Timothée Chalamet has finally addressed rumours suggesting that he's actually masked Scouse rapper EsDeeKid.
The American actor has worked extremely hard to become one of the ultimate Hollywood stars in recent years, even publicly outlining his intention to become 'one of the greats'.
Chalamet, who is in a relationship with Kylie Jenner, said this and in a speech after winning Best Actor at the SAG Awards, mentioning the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis and Viola Davis as inspirations.
With the imminent release of Marty Supreme, the 29-year-old's latest project which adds to the Dune series, A Complete Unknown and Wonka among other titles in Chalamet's filmography, it's fair to say that he is en route to achieving his goal.

The actor's down-to-earth persona has also won fans over in interviews, even openly showing his support for sports teams such as the New York Knicks and St Etienne FC, in France.
But while it looks like the actor likes to spend his spare time delving into his hobbies, you wouldn't think that he'd be able to pull off a double-act as an alt-rapper from Liverpool of all places.
It's long been rumoured that EsDeeKid, an up-and-coming rapper known for concealing his face with a balaclava, is actually Chalamet in disguise.
The Scouse artist has never publicly revealed his name, age, or any other personal information as he's known for his mysterious persona which he doesn't break in public.
He raps with a thick Liverpudlian accent too, though he has previously claimed on X that he still lives in his council house despite his rise to fame.
Social media users have long theorised that Chalamet could be the rapper after all due to their apparent similarities in appearance and especially their eyes, though it would be impressive if Lisan al-Gaib himself was able to pull off an accent that flawless despite never living in the UK.
Speaking during an interview with Heart Radio, he was asked by the hosts if he knew who EsDeeKid was, and that his fans have 'lost their minds', before asking if he was really the rapper.
He ominously replied: "I got no comment on that."
The hosts then pushed him for an answer, before the actor said he had 'two words' on the subject, before zoning out and struggling to think of something on the spot.
"All will be revealed in due time," the actor then said, leaving the hosts, one of whom was Amanda Holden, in awe.
The radio show hosts then reminded him that he was once known as 'little Timmy' when he rapped as a kid in school, as he quipped that it 'sounds like something else', with the unintentional leaving Holden in bits.
"You went to a dark place," Chalamet said to the mum-of-one.
EsDeeKid's single 'Phantom' with Rico Ace has got tens of millions of streams on various platforms, with 'Rebel' charting in countries across Europe while managing to make number 67 on the US Billboard 200.
Surely one of the most famous movie stars in the world isn't moonlighting as a rapper from the North West, right? Right?
