You could almost hear the cries of distress as the cameras panned around the Beverly Hilton ballroom on Sunday night – and showed actor Timothee Chalamet enjoying a 'date night' with girlfriend Kylie Jenner at the Golden Globes. Chalamet, 29, who was nominated as best actor for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, has only – only! – 19.5million followers on Instagram to Jenner's 395million, but in the hours after this rare public appearance it felt as if most of those fans were on TikTok, sharing their sorrow, horror and distaste.

Some simply couldn't bring themselves to believe that Chalamet, their delicate dreamboat, was entangled with a pillow-lipped Kardashian, whose family, they believe, is a byword for vulgarity. Despite semi-regular sightings in the two years they have been dating, the 'Chalamaniacs', as they're known, have clung to the belief that the romance is a PR stunt, or that it was already over.

As recently as last week the couple were said to have broken up (although at the same time a rumour was circulating that Jenner was pregnant). As one fan sighed: 'I always assumed he was more highbrow than to hook up with someone from that wretched clan, but I stand corrected.' Another simply said: 'I curse Timothee Chalamet.'.
A third suggested he might be mentally ill. Or perhaps he had been paid to be there: 'Maybe Kris [Jenner, Kylie's mother and manager] wrote him a big fat check to take her special little girl as his date. He probably made more on this date than his take home from the movie.'.
