Before the New York Knicks face off again against the Boston Celtics tonight, the surest bet you could place in advance would be that Timothée Chalamet will be there: sitting courtside, hyping up his beloved team, and wearing some sort of charmingly slovenly ensemble.
The actor and native Manhattanite, whose childhood apartment in Hell’s Kitchen was approximately a 15-minute walk from Madison Square Garden, has gone out of his way to attend the team’s playoff games this season, carving out time in his busy Hollywood schedule to jet between arenas. This love is serious: He went to Detroit to cheer on the Knicks. He skipped the Met Gala to watch the game on an iPad. Hell, he’s even got his “born-and-raised LA baddie” girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, cheering on his home team!
And for as long as Timmy’s been famous enough to sit (and be photographed) amongst the VIPs in the Garden’s Celebrity Row, he’s steadily built up his blue-and-orange wardrobe. Though the actor’s been bing-bonging since long before he was rubbing elbows with fellow Knicks fanatics like Ben Stiller and Spike Lee, he only recently started really dressing like a high-profile superfan. Luckily for us, the internet has photo documentation of every Knicks game Chalamet has attended in the last seven-ish years. Let’s review, shall we?
