Celebrated young actor Timothee Chalamet, fresh from the glow of his beloved New York Knicks taking home the NBA championship for the first time since 1973, is now the star in a series of avant-garde ads for Kalshi.
The ads consist of Chalamet in a dentist's chair mumbling the word "Kalshi" through a dental dam; jumping to an absurd height to bang his head against the ceiling trying to get his upstairs neighbor to turn down music; and Chalamet playing — not exactly melodically — a keyboard in a music store.
None of the ads come anywhere close to mentioning anything such as "betting" or "trading," but the backlash from fans and followers was swift and furious.
On Chalamet's Instagram, where he posted the ads, many people were aghast at his decision to be a Kalshi pitchman.
"Bro sold his soul," said JoyBoy in the comments section of Chalamet's Instagram post.
