Actor Timothee Chalamet has caught the attention of sports fans after he displayed some knowledge of college football. On Sunday, Chalamet joined ESPN's College Gameday coverage, where he shared predictions and analysis of the Conference Championship games.
The clips from his appearance on ESPN have gone viral and even appeared on "Entertainment Tonight." During an interview with ET, Chalamet discussed his guest role on ESPN. The actor said he was aiming to become a sports analyst and wanted a gig similar to Stephen A. Smith.
This has prompted Smith to respond on X (formerly Twitter), offering to become Chalamet's mentor.
"I see you little bro @RealChalamet," Smith said. "Down to show you the ropes whenever."

Timothee Chalamet is a hardcore New York Knicks fan
Timothee Chalamet and the Dune 2 cast were tested on how well they know each other in an episode of "Vanity Fair Game Show" in February. The episode featured Florence Pugh, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Javier Bardem and Chalamet.
When it was his turn, Chalamet asked his cast members if they knew his favorite NBA team. Bardem speculated that Chalamet wasn't a basketball fan, while Brolin mistakenly answered with "Rangers." However, Zendaya, Pugh, and Butler all successfully identified the New York Knicks.
In addition to sharing his favorite NBA team, Chalamet inquired if his castmates knew what the Knicks stood for. Brolin responded that it stood for "Knickerbockers," leading Chalamet to clarify that it refers to a type of pants.
Chalamet had already displayed elite ball knowledge before and had something to do with the New York Knicks.
In 2010, Knicks rookies Andy Rautins and Landry Fields went around New York to ask trivia questions. According to a tweet by Fields, whoever found them and answered their questions correctly would win two tickets to a Knicks game.
As it turns out, the person who located them was Timothee Chalamet. Not only did he find the two Knicks rookies, but he also answered their questions correctly.
Landry Fields played the first two seasons of his career with the Knicks. He went on to play with the Toronto Raptors for three seasons. He retired after a five-year career and is now the GM for the Atlanta Hawks.
Meanwhile, Rautins was taken 38th overall by New York in the 2010 Draft. He would only play in five games for the Knicks.
