7 Jan
Summary
- Timothée Chalamet discussed Diogo Jota with rising star Owen Cooper.
- Cooper, 16, denied being from Liverpool despite his phone background.
- Chalamet won Best Actor, while Cooper secured best supporting actor.
During the recent Critics' Choice Awards, a viral moment occurred when Timothée Chalamet engaged with emerging talent Owen Cooper. Chalamet, fresh off winning Best Actor for his role in "Marty Supreme," was seen asking Cooper about his phone's background image.
The image appeared to be a tribute to the late Liverpool FC footballer Diogo Jota. Chalamet responded with "Diogo Jota RIP" and then questioned Cooper about his origins, specifically asking if he was from Liverpool. Cooper, who hails from Warrington, Cheshire, a town approximately 16 miles away, indicated he was not from Liverpool and noted the absence of a Scouse accent.
This exchange gained traction online, particularly as Chalamet had recently addressed rumors of being an anonymous Liverpool rapper. Meanwhile, Cooper, recognized for his performance in the popular Netflix psychological crime drama "Adolescence," received the award for best supporting actor in a limited series, capping off a remarkable year for the young actor.
