So it turns out that Timothée Chalamet, 2018’s it-boy, had rap aspirations in high school, and used them to make a particularly entertaining presentation on statistics.
It also turns out that Graham Norton found said presentation, and embarrassed Timothée with it on his show earlier this week.
Yes, this is real.
Forced with the decision to present something boring and forgettable for his assignment, a young Timothée opted instead to transform into his incredibly cool alter-ego, Lil’ Timmy Tim, and submit a statistics rap.
He filmed the video with a friend using a green screen, and was originally going to include photos of his teacher’s face, hence the pointing in the GIF above. In typical teenager fashion, he got too lazy, so the video is just him in a backwards cap, rapping in front of a black background.
You can watch the musical stylings of Lil Timmy T below:

As a bonus, the ever-reliable stan contingent pointed out that this rap wasn’t the only available example of Lil’ Timmy Tim’s rap career. There’s another one from a school performance in 2012 that you can enjoy.
The rap opens with the lines “It’s time to do my dance / Timmy Tim, pull up your pants”, and includes him rapping in French, donning a pink wig, and covering Nicki Minaj’s song ‘Roman’s Revenge’. And, because it was 2012, it ends with him and his crew dancing to LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem’.
Are you surprised to learn that he went to a performing arts high school? Me neither.
Now this is the question on everyone’s lips:
when is Timothée Chalamet gonna revive his rap career
