A new TikTok-fueled theory is sending the internet into detective mode: some users believe the anonymous U.K. rapper EsDeeKid might actually be Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet. What began as a single viral video has spiraled into a full-blown online investigation, with fans compiling “evidence” and sharing comparisons across social platforms.
Who Is EsDeeKid?
EsDeeKid is a rising rapper from Liverpool who’s been climbing the singles charts since 2024. Part of his appeal is the air of mystery surrounding him, he performs in a balaclava or full face covering and maintains an extremely low profile online. Nearly everything about his identity is unknown, which has only encouraged speculation.
Why the Chalamet Theory Took Off
The viral TikTok that sparked the conversation highlights several supposed similarities, including:
- Visual comparisons of Chalamet’s eyes with EsDeeKid’s (though these are far from reliable)
- Chalamet’s well-known love of hip hop, frequently mentioned in interviews
- Both figures seemingly owning the same style of bandana, which some users cite as “evidence”
None of this confirms anything, but it has been enough to keep TikTok’s amateur sleuths busy.
The Counterarguments
Many commenters point to EsDeeKid’s strong Scouse accent as a clear debunking of the theory. However, others argue that Chalamet (known for his accent work) could theoretically pull it off as part of a persona. Still, accent speculation alone doesn’t provide concrete proof in either direction.
So… Could It Be True?
As of now, there is no verified evidence linking EsDeeKid to Timothée Chalamet. The theory remains an internet curiosity fueled by anonymity, coincidence, and TikTok’s love of a good mystery.
What is clear is that EsDeeKid’s mystique is working, whether or not there’s a Hollywood A-lister behind the mask.
