ICYMI: Kid Cudi and Timothée Chalamet are BFFs, and it's one of my favorite Hollywood bromances.
In fact, Timothée credits Cudi for inspiring him to pursue acting as a full-time career.
"He kinda expressed to me some of his concerns about acting, and I just tried to be big bro for him," Cudi recalled after first meeting the Dune star when he was 17 years old.
The following year, Cudi tweeted that Timmy was his favorite artist at the moment:

Naturally, Timmy had this reaction:
UHMMM OKAY STRIKE ME THE FUCK DOWN https://t.co/KcUS0avkDn
Since then, the bros have been spotted hanging out over the holidays...

...vibin' backstage at concerts...
Chillin w Willis
...taking selfies at the Met Gala...
..and stunting on red carpets together. We love to see it!
TBH, I need a guy who looks at me the way Timothée looks at Cudi.
After starring in multiple projects together, including Netflix's Don't Look Up and Cudi's 2021 documentary, A Man Named Scott, the dynamic duo teamed up once more for Netflix's newest animated series Entergalactic.
The short series is a whimsical love story that takes place in New York City, propelled by the intergalactic sounds of Cudi's latest album of the same name.
Timothée plays Jimmy, an uber-opinionated weed dealer and the best friend to Cudi's character, Jabari. Jimmy frequently offers advice to Jabari, who is quickly falling in love with his next door neighbor, Meadow, voiced by Jessica Williams (2 Dope Queens).
During a recent interview with BuzzFeed, Cudi shared the backstory of how Timothée became involved in the project. "It wasn't as hard as I thought it was gonna be," Cudi joked.
