Ballet dancer Misty Copeland has criticized Timothée Chalamet for his remarks about ballet and opera, stating that he wouldn't be an actor if it weren't for these mediums. Copeland was part of a Marty Supreme film promo and shared a photo of herself dancing on Instagram from 2025. She argued that while ballet isn't popular, it still has enduring relevance in culture. Both Copeland and Chalamel are scheduled to appear at the Oscars on March 15.
