Timothée Chalamet’s new flex: college football analyst

Actor Timothée Chalamet strayed from his indie roots and artistic persona to immerse himself in the world of college football on Saturday when he appeared as a guest football analyst on ESPN’s “College GameDay” and announced his winners for the highly anticipated expected conference championship games.

The 28-year-old, who will star in the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” on Christmas Day, predicted that Texas would defeat the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship. The game is the biggest of the evening.

“This is a victory for the Longhorns,” the French actor said along with “GameDay” host Rece Davis, former NFL kicker Pat McAfee and former Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

During the popular pregame show, Chalamet predicted that Oregon would defeat Penn State in the Big Ten Championship.

Chalamet, whose covers of “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Girl From the North Country” were released Friday, didn’t stop there as he attempted to showcase his athletic prowess to a nationwide audience.

When it came to the Big 12 Championship, he picked the red-hot Arizona State Sun Devils to bring home the trophy against Iowa State.

“I’m suiting up for Arizona State today,” he said during the broadcast.

In the Sun Belt Conference, Chalamet chose Louisiana over Marshall.

“Billy Napier’s legend remains, the defense is strong,” he joked, referring to the current Florida Gators head coach once holding the same position at Louisiana.

And in a twist, the actor predicted that Ohio favorite Miami would lose to in-state rival Ohio University in the MAC Championship.

“These teams are 2-2 in their last four games. I’m going to be an underdog, Bobcats,” he said.

Showing his versatility as a sports guru, Chalamet chose Southern Methodist University to beat Clemson.

“It smells like the 1980s, guys,” he said.

In the SWAC Championship, Chalamet chose Jackson State University over Southern.

“I’m going with Jackson State,” he said on the broadcast. “This should be an easy win for them.”

Bob Dylan praised both the film and Chalamet, who plays the famous singer-songwriter in the film, in a post on X earlier this week.

“There’s a movie coming out about me called A Complete Unknown (what a title!),” Dylan wrote.
