Timothée Chalamet Called "Vapid" & "Shallow" After Recent Opera Comments

Timothée Chalamet, the Marty Supreme star gunning for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in the Josh Safdie movie, sparked controversy with remarks made during a conversation with Matthew McConaughey at the University of Texas at Austin in February.
