Timothee Chalamet, known for having a wide circle of friends in Hollywood, is particularly close with Zendaya after their collaboration on the 2021 film 'Dune.' Despite being often pitted against each other in the industry, Chalamet has maintained strong bonds with his peers.
In October 2024, during an appearance on 'The Tonight Show', Jimmy Fallon shared a clip of Chalamet praising Tom Holland, as per People. Fallon pointed out that Chalamet is a big fan of Holland, saying, "He recently made a flattering statement about you."
The clip showed Chalamet and Keegan-Michael Key playing the LADbible TV game “Agree to Disagree” where they were asked if Chalamet is better-looking than Holland. Chalamet quickly responded, "I'm going 'strongly disagree' on that. Tom is the ultimate rizz master. The internet knows this, Zendaya knows this, everyone knows this. Ultimate rizz master."
Holland, when shown the clip, seemed amused. Fallon then asked, "Do you agree Tom Holland is the ultimate rizz master?" To which the 'Spider-Man' star laughed and replied, "I’d have to say I strongly agree."
In a June 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland also spoke fondly of Chalamet, saying, "We'’re obviously very often part of the same conversation. I admire him. I really like him as a friend. And he’s a good ally to have in a business that’s pretty cutthroat."
Chalamet is also known for being friends with other stars, including Selena Gomez, Florence Pugh, and Pete Davidson, according to Us Weekly. Additionally, Chalamet has remained close with Kiernan Shipka since their time working together on the 2015 film 'One & Two' and with Kid Cudi after spending quality time together at a Montreal show, maintaining their bond over the years.
