The internet firestorm surrounding Timothée Chalamet’s controversial opinions on the relevance of opera and ballet is, remarkably, still a major talking point in Hollywood.

This cultural debate ignited over a month ago following Chalamet’s appearance at a high-profile Town Hall event. Sitting alongside his former Interstellar colleague Matthew McConaughey, the actor sparked an immediate backlash with his take on classical arts. “I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera,” he remarked during the session. “Things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.'”

In the weeks following, it seems nearly every major A-lister has shared their perspective on Timothée’s bold claims. The newest celebrity to join the conversation is the powerhouse Charlize Theron, who took a moment to directly address his perspective during a deep-dive feature with the New York Times.

Theron’s response surfaced during a broader discussion regarding the extreme physical demands and discipline required for professional dance. “Dance is probably one of the hardest things I ever did,” the actress noted. “Dancers are superheroes. What they put their bodies through in complete silence.”

When the interviewer playfully quipped, “Sorry, Timothée Chalamet,” Theron didn’t hold back. “Oh, boy, I hope I run into him one day,” she stated firmly. “That was a very reckless comment on an art form, two art forms, that we need to lift up constantly because, yes, they do have a hard time.”

“But in 10 years, AI is going to be able to do Timothée’s job, but it will not be able to replace a person on a stage dancing live,” Theron continued, delivering a sharp critique of the actor’s longevity versus the stage. “And we shouldn’t [expletive] on other art forms.”

“Dance taught me discipline,” Charlize explained while reflecting on her own history with the craft. “It taught structure. It taught hard work. It taught me to be tough. It’s borderline abusive. There were several times that I had blood infections from blisters that just never healed. And you don’t get a day off. I’m literally talking about bleeding through your shoes.”

“And that’s something that you have to practice every single day, the mindset of just, you don’t give up, there’s no other option, you keep going.”

To get you up to speed: After news broke that Barry and Sabrina reportedly split in late 2024 after a year of dating, the internet was flooded with rumors that he had been unfaithful to the “Espresso” singer with influencer Breckie Hill. For her part, Breckie quickly shut down the cheating speculation on her own platforms.

Despite the denial, the wave of online negativity aimed at the Saltburn star was so intense that he eventually felt forced to delete his Instagram account and release a statement regarding the “hate” he was enduring during that period.

While appearing on a recent episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Barry addressed those persistent cheating rumors directly. He shared a candid look at how the public narrative has fundamentally altered his life—and his perspective was truly heartbreaking.

“I came off Instagram and social profiles,” he confessed during the interview. “I’ve stopped going to events. I’ve stopped, you know, just, socializing. It’s because, you know, there was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on, a narrative that’s not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And, you know, I just disappeared.”

Reflecting on the unique struggles of “having a relationship in the public eye,” Barry pointed toward the video where Breckie denied the rumors. “No one seemed to latch on to that video,” he noted, expressing frustration over how the public perception has shifted since the breakup.

“I’m not asking for people to become my fan and like me because that’s not normal either,” he continued. “But I’m asking for people to stop assuming and also stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can, involving my parents who are no longer with me… just absolutely disgusting and vile. There’s videos on TikTok literally going, ‘I hate him.'”

“We’ll get in the biggest fucking fight you’ve ever heard of in your life…and five minutes later, we’re back, laughing and making music,” she explained. “It’s sibling shit. There’s nothing else in the world like sibling relationships.” It is a sentiment many with siblings can certainly relate to.

If you’re a millennial of a certain age, you know Shannon Elizabeth from a few things. Between the American Pie franchise, Tomcats, Scary Movie, and even a Jay and Silent Bob movie or two, she was arguably one of the queens of the “movies you watched at a sleepover party” subcategory.

Shannon’s acting career has remained fairly steady since then, but she recently took on a new role entirely: OnlyFans creator. She joined the service just a few weeks ago, telling People at the time that starting her own OnlyFans was because “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”
