards. Plus he gives her credibility at the same time.

dinesaurrawr · 20/12/2025 06:43

little Timmy Tim is back 😆 he has released a video with esdeekid ! Some interesting lyrics, his dick is restless apparently

MarshaMarshaMarsha · 20/12/2025 06:48

EchoedSilence · 18/12/2025 20:01

i think he's beautiful. The Ad he does for chanel makes me swoon.

This! I hadn’t looked twice at him
until this advert (or in anything else since)… But wow it does something to me! 🤣 sadly not seen it on as much this Christmas!

Emeraldforest · 20/12/2025 08:33

I think he's very talented.

Supersares · 20/12/2025 08:43

OrangeAxolotyl · 18/12/2025 19:21

Nor me. I can't see the appeal, but I'm old so I asked my daughter and she doesn't get it either!
Who knows.
Then again I never understood the appeal of Leonardo di Caprio, he just looks like a young Norman Lamont.

Norman Lamont would be very flattered by this comparison 😂
