Timothée Chalamet was joined by Kardashian sister Kylie Jenner at the German premiere of A Complete Unknown on Friday.
Arriving for the 75th Berlin Film Festival, Chalamet took to the red carpet in an all-pink ensemble on Valentine’s Day as Jenner, a television star on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and business mogul through her cosmetics and clothing lines, sat alongside him in the theater for the screening of James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic.
As rumors about the couple increasingly dominate social media, the two stopped everyone in their tracks by sharing a kiss on camera. Jenner, in a form-fitting black dress, later stroked Chalamet’s face while he was introduced to the audience. A video of the pair, from user @joyboy on Instagram, quickly accrued thousands of views.

The French-American star arrived in Berlin to talk about his Oscar-nominated role in the film, and was immediately pressed on politics at the movie’s press conference. When asked about how playing Dylan has influenced his worldview and politics amid the “rise of populism and the extreme right,” Chalamet at first seemed to want to dodge the question.
He kept it on Bob Dylan and also referenced his starring role in Dune: “I don’t think that’s necessarily a political question,” he said. “But I think it’s in the nature of his music, the warnings against cult-like figures. I won’t speak for him, because he’s alive and well in Malibu, literally. But my interpretation is just be wary of savior-like figures. What I would have learned is what I just said, just to be wary of anyone who says they have a solution. That’s obviously a warning in Frank Herbert’s Dune.”
He took the opportunity to laud Dylan, as he usually does: “I felt he was leaving behind a road map for other artists, really — because I’m an actor, I’m not a musician — to follow. And I found that to be tremendously inspiring after that. Of course, it was James Mangold, the incredible script he wrote. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
“The whole process was really exhilarating, especially the concert stuff, the Newport Film Festival … I love this movie so much, I would do [press] for a year.” He continued: “Bob Dylan, the man, the artist, became a shining light for me and a guide for me to this day. His individuality and the refusal be a part of the masses. I had an excuse to study this man and this period for five and a half years? What a gift.”
It’ll be the last time Chalamet can speak about the film, he also added, as its press campaign draws to a close.
