Overview
- Speculation began with TikToker KJ Freeman’s video and quickly drew millions of views, spawning side‑by‑side comparisons and fan sleuthing.
- Supporters cite circumstantial links such as Chalamet attending a Fakemink show, his accent work, similar scarves and buzz cuts, eye comparisons, and the shared double “ee” in their names.
- Chalamet reportedly commented with an eyes emoji on an Instagram post discussing the rumor, and neither his team nor EsDeeKid responded to media requests for comment.
- Reporters note EsDeeKid’s sparse digital trail on Bandlab, Tumblr and Letterboxd and point to profiles listing the name “Damario Jones,” while skeptics highlight vocal differences.
- Coverage suggests the attention is boosting interest in EsDeeKid’s announced North American and Australian tour dates slated for early 2026.
