Timothée Chalamet has apologized to Dave Bautista for seemingly ignoring him at the Oscars, explaining that he was simply trying to locate his mother in the crowd. The incident, which occurred at a past Academy Awards ceremony, recently resurfaced after Chalamet discussed his affection for professional wrestling with WWE champion Cody Rhodes.
Chalamet, known for his roles in films like "Dune" where he worked alongside Bautista, clarified the situation, stating that his focus was solely on finding his mother amidst the star-studded audience. This explanation comes as a relief to many who speculated about a possible rift between the two actors.
The anecdote emerged during a conversation where Chalamet shared his long-standing interest in wrestling, including WWE and ECW. His appreciation for the sport and his experience working with Bautista in "Dune" made the perceived snub at the Oscars seem out of character, prompting further inquiry and ultimately, Chalamet's explanation.
Bautista, who transitioned from a successful wrestling career to acting, has yet to publicly comment on the situation. However, given Chalamet's explanation and their professional collaboration on "Dune," it's likely that any misunderstanding has been resolved. The two actors share a connection through their work and mutual appreciation for entertainment, making the incident seem like a minor oversight blown out of proportion.
The apology and explanation have been well-received by fans, who appreciate Chalamet's candor and respect for Bautista. It highlights the often-unseen pressures and chaotic environment of live events like the Oscars, where even the most seasoned celebrities can experience moments of distraction.
In other news, Bautista has been keeping busy with several acting projects, including a role in "The Last Showgirl" (2024). Chalamet is also preparing for future roles, including one as Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown".
