Chalamet's Lucid Car Towed After Oscars Roasting

Timothée Chalamet's recent experiences have been marred by public scrutiny, culminating in his high-end Lucid Air electric car being towed from his Beverly Hills residence on a recent Saturday. This incident follows a widely discussed and reportedly difficult evening for the actor at the 2026 Academy Awards. Despite being nominated for Best Actor for his role in 'Marty Supreme,' he lost the award and became the subject of numerous jokes and critical commentary.

The roasting began during the ceremony's opening monologue and continued throughout the night. Chalamet's controversial remarks about ballet and opera were frequently referenced, with host Conan O'Brien even making a quip about security concerns from arts communities. His fashion choices, an all-white suit, also drew significant social media backlash, with some users comparing him to a 'milkman' and others deeming the outfit a 'mess.' Body language expert Judi James observed Chalamet's reaction as 'chastened,' noting his girlfriend Kylie Jenner's protective demeanor.

Further jabs came from fellow honorees, including Alexandre Singh, who subtly referenced Chalamet's views on art during his acceptance speech. Chalamet also had to endure a ballet performance by Misty Copeland, who had previously publicly disagreed with his comments on the relevance of ballet and opera. The towing of his Lucid Air car adds another layer to this period of public discomfort for the actor.
