“The View” cohosts slam 'vapid' and 'shallow' Timothée Chalamet over anti-opera comments: 'Be careful, boy'

The View cohosts have spoken out against Timothée Chalamet's anti-opera comments.

Key Points

• Sunny Hostin called Chalamet "vapid" and "shallow" over his words.

• Whoopi Goldberg advised, "Be careful, boy," after the Marty Supreme star said "no one cares" about those specific performing arts disciplines.

The Viewcohosts have entered a ping-pong match of words againstMarty SupremeOscar nomineeTimothée Chalamet.

Amid public blowback to theHollywood superstar's recent jabs againstthe popularity of opera and ballet, EGOT-winning actressWhoopi Goldberg, legal expertSunny Hostin, and guest cohostSheryl Underwoodall took aim at Chalamet's words on Monday's broadcast ofThe View.

Hostin advised that "ballet is hard," and told the audience, "I'm offended and disappointed in what he said. I didn't realize he was that vapid and that shallow."

Underwood, a comedian and lifelong Republican filling in for conservative cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin, chalked the 30-year-old Chalamet's ill-advised words up to "being young."

"I think he thought he could say that," she added. "First, he just made the good ping-pong movie. He's a young, handsome man, but I bet if he was playing [dancer] Rudolf Nureyev… he'd respect the art form a little bit better."

"That goes to show a lot of young people need to understand, don't just flip off and say something," Underwood said. "Really understand that your words have meaning to other young people. I think he can do it."

Underwood then looked toward the audience at home to deliver a cheeky message: "But, also, where's the camera at so I can speak to Timothée personally: Young man, if you would like to come and talk to me about this, I'm willing to hear your thoughts."

"Yes, correct, I'll join you," Hostin quipped, while Underwood exclaimed, "Tag team!"

Goldberg then stepped in, reacting to the aforementioned bit with a firm, "Yeah, no," before adding her thoughts on the matter.

"You come from a dance family, so when you crap on somebody else's art form, it doesn't feel good," theGhostandColor Purplestar said, referencing Chalamet's mother and sister's involvement in the arts he criticized. "You probably didn't realize, until you said, 'Oh, I'm in trouble,' but then you compounded it and said, '14 cents.' No, when people get mad, it'll be a lot more than 14 cents, so be careful. I'm just saying. Be careful, boy."

After the cohosts and audience reacted in light shock over Goldberg's assessment, she doubled down: "He is a boy to me," she said. "No disrespect. Really, don't apologize when you've insulted. It doesn't sound right. You can't say, 'Oh, this is dumb, no disrespect.' That's absolute disrespect."

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to representatives for Chalamet for a response.

"I don't want to be working in ballet or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore,'" Chalamet said in a recent town halldiscussionwith fellow actorMatthew McConaughey. "All respect to the ballet and opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason."

Chalamet's remarks also drew a response from the esteemed Metropolitan Opera, the Instagram account for which recentlyposted a videospotlighting the intense craftsmanship that goes into its productions.

"This one's for you, @tchalamet," the account wrote, tagging the four-time Oscar-nominee in the caption. "All respect to the opera (and ballet) people out there."

The actors, who have been together since 2011 and share two daughters, are notoriously private and don't even walk red carpets together. TheirTonight Showappearance was their first joint showbiz appearance since 2015.

Instead of focusing on Ryan's sci-fi film, many viewers fixated on the A-listers' appearance, speculating about their possible use of cosmetic enhancements.

"That's not Eva Mendes," someone wrote on X, as another shared, "Celebs need to start embracing aging."

"He looks like he had his cheeks and nose done. I can't tell with her because she has so much makeup on. It's literally caked on!" added one viewer.

Someone else said, "Both had Botox in their foreheads. Even a 10 y.o. would have lines in his forehead when looking up the way they did."

"Looks like they escaped from the wax museum," one user chimed in.

"They look like they are aging gracefully to me! I'm not an expert but they don't look like they've had any work done," countered another viewer.

Many viewers claimed the actors appeared to have excessive facial fillers

After analyzing photos and videos of Eva, plastic surgeon Dr. Sean McNally, who has not treated the couple, concluded that she doesn't seem to have undergone any plastic surgery.

"I don't see evidence of recent facial surgical procedures," Dr. Nelly toldThe Daily Mailwhen asked about Eva's youthful appearance.

Still, the surgeon believes that the actress' face isn't all-natural and attributed her look to less intrusive cosmetic procedures like Botox or fillers.

"I do suspect she's a consistent user of Botox and fillers," Dr. McNally told the outlet.

"She has little evidence of wrinkles across her forehead which would be very likely at 52 and I suspect fillers to both her lips and midface given their current volume compared to older pictures."

Additionally, the plastic surgeon believes the Miami-born actress may be getting high-end facials such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or BroadBand Light (BBL), which use filtered light to reduce dark spots on the skin.

As for Ryan, the expert also believes that theBarbieactorhasn't undergone surgery but likely received facial injections.

"In the last couple of years it appears that he's utilized filler for his midface," he said.

"This is a common spot of concern for aging since the fat pad drops and shrinks making people look older and hollow there."

Similarly, aesthetic doctor Dr. Jonny Betteridge said the Canadian star seemingly placed dermal fillers on four points in his mid-face region. He noted that the changes became visible in 2021, timed for the production ofBarbie.

While the 45-year-old actor has never addressedplastic surgery speculation, Eva toldThe Timesthat she's open to cosmetic procedures as long as they're reversible.

"I'm not afraid to try things that are safe, because most of these little treatments, let's say, are reversible," she said in 2024 when asked about her beauty regimen.

"If you get Botox, it goes away if you don't like it. There have been times where I've regretted something… and then you just wait it out."

Eva, who has been in the spotlight since her early twenties, told the outlet that she wasn't scared about turning 50 and that she feels "really f***ing s*xy at times."

"There's so many things that can make me feel s*xy and I'd say that I feel more s*xy than not. I guess because I've never considered myself beautiful, but I've always felt very s*xy."

TheTraining Daystarpreviously revealed that she had mono-threads, a treatment that removes wrinkles and boosts collagen development, giving the skin a rejuvenated appearance.

In 2020, she shared a snap to Instagram of herself with seven needles in her chin. "Here I am getting some Mono-Threads," she wrote. "Ayyyy Dios! I'll update you with the results if you care."

The following year, theHitchactress responded to a fan's comment, clarifying that she's "all for" plastic surgery.

She also addressed claims that she had been less active on social media because of botched procedures.

"As far as getting work done," Eva wrote in her post, "I'll do that whenever I please. But no, that's not the reason. The reason is I personally cannot juggle family and social media. So -big shocker -I choose family."

Eva and Ryan are parents totwo daughters: 11-year-old Esmeralda Amada and 9-year-old Amada Lee.

The couple explained that they chose the name "Amada" for both daughters because itwas the name of Eva's grandmother. It also means "beloved" in Spanish.

Eva and Ryan met while filming the 2012 crime dramaThe Place Beyond the Pines. In the film, Eva's character, Romina, has a daughter named Amada, which made her fall in love with the name even more.

"They both look fantastic," one fan said as others continued to debate whether the couple has undergone plastic surgery
