Chalamet's Ballet Blunder: A Red Carpet Romp

0:00You're listening to Durham News today, powered by the Daily News Now. Timothy Shalamey stirred some buzz before the Academy Awards when he said he had no interest in ballet or opera. This came right before his nomination for leading actor and Marty Supreme. With his grandmother and mother both retired ballerinas, the remark caught people off guard. He soon walked it back, offering full respect to everyone in ballet and opera. Shalamey even joked that he took shots for no reason at all. That lightened things up a bit after the initial backlash. At the awards show, host Conan O'Brien brought it up in his monologue. He paused while the camera showed Shalamey laughing it off. O'Brien quipped that folks were just upset he left out jazz. On the red carpet, Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary shrubbed it off too. He bet $1,000 that Shalamey would win, saying voting wrapped up long before the comments. O'Leary called it free promotion for ballet houses and opera. Shalamey never revisited the topic leading up to or during the ceremony.
