Just a bunch of the richest assholes in the world who happened to be sitting next to eachother at a New York Knicks game. Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, and Michael Bloomberg. It would be funny(well, just more depressing) if they all worked at some AI company tho!
Right I actually had to search it up as well. I don't even recognize many famous actors as I try to live under a rock nowadays. The only reason I made that comment was so everyone here didn't have to waste their time looking it up like I did.
You can imagine my disappointment when I found out it was all just about a bunch of insufferable ultra-rich people trying to hog the spotlight for the millionth time.
I wonder how many celebs actually like basketball and how many just like the fact that the seats are right next to the players so they're more likely to end up on TV.
Maybe im just cynical, but that was my first thought when looking at how Bloomberg was watching the game, his facial expressions looked as if he was out of his element and had no enthusiasm like your average sports fan would. Looked as if he was attending a boring meeting.
They definitely bought those seats with the intention of being on TV & social media, especially since they could have probably bought fancy VIP rooms/boxes far away from all the "poors" and paparazzi. They look and acted like how any person would act if they were told they were going to be on TV and were told to "just act normal like the camera isn't there" lmao but who knows, I somehow am always wrong when I assume things, but at the same time I ain't giving these million/billionaires no benefit of the doubt! Probably just "cheap" publicity for them.
The Knicks actually have quite a few celebrity fans who visit games regularly. Jon Stewart, Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Alicia Keys, Michael J Fox, and Adam Sandler are a few I can think of who fit that category. Chalemet is a pretty big sports fan, too, including basketball.
When I originally looked this all up, I tried to see who the person on the right was, but I only ever got the same 3 names mentioned, and all the news sources kept repeating that the man on the right was "not identifiable" and likely a guest of one of the rich people up front. I could have looked deeper into it and may have missed it, but I don't think he's supposed to be famous from what I gathered.
It's not my favorite actor, but he's fine. Why don't you like him? I think he's alright as Paul. Maybe there's some unknown person who's the right age who could have been better, but he's the only actor I know who was the right age who's good enough for the role. My issues with the movies don't really involve him.
I thought he was good as Paul. Paul is a whiny rich little shit in the books. He isn't really charismatic and only succeeds through his spice visions and by piggybacking off of the Missionaria Protectiva.

Courtside at Knicks and Lakers games are just another way for celebrities to try and pay for exposure.

Presumably you saw from the other comments that they are, in fact, all executives of an AI startup in addition to being celebrities

Timothée Chalamet. Had to look him up. That does look like him.

Surely this is a joke right?
Is that gray spectre on the left not Michael Bloomberg?

No, dead serious, Michael Bloomberg, Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner and Jake from linus tech tips have an AI startup.

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 38d
Yeah, but he doesn’t have to act like it. IMO I find Chalamet flat with no range.
WalleyeWarrior@midwest.social · 2 pts · 38d
So your complaint is that he played the character like the original text presents him?
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 37d
Lol, I never got that from the books. I find that Chalamet plays pretty much the same character no matter what he does.
