While delivering his compelling speech after winning the Best Actor award at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, Timothée Chalamet gave a heartfelt homage to his “partner” Kylie Jenner. The Dune actor’s praise for the beauty mogul left Amanda Seyfried baffled. She thought that the actor was gushing about a “foundation” or “charity.” However, she had her confusion cleared up online on social media.
Chalamet said, “Damn, I’m more nervous than I thought I’d be,” after accepting the Best Actor award on stage. Towards the end of his speech, the actor went on to make a loving gesture toward Jenner and gave a heartwarming nod to her.
He expressed, “And lastly, I’ll just say, thank you to my partner of three years.” He continued, “Thank you for our foundation. I love you.” The actor further said, “I couldn’t do this without you.” He then added, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
The speech has gone viral since then, especially this particular moment between Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. Actor Evan Ross Katz posted a photo of the Marty Supreme actor and the businesswoman from this moment on Instagram.
He also added Chalamet’s nod to Jenner as a quote on the photograph. In the comments section of the post, Seyfried wrote, “OH not like a foundation/charity I was curious about that,” revealing that she was confused about the speech earlier. However, thanks to the internet, now the actor knows who Chalamet was talking about.
