In a surreal twist that left audiences laughing out loud, Timothée Chalamet took on the persona of Troye Sivan and left nothing to the imagination on a recent episode of ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Hosting the November 11th episode, the 27-year-old American-French actor donned an outfit mirroring the 28-year-old Australian singer-songwriter’s signature style. With a tight white tank top featuring a black logo cut-out and blue baggy pinstripe pants, Chalamet even adopted Sivan’s iconic curly blonde locks.
The sketch itself was a comedic gem, with Chalamet-as-Sivan appearing as a mysterious figure that haunts a female patient’s dreams, brilliantly portrayed by Sarah Sherman. Assisting in the analysis of this nocturnal apparition was the character of a gay doctor, played by Bowen Yang, and it’s when they attempt to summon this figure in the waking world that hilarity ensues.
As Chalamet’s character dances to Sivan’s recent hit song “Got Me Started,” he embraces his inner “twink” and, in an unforgettable moment, flashes his rear end, all while delivering the lines: “I’m Australian YouTube twink turned indie pop star and model turned HBO actor Troye Sivan being played by an American actor who can’t do an Australian accent.”
Troye Sivan himself shared the sketch on Instagram, expressing his bewilderment at the delightful absurdity of it all, while also changing his profile photo to one of Chalamet’s portrayal of him in the ‘SNL’ sketch. It’s safe to say this memorable impersonation will have fans talking for quite some time.
