Kylie Jenner Reveals Her Top Timothee Chalamet Movies in a Candid Chat With Kid Cudi
On the April 1 episode of Kid Cudi’s Big Bro podcast, Kylie Jenner gushed that picking a favorite from boyfriend Timothée Chalamet’s filmography is nearly impossible — and Cudi, a longtime pal of the actor, is right there with her.
Kylie Jenner hopped on Kid Cudi's mic and, yes, it turned into a low-key Timothee Chalamet appreciation session. Cudi then dropped a genuinely sweet origin story about his friendship with Tim and their movie- night tradition. Add in Kylie explaining why she keeps the romance off the grid, plus that January awards speech where Tim thanked his 'partner of three years' and had everyone doing calendar math.
Kylie on Timothee's best work
On the Wednesday, April 1 episode of Kid Cudi's 'Big Bro' podcast, Kylie (28) tried to pick her favorite Chalamet movies and immediately realized that was a trap. She called 'Call Me by Your Name' pretty much flawless and put both Dune films right up there too.
How Cudi and Tim became movie buddies
Kid Cudi (real name Scott Mescudi, 42) first met Timothee (30) at one of his shows in Montreal when Tim was 17. Years later, Cudi kept hearing this now-grown-up actor thank him in awards speeches and thought, wait, who is this guy and why does he not look like the kid from that concert?
Tim's team reached out, they connected the dots, and Tim celebrated the reunion by buying tickets for the two of them to see 'Call Me by Your Name' at a theater in Los Feliz. That kicked off their thing: watching Tim's movies together whenever they come out.
Wonka count: seven
Kylie wasn't with Cudi at his 'Wonka' screening, but she has seen the movie seven times on her own. She remembered the guys' screenings and called that whole phase fun.
Where Kylie and Tim stand
They've been dating since early 2023 and have mostly kept it private. On a December 2025 episode of The Kardashians, Kylie explained that she's learned to tune out the noise, make choices that feel right to her day by day, and navigate fame the only way she can after growing up in it.
The January speech everyone noticed
In January, Timothee picked up a Critics Choice Award for Best Actor for a project he called 'Marty Supreme' and made a point to thank his partner. The phrasing raised eyebrows because of the timeline, but the sentiment was crystal clear:
"Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
