Justin Bieber finds new confidant in Timothee Chalamet as they bond over Selena Gomez links: Source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber is switching up his crew, and his latest confidante is none other than Timothee Chalamet!
Insiders have revealed that the new friendship between the two evolved as they bonded over their pasts and a surprising link to Selena Gomez.
Timothee Chalamet becomes Justin Bieber’s trusted confidant
Over the past couple of years, Justin Bieber has quietly distanced himself from some of the key players who’ve been by his side since the early days of his fame.
This includes longtime manager Scooter Braun and Ryan Good, who served as stylist, road manager, and Drew House creative director.
According to a source speaking to Daily Mail, the Oscar-nominated actor and the 'Peaches' singer have struck up a close friendship, one that blossomed thanks to Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber.
The insider revealed that the two stars “met through Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber, and they’ve been buddies ever since!”
The bond goes beyond surface-level hangs. “The 31-year-old singer considers Timmy one of his very close confidantes, someone he can talk to and get advice from,” the source added.
Justin Bieber and Timothee Chalamet’s friendship is more than casual meet-ups
Justin Bieber and Timothee Chalamet are often spotted around Los Angeles grabbing food or coffee, particularly at hotel cafes tucked away in Beverly Hills, places that offer a bit more privacy for their deep convos.
After all, these aren’t just casual catch-ups. The insider noted their talks can get pretty intimate, and the pair likely prefer to avoid the risk of eavesdroppers leaking their tea to gossip outlets like DeuxMoi.
Reportedly, their connection runs deeper than just vibes and lattes. Both began working in the entertainment industry at a young age. Justin rocketed to music fame at just 15, while Chalamet's acting career kicked off in commercials, short films, and a brief stint on 'Law & Order' before his breakout role in 'Call Me by Your Name'.
As the insider explained: “Timothee knows what it is like to start working at a young age, so Justin can relate to him. He is also really good at handling fame and gives advice to Justin.”
That advice has been especially valuable as Justin continues to deal with intense public scrutiny, including rampant divorce rumors, something he’s firmly dismissed as “gossip” and “lies.” Still, it takes a toll. That’s where Chalamet comes in.
Timothee Chalamet and Justin Bieber share connection through Selena Gomez
“He tells Justin to not take it all so seriously and just cut loose, be yourself. He is a great influence on Justin, a rock, because he is so stable whereas Justin is more emotional. Timothee also has that New Yorker sensibility where he just doesn’t care, he does his thing and he doesn’t give a crap what people say,” the source said.
And if that isn’t enough of a bonding point, there’s another unexpected connection: Selena Gomez. Justin and Gomez had a high-profile on-again-off-again romance that lasted years.
Meanwhile, Chalamet played her love interest in Woody Allen’s 2019 film 'A Rainy Day in New York'.
Both kissed Gomez on-screen or off, but according to the source, that bit of history hasn’t ruffled any feathers between them.
The friendship also makes sense when you consider the Hollywood social web.
Hailey Bieber is tight with Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Kylie just so happens to be dating Chalamet. The whole crew even hung out together at Coachella earlier this month.
“Hailey spent a lot of time with Kylie at Coachella, she even shared photos of her on social media. They are tight,” the source concluded.
