"This might be the weirdest Oscar campaign ever"— Internet reacts to Timothee Chalamet dancing to iconic Black Eyed Peas song

Timothee Chalamet went live on Instagram on Monday, December 23, 2024, dancing on an empty stage with a large screen as his backdrop. The actor was seen running across the stage and later sitting on a stage, with the text on the backdrop:

“Well done! Timmy!”

He then burst party poppers in his hand as the Black Eyed Peas song, Tonight’s Gonna Be a Goodnight, played in the background. As the song ended, “Congratulations Timothee” flashed on the screen. Once several clips from Timothee Chalamet’s Instagram Live went viral on social media, multiple users began reacting to it.

An X user, @DiscussingFilm, uploaded the video of the actor on the platform, prompting another netizen to comment:

“This might be the weirdest Oscar campaign ever.”

Several netizens shared their opinions on the actor's dance moves.

“I think celebrities should keep their uninhibited celebrations to the privacy of their homes. This feels tone deaf!” commented an X user.

“I think the term “dancing” is being used very loosely here. Lol,” added another.

“I had a seizure watching this,” joked one more social media user.

However, others were left in awe of his talent and moves.

“Bro is an actor, sports commentator, and now dancer? Is there anything bro can’t do,” wrote one internet user.

“This kid has good vibes. Hope he continues succeeding with his acting career. Seems humble,” added one more.

“He's so talented,” complimented another social media user.

“Seems to be enjoying himself! Good for him!” commented another fan.
