Kylie Jenner pushing Timothee Chalamet to 'get some muscles' but he wants to be next Leonardo DiCaprio
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner is madly in love with Timothee Chalamet, but one thing that’s bothering her is reportedly the actor’s lean physique.
The beauty mogul, 27, wants Chalamet to gain some weight but her boyfriend is proud of how he looks and is in no mood to transform himself, a source told Radar Online.
A tipster spilled, “Timothee's always been on the bony side but seems to have gotten even skinnier in recent times. It's as though he's doing it to help his career, since the industry tends to pick actors with slender physiques and often asks them to shed weight for a part.”
Kylie Jenner feels Timothee Chalamet will 'look better with more definition' as she's ‘used to dating muscular men’
The source further revealed that is how the ‘Dune’ star is “wired in terms of metabolism, but Kylie still thinks he'd look better with more definition. She's used to dating slight but muscular men.”
But Chalamet is reportedly aspiring to “be the next Leonardo DiCaprio,” who was also quite skinny in his younger days before putting on weight in middle age.
The source claimed that Jenner is “encouraging Timothee to eat more steaks and burgers, but he's not going to do that. His friends know he leans toward a vegetarian diet and prefers vegan-friendly clothes.”
Timothee Chalamet’s weight concerns girlfriend Kylie Jenner
Though Timothee Chalamet's physique is very lean, the actor is reportedly still worried about his calorie intake.
The insider said, “He's been told he's too thin in the past, but he walks by the beat of his own drum, much like Bob Dylan did. However, Kylie wants him to get some muscles because he's a rag doll in her arms, and it bothers her!”
This came after the American-French actor disclosed that he gained around 20 pounds to play Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown’.
Timothee Chalamet was body shamed in the past
Speaking on NPR’s ‘All Things Considered’ podcast, Chalamet said, “I’ve turned over every stone. I did all the work, like you just described, physicality, behavior-wise,” as per E! News.
“But something we haven’t really talked about, I also put on 20 pounds because, believe it or not, I was thinner than the guy,” he added.
But the ‘Wonka’ star had also faced criticism for his lean body type.
In late 2024, he said, “If I auditioned for The Maze Runner or Divergent, things of that variety that were popping when I was coming up, the feedback was always, ‘Oh, you don’t have the right body.’ I had an agent that called me and said, ‘You got to put on weight,’ basically—not aggressively, but you know.”
