Kylie Jenner, certified Chalamaniac?
The reality star is a big fan of boyfriend Timothée Chalamet’s body of work, she reveals in a new interview on the podcast, Big Bro with Kid Cudi.
But there’s one movie that leads the pack.
“I really like them all, but Call Me by Your Name is pretty, like, perfect,” Jenner confessed to Cudi. “It’s just pretty perfect.”
The 2017 coming-of-age film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, was Chalamet’s breakout role — and even earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 2018 Academy Awards. In the film, he plays a teenager who falls in love with an older man (Armie Hammer) in Italy during the summer of 1983.

Jenner’s other favorites include “the Dunes,” presumably Dune, the 2021 epic co-starring Zendaya, and its 2024 sequel.
“I really love the Dunes,” she told Cudi, who agreed. “The Dunes are strong,” he concurred. “I’m ready for the new one in December.” (Dune: Part Three, also featuring Florence Pugh, Robert Pattinson, and Anya Taylor-Joy, arrives in theaters on Dec. 18.)

Coincidentally, it was during the promotion of Call Me By Your Name that Chalamet and rapper-actor Cudi (real name: Scott Mescudi) reconnected for the first time in years.

Back in 2013, the 17-year-old actor and massive Cudi fan attended a concert in Montreal, and requested to meet his “favorite artist ever.”
A mutual friend made it happen and the two chilled for hours backstage, listening to music and talking about the Hollywood industry. (Chalamet was disappointed that some of his scenes had been cut from Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, Cudi later revealed in his 2025 memoir.)
“He was winning awards and he would thank me and talk about me,” Cudi recalled to Jenner, “and I would just be like, ‘This kid keeps thanking me in this speech.’ I was like, ‘Do I know him? ’Cause he does not look the same as when he was 17.' It looked like a totally different person. It was just a brief moment in my life, you know what I mean? So, I just forgot what he looked like and I couldn’t make the connection. His team reached out and then I figured it all out.”
Cudi says the two also reunited in person and Chalamet even took him to see Call Me By Your Name in the theater.
“And ever since then that’s been our thing, for us to watch his movies together,” he told Jenner. “It’s a tradition. I’ve seen all his s— in the theater with him, for the most part.” Cudi even rented out a theater for a showing of Willy Wonka in 2023 “and we had all the kids come through.”

Maybe a movie starring Jenner is next? She recently made a cameo in the Charli XCX Brat-inspired mockumentary, The Moment, and told Vanity Fair she had caught the acting bug.
“I’ve actually gotten a few scripts; nothing that I feel is right yet, but I 100 percent want to do more,” Jenner told the magazine. “I really like comedy. I think I’m good at it. Maybe next time I talk to you, I’ll be the lead of an action movie!”
