LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner reportedly has her sights set on Hollywood and relies on boyfriend Timothee Chalamet to help make it happen.

The beauty mogul allegedly wants to skip small roles and jump straight to major film parts with Chalamet’s support, though insiders say the plan may be causing strain between the couple.

Kylie Jenner counts on Timothee Chalamet to boost her acting career

According to RadarOnline, a source claimed Kylie Jenner is pushing Timothee Chalamet to help her secure “huge movie roles” and rise to the level of an “A-lister.”

The source stated, “She’s desperate for him to get her plum roles.” They added, “She wants to go straight to the top and be an A-lister, no bit parts for her.”

However, the Oscar-nominated actor hasn’t been successful in making this happen. “He tried to drop hints to people he knows in the business, but they’re not warming to it,” the insider said. “Industry folks don’t consider her an actress.”

The source added, “She’s a media personality. Kylie thinks she can walk into these roles, and Timothee’s telling her that’s not a possibility. It’s putting a strain on their romance as he can’t deliver what she wants.”

“It’s not just Kylie turning the screws. It’s her entire family that’s trying to capitalize on his fame, and it’s not going over well with him,” one source told the publication.

The insider continued, “Kris wants to capitalize on that to help bump up their brand and boost their ratings. They’re all trying to use him for their own gain, Kylie included.”

Insiders fear Kylie Jenner’s need for spotlight could end relationship with Timothee Chalamet

Though the couple was recently seen getting cozy at a tennis match in Palm Springs, sources claimed the public display may have had more to do with attention than affection.

“She was clearly trying to draw attention to the relationship. A lot of people are telling him that she’s using him for clout,” the insider alleged.

“If she and her family don’t reel this in, it’s hard to imagine he’ll stick around much longer.”

The source also claimed the situation could end the relationship entirely, saying the "constant meddling could cause Hollywood’s most unlikely pairing to hit the skids after only two years."
