Timothee Chalamet didn't just watch his beloved New York Knicks lose Game 3 of the NBA Finals, he got trolled for his questionable gameday outfit.
Chalamet, a four-time Academy Award nominee, has attended every game of this year's Finals so far. The New York native has been a lifelong fan of the Knicks, so you can legitimately see him sweating out every minute of the playoffs.
While fans usually like Chalamet's style, he received plenty of criticism for wearing an orange tracksuit to Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. In fact, he was compared to "Despicable Me" villain Vector.

"Why is he dressed like Vector from Despicable Me," one fan wrote on X.
"That outfit is why the Knicks lost," a second fan said.
"The live-action Despicable Me casting is looking way too accurate," another fan commented.
"That's a hysterical outfit," a social media user wrote.
Timothee is a dedicated Knicks fan.
Prior to Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the "Dune" actor shared a photo of him icing his knees while rocking a Knicks shirt.
"Ppl underestimate the wear and tear on the body of a fan throughout the playoffs," Chalamet wrote for his caption. "Self care is important."
Chalamet's fandom dates back to 2010 when he posed for a photo with former Knicks players Landry Fields and Andy Rautins.
Suffice to say, Chalamet has been waiting to watch the Knicks compete in the Finals for a long time.
