London, December 18—Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan reunited, setting the internet ablaze by gracing the same red carpet for the first time in five years. Naturally, this wasn’t just a casual hangout at Starbucks; they were at BFI Southbank for an In Conversation event, aka a fancy way to say “Let’s reminisce while people stare at us lovingly.”
The dynamic duo, who’ve lit up our screens in Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019), shared heartfelt tidbits about their enduring friendship and the ups, downs, and general weirdness of being really, really famous.
Friendship That Survives the Busy Lives of Hollywood Stars
Saoirse Ronan, queen of relatable wisdom, shared how her friendship with Timothée has stood the test of time and Hollywood’s madness.
“We dip back in every few years,” she said, as if their friendship was a magical fountain they only visit occasionally but always remember how to find. “What’s beautiful is that we’re both killing it right now, so our paths keep crossing.” Translation? They’re too busy being iconic to hang out weekly, but when they do, it’s pure cinematic magic.
Fame? Timmy Finds It Boring
Timothée, whose cheekbones have their own fan club, was quick to downplay the whole fame thing, calling it “the most boring thing to talk about in my life.” We get it, Timmy. Being adored by millions must be exhausting.
Saoirse chimed in with her own take, saying she just pretends none of it exists. A bold strategy, considering paparazzi don’t magically disappear when you close your eyes, but hey, if it works for her, maybe we should try it next time someone asks us for our email at the checkout counter.
A Night to Remember
Fans left the event wondering if they just witnessed the modern-day equivalent of Shakespearean BFFs. Timmy and Saoirse’s undeniable chemistry (platonic, calm down, shippers) and ability to turn mundane fame-talk into a heartfelt yet hilarious moment proves why we’ll never stop rooting for them.
What’s next? Another movie together? A buddy comedy where they play themselves? A TikTok collab? Whatever it is, we’re ready, popcorn in hand.
