'The View' co-hosts drag 'vapid' Timothée Chalamet after his ballet and opera diss

'The View' co-hosts drag 'vapid' Timothée Chalamet after his ballet and opera speech “The View” co-hosts responded to Timothée Chalamet after the actor’s anti-ballet and opera comments went viral. Chalamet became enraged when he called ballet and opera dying art forms that “nobody cares about anymore” in a town hall with Matthew McConaughey that aired on CNN. On Monday's episode of “The View,” Sunny Hostin said that, as a member of the Dance Theater of Harlem, she was “offended and disappointed” by the actor's comments. "I didn't realize it was so vapid and superficial," he stated bluntly. Sheryl Underwood, who was filling in for Alyssa Farah Griffin while she was on maternity leave, attributed the timing to Chalamet, who is 30, being "young." "And you sitting with Matthew McConaughey and all of you doing kiki and cutting him up... I think he thought he could say that," she said. "First of all, he just made a good ping-pong movie. He's a handsome young man, but I bet if he played [dancer] Rudolf Nureyev... he'd respect the art form a little more." “It shows that many young people need to understand, not just say something,” he continued. “Really understand that your words have meaning to other young people.” But Whoopi Goldberg wasn't about to give Chalamet any grace, especially considering her mother and sister have worked in ballet.

"You come from a dance family, so when you shit on someone else's art form, it doesn't feel good," she explained. "It doesn't feel good to see it." He also had a problem with Chalamet joking after his comments insulting ballet and opera: "All due respect to the ballet and opera people... I just lost 14 cents in audience." Goldberg mused, "You probably didn't realize it until you said, 'Oh, I'm in trouble,' but then you compounded it and said '14 cents.' No, when people get angry, it's going to be a lot more than 14 cents." “So be careful,” he continued. "Just saying. Be careful, boy." When the audience reacted in shock to her comments, she doubled down. "He's a kid to me," Goldberg emphasized. "No disrespect. Seriously, don't apologize when you've sworn because it doesn't sound right. You can't say, 'Oh, this is stupid,' without disrespect. That's absolutely disrespectful." While Chalamet's ballet and opera caused outrage over the weekend, he has actually made similar comments before. While promoting “The King” in 2019, he reflected on his start as an actor, sharing, “There's no 'woe is me' thing, but you start working in movies, you start acting and you start pursuing your thing.” "I started to get the feeling that maybe it was opera or ballet or something, it's like a dying art form or something," he continued.
