Timothèe Chalamet is a massive fan of Christopher Nolan; however, allegedly, the actor is not a big fan of one of the people in the director’s adaptation of The Odyssey. While the Marty Supreme star has made his love for Nolan incredibly well known (Kylie Jenner even rented out a theater so they could watch Interstellar), a source made claims that he and Travis Scott do not get along, and apparently this new movie has not helped.
In The Odyssey, Travis Scott plays the bard Phemius. While he is not in much of the movie, what he says is vital and radiates throughout the entire story. Some people loved this tweak to The Odyssey, as Nolan cast a rapper to play this part. However, it’s also been subject to criticism. When it comes to Chalamet’s thoughts about Scott’s role in this movie, a source alleged to In Touch:
Timmy has had to live with the slow-moving bulldozer of Travis eventually seriously getting into acting for almost two years now. But that doesn’t make it any less painful or annoying.
There’s no way around it: Chalamet and Scott have to be in each other’s lives. The rapper co-parents his kids with Kylie Jenner, who has been dating the Oscar nominee for years now. This has caused breakup rumors to crop up here and there, with one example happening late in 2025 when Jenner was seen wearing a ring Scott had given her in 2021. However, the reality star and Little Women actor were never broken up, and they are still together.
Meanwhile, it would seem that Chalamet’s issue with Scott has more to do with acting. According to this insider, the Wonka star was allegedly jealous of the “Sicko Mode” artist’s work with Nolan:
Timmy gets jealous and he has a hard time pulling away from the spotlight, let alone relinquishing it to somebody else. It’s agonizing for him to see Travis just waltz into great reviews acting in the biggest hit movie of the year!
The Odyssey received good reviews, and it’s been a box office smash hit for Nolan. Scott has a very small role in it, and it does remind me of how Chalamet had a little part in Interstellar. For both men, the Nolan movies marked major moments in their acting careers, and apparently, the Call Me By Your Name star is not thrilled that this happened for the musician.
Before all this, it had been alleged that Chalamet and Scott don’t have the best relationship. Not long after the 2026 Oscar winners were announced, The Daily Mail published claims that when the rapper posted an image of Michael B. Jordan during his Best Actor acceptance speech, it rubbed the Dune star the wrong way and implied who Scott “thinks is cool and who isn’t.”
Overall, it would seem the two have a fraught relationship, as the insider claimed:
It’s awkward as hell because, like it or not, Timmy and Travis are in each other’s lives, even if they’re not anything close to friends.
While they might not be close, they do share an unavoidable connection. Scott is the father of Kylie Jenner's children, and Chalamet has been her partner for quite some time.
So, as they continue to work and make movies, we’ll just have to wait and see how the relationship between these two men continues to develop.
