The ongoing reverberations from Timothée Chalamet’s remarks about the irreevcy of ballet and opera continue to grow, with fresh backlash coming from someone who helped market his last film.

Ballet dancer Misty Copeland, who was used in the promotion for Marty Supreme (his Oscar card) has now taken aim at the thrice Oscar nomine over comments made during CNN event in which he said he didn’t want theatrical movie going to end up like the “ballet or opera,” where artists want to “keep this thing alive” even though “no one cares” about it anymore.

My Oscar Book:

“I think that it’s important that we acknowledge that, yes, this is an art form that’s not ‘popular’ and a part of pop culture as movies are, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have enduring relevance in culture.”

In the clip shared on social media, Copeland also said that there was “a reason that the opera and ballet have been around for over 400 years,” adding that “[Chalamet] wouldn’t be an actor and have the opportunities he has as a movie star if it weren’t for opera and ballet and their relevance in that medium. So all of these mediums have a space and we shouldn’t be comparing them.”

Last week, London’s Royal Ballet and Opera took to Instagram to share footage of its craftspeople and performers in an apparent response to Chalamet.

The caption of the post read, “Every night at the Royal Opera House, thousands of people gather for ballet and opera. For the music. For the storytelling. For the sheer magic of live performance. If you’d like to reconsider, Timothée Chalamet, our doors are open.”

Half jokingly, The Seattle Opera began offering discounted tickets for its production of “Carmen” for people using the promo code “Timothée.”
