Kylie Jenner’s BAFTAs Moment with David Tennant Has Fans Losing It
Kylie Jenner fans were sent into a frenzy on Sunday night after BAFTAs host David Tennant delivered a playful moment with the beauty mogul and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, during the star-studded ceremony in London. The lighthearted interaction quickly became a viral sensation, with social media users joking that Kylie was “not in Calabasas anymore.”
The 27-year-old reality star, who attended the event to support Timothée’s Best Actor nomination for his role in A Complete Unknown, looked radiant in a sleek, backless sequined gown. Meanwhile, Timothée, 29, oozed sophistication in an all-black ensemble, complete with a sparkling diamond necklace.
As David Tennant took the stage, he couldn’t resist acknowledging the Hollywood power couple. With his signature wit, he joked, “We have royalty in the room tonight, and no, I’m not talking about King Charles—I’m talking about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet!” The audience erupted into laughter, while cameras panned to a giggling Kylie and a blushing Timothée.
The moment didn’t take long to dominate social media. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with reactions, with one user tweeting, “Kylie Jenner being playfully called out by David Tennant is peak British humor. She’s definitely not in Calabasas anymore!” Another quipped, “The crossover I never knew I needed: Kylie Jenner and Doctor Who himself!”
Others couldn’t help but praise the couple’s chemistry. “Kylie and Timothée’s reactions were everything! They look so happy together,” gushed a fan.
The playful exchange added a refreshing twist to an evening filled with high fashion and serious award moments. It also showcased Kylie’s growing comfort within the elite film industry circles—a stark contrast to her usual domain of reality TV and beauty empires.
David Tennant Roasts Timothée Chalamet on Stage
The former Doctor Who actor, who hosted the prestigious British awards at the Royal Festival Hall, couldn’t resist poking fun at the Wonka star.
Tennant quipped that Chalamet was actually the “runner-up” in a Timothée Chalamet lookalike competition he attended last October. Addressing the crowd, he joked:
“We are very privileged tonight to be joined by the runner-up in New York’s recent Timothée Chalamet competition. Welcome to the BAFTAs. I can see it, young man. There is a definite likeness, isn’t there? How long are you in London?”
Chalamet, taking it in stride, responded: “Three days.”
Tennant wasn’t done yet, humorously critiquing Chalamet’s voice:
“You’ve got to work on the voice—not quite got the voice yet. Lovely attention to detail, though—he is with a Kylie Jenner lookalike.”
Fans React: ‘She’s Not in Calabasas Anymore!’
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) in droves on Sunday night, expressing their delight and amusement over the unexpected interaction between Kylie Jenner and Scottish actor David Tennant at the BAFTAs. The playful exchange quickly became a trending topic, with social media users reveling in the unlikely crossover between the reality TV queen and the beloved Doctor Who star.
The moment unfolded when Tennant, who was hosting the ceremony, couldn’t resist making a lighthearted jab at Kylie, who attended the event to support her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, nominated for Best Actor. With his signature Scottish charm, Tennant joked, “We’ve got some real Hollywood royalty here tonight—and no, I’m not talking about King Charles. Kylie Jenner, welcome to our wee British shindig!”
Kylie, who is more accustomed to red carpets in Los Angeles than awards shows in London, handled the moment with grace, flashing a warm smile as the audience chuckled. However, it was the reactions online that truly stole the show.
“Kylie Jenner experiencing The Proclaimers and Take That in one night. She’s not in Calabasas anymore!” one fan tweeted, referring to the iconic British music acts that performed during the ceremony.
Another fan couldn’t get over Tennant’s audacious humor, posting, “David Tennant calling Kylie Jenner a lookalike TO HER FACE is sending me.”
Others were simply reveling in the bizarre yet brilliant clash of pop culture worlds. “Kylie Jenner and David Tennant in the same room—my brain can’t process this crossover episode,” a fan wrote.
Memes and GIFs flooded timelines, many poking fun at Kylie’s potential confusion over British humor. One viral post featured a screenshot of Kylie smiling with the caption: “When you’re not sure if you’ve been complimented or roasted.”
The BAFTAs are typically known for celebrating cinematic achievements, but this year, it was the unexpected celebrity interactions and Tennant’s cheeky jokes that had everyone talking. As one user put it: “Forget the awards—Kylie and Tennant’s interaction deserves its own BAFTA!”
Others were equally bewildered:
“Didn’t ever think I’d see David Tennant and Kylie Jenner interact, but here we are.”
“Losing my mind watching Kylie Jenner see Wallace and Gromit win multiple awards, as it should!”
Timothée Chalamet’s Lookalike Contest Gone Wild
Tennant’s joke about Chalamet’s lookalike competition referred to a viral event that took place in New York last October. The Hollywood heartthrob shocked fans by unexpectedly showing up to a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest.
Surrounded by security, Chalamet posed for photos with his curly-haired doppelgängers, some of whom dressed as his iconic characters, including Willy Wonka and Dune’s Paul Atreides. However, the event quickly spiraled into chaos.
At times, adoring fans accidentally mistook the lookalikes for Chalamet himself, causing a frenzy. The event, organized by YouTube personality Anthony Po, had been widely advertised on flyers throughout New York and promised a $50 prize for the winner.
But within minutes of the contest beginning, police ordered the large gathering at Washington Square Park to disperse. The organizers were slapped with a $500 fine for hosting an “unpermitted costume contest,” and at least one doppelgänger was dragged away in handcuffs as the crowd chanted, “Let him go!”
One witness, Megan Hattie Stahl, 33, described the surreal scene to DailyMail.com:
“It was really funny—like a spectacle. The people filming it and the people reacting to the cops became another layer of spectacle. It was just absurd.
Kylie and Timothée: A Power Couple in the Spotlight
While Jenner and Chalamet initially kept their romance low-key, the couple has been making more public appearances together, from cozying up at the Golden Globes to attending high-profile events like the BAFTAs.
As their relationship continues to make headlines, fans eagerly anticipate their next unexpected moment—whether it’s an award show surprise or another viral meme-worthy interaction.
One thing’s for sure: with David Tennant, Timothée Chalamet, and Kylie Jenner in the same room, anything can happen!
