Hollywood actor Timothee Chalamet is not getting much from fans and the industry after his very controversial remarks regarding ballet and opera went viral online.
The star's dismissive remarks about how nobody really watches or pays attention to opera and ballet had led stars such as Doja Cat and Jamie Lee Curtis to blast the celeb for mocking the tradition and audiences linked to these classical performances.
This swiftly drew comments from other artists and scholars as well as fans who felt the statement portrayed a serious lack of understanding regarding the cultural value of the performing arts.
Many reminded the A-List Hollywood actor that opera and ballet were not relics of the past, and they continue to remain as living traditions that need extraordinary discipline, talent, and dedication.
Singers are said to train for years to master this powerful theme that requires the strongest vocal techniques.
Dancers are also seen pushing their bodies to physical extremes to attain precision as well as grace.
