American comedian Kevin Hart has stirred reactions online after making a comment about Timothée Chalamet during a podcast appearance. The moment happened on the Call Her Daddy podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, where Hart took part in a rapid-fire roast segment involving several celebrities.
When Chalamet's name came up, Hart made a joke about the actor's slim physique, drawing attention and sparking mixed reactions online. The segment, which was described as lighthearted and part of a roast format, also saw Hart throw jabs at other celebrities including Elon Musk and Nick Cannon.
The moment comes ahead of Hart's upcoming Netflix roast special, scheduled for release in May. Chalamet has previously spoken about his physique, revealing in past interviews that he lost out on some major film roles earlier in his career due to not fitting the expected body type, before later finding success in films like Dune and Wonka.
Mixed Reactions Online
Social media users were divided over Hart's comment. Some found it humorous, appreciating the roast-style humor, while others criticized it as unnecessary body shaming. Many defended Chalamet, noting his talent and success despite industry pressures regarding body image.
Chalamet's Journey
