Timothée Chalamet did not exactly keep it low-key after the New York Knicks pulled off a dramatic NBA Finals win in Game 4.
The ‘Dune’ actor went viral after the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. The game ended with OG Anunoby scoring the winning basket with just one second left on the clock, and Chalamet reacted like every camera in the building had stopped mattering.
In a video shared by ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ Chalamet grabbed a reporter’s microphone and shouted alongside Knicks fans as the arena erupted.
“Let’s go!” he yelled into the mic. Then he admitted, “I don’t even know what camera’s going.” The moment quickly turned into one of the night’s most chaotic celebrity clips.
Chalamet Grabbed The Mic And Went Wild
Chalamet, 30, was not celebrating quietly from his seat.
He jumped into the post-game madness, shouting with fans and cheering on the Knicks after their narrow win. Ben Stiller also joined the celebration, jumping up and down beside him as the crowd kept the energy high.
Chalamet then gave a shoutout to Anunoby, whose last-second basket gave the Knicks the win.
The actor’s full-throttle reaction got mixed responses online. Some fans loved seeing him act like a lifelong Knicks supporter instead of a polished Hollywood star.
“He’s been a fan since he was a kid, love this for him,” one person wrote. Another fan focused on Stiller, writing, “Ben Stiller jumping up and down is so cute.”
Others roasted Chalamet for going so completely off-script.
Kylie Jenner Filmed Like A Proud Girlfriend
Kylie Jenner was right there for the chaos.
The beauty mogul filmed Chalamet’s celebration on her phone while smiling and laughing as he went wild in the crowd. Fans immediately noticed her reaction and turned it into its own talking point.
“Kylie doing the proud girlfriend thing,” one person wrote under the clip.
Jenner, 28, and Chalamet matched for the game in custom Knicks-themed Chrome Hearts denim looks. Their coordinated outfits made the courtside date night even harder to miss.
But the real viral moment came after the win.
In another post-game clip, Chalamet peeled off his oversized Chrome Hearts denim jacket and white T-shirt as he kept celebrating with Knicks fans. His jeans appeared to slip low as he ran through the crowd, with Jenner laughing and following behind him while recording.
The whole thing had a messy, unfiltered feel that fans were not used to seeing from him.
Fans Roasted His Rowdy Knicks Moment
Chalamet’s Knicks fandom has been on full display throughout the playoffs.
He has attended several games and even skipped the 2026 Met Gala with Jenner to watch the Knicks play the Philadelphia 76ers last month.
But Game 4 took his courtside persona to another level. Instead of just cheering from celebrity row, he grabbed a mic, shouted into it, stripped down during the celebration, and ran through the crowd while Jenner filmed.
That was enough to make the internet treat the moment like a full Timmy-gone-wild episode. For some fans, it made him more relatable. For others, it was an easy roast. Either way, it made him one of the biggest celebrity stories of the night.
The Knicks Game Was Packed With Famous Faces
Chalamet and Jenner were not the only major names at Madison Square Garden.
Taylor Swift was also there, and after the Knicks won, Jenner shared a hug with the pop star on the court. The moment drew extra attention because of Swift’s past feud with Jenner’s sister Kim Kardashian.
Other stars in attendance included Spike Lee, Mariska Hargitay, Alana and Este Haim, Scooter Braun, Sydney Sweeney, and Ben Stiller.
But Chalamet’s celebration cut through the celebrity crowd. His reaction was louder, messier, and more physical than the usual polished courtside appearance.
Chalamet Has Become A Knicks Playoff Regular
Chalamet has been front and center for the Knicks throughout their Finals run.
He attended Game 1 in San Antonio wearing an orange-and-blue Adidas soccer jersey and a custom ‘Marty Supreme’ diamond pendant tied to his 2025 Josh Safdie-directed film.
He was also seen at Game 2 with Ben Stiller, Fat Joe, Billy Baldwin, Allan Houston, and Walt “Clyde” Frazier. For Game 3, he showed up in an orange tracksuit that had fans comparing him to Vector from ‘Despicable Me.’ That night, cameras caught him shouting in distress as the Knicks lost to the Spurs.
Game 4 gave him a very different ending. The Knicks won. Chalamet lost the calm image. Jenner filmed the whole thing. And the internet had plenty to say.
