Long before Timothée Chalamet captured hearts on the silver screen, he had a lesser-known persona as Lil Timmy Tim. However, recent speculations have surfaced linking the actor to the mysterious British rapper, EsDeeKid. The public began to wonder about this potential alter ego after Chalamet’s enigmatic portrayal of Bob Dylan in the movie “A Complete Unknown.” The intrigue surrounding Chalamet’s possible dual identity piqued the interest of music fans worldwide.
During a recent radio appearance on Heart Breakfast, Timothée Chalamet addressed the swirling rumours about his connection to EsDeeKid. With a cryptic response, he teased, “All will be revealed in due time,” leaving fans curious and eager for more information. The enigmatic nature of EsDeeKid, an anonymous rapper known for wearing a balaclava during performances, added fuel to the fire of speculation.

EsDeeKid, hailing from Liverpool, has captured the attention of millions of listeners on Spotify and social media, with his debut album “Rebel” garnering widespread acclaim. Scheduled to embark on a tour through North America and Australia in early 2026, the rapper’s popularity continues to soar. Fans have drawn parallels between Chalamet and EsDeKid, noting similarities in their eyes, shared interests in hip-hop, and a mysterious aura surrounding both personas.

While the actor has not confirmed the rumours linking him to EsDeeKid, his responses to direct inquiries have been playful and evasive. When pressed about his potential alter ego during the radio interview, Chalamet coyly sidestepped the question, neither confirming nor denying his involvement. Despite mounting evidence pointing towards a connection between Chalamet and EsDeeKid, the actor prefers to keep the mystery alive.
Although the similarities between Chalamet and EsDeeKid have sparked intrigue, logistical inconsistencies cast doubt on the theory. Reports indicate that EsDeeKid performed a show in Milan on a specific date, coinciding with Chalamet’s attendance at a separate event in New York, highlighting the implausibility of the actor assuming a dual identity. These conflicting schedules suggest that the two personas may indeed be distinct individuals.
While Chalamet remains tight-lipped about any potential involvement with EsDeeKid, his affinity for hip-hop and rap music is no secret. The actor has expressed admiration for artists like Kid Cudi and showcased his own rapping skills in various performances. From portraying a rapper on Saturday Night Live to his high school rap alter ego, Lil Timmy Tim, Chalamet’s musical inclinations have been evident throughout his career.
As the speculation surrounding Timothée Chalamet and EsDeeKid continues to captivate fans and media outlets, the elusive rapper’s true identity remains shrouded in mystery. Whether Chalamet is the mastermind behind the balaclava, or merely a fan enjoying the speculation, one thing is certain – the rumours have further added to the enigmatic allure of both the actor and the rapper.
