(NewsNation) — Timothée Chalamet has two words for fans who think he’s masquerading as a secret British rapper: No comment.

The Oscar-nominated actor was on the “Heart Breakfast” radio show Thursday where he played coy when asked if he was viral rapper EsDeeKid.

“Your fans have lost their minds, and they are saying that you are EsDeeKid,” host Amanda Holden told Chalamet. Her co-host, Jamie Theakston, then asked him, “Is that true?”

“I got no comment on that,” replied Chalamet.

Who is EsDeeKid?

EsDeeKid, who may or may not be the “Marty Supreme” star, is a viral balaclava-wearing UK rapper who released his debut album “Rebel” in June. He has 11.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

While keen-eyed fans have said that Chalamet and the “Century” rapper share certain characteristics, like their eyes, something that Holden commented on, he wouldn’t confirm if they’re one and the same.

“I’ve got two words on that,” Chalamet said before hesitating. “Two words: All will be revealed in due time. That was a little more than two words.”
