Timothée Chalamet inadvertently placed Kylie Jenner in an exquisitely "uncomfortable" predicament shortly after their red carpet couple debut stole the spotlight. On Wednesday, May 7th, the stars of "A Complete Unknown" and the 27-year-old Jenner graced the red carpet together for the first time at the David di Donatello Awards ceremony, where Chalamet was honored with the prestigious David Speciale award. However, their seemingly flawless debut took an unexpectedly awkward turn when the "Dune" actor seemingly overlooked his companion's attempt for a second kiss during the gala.
A viral video circulating on social media captured the moment when Timothée's name was announced on stage, lauding him as a "great actor of quality and innovative films." As he rose from his seat, he exchanged a kiss with the "Kardashians" star, but missed her lips when she leaned in for a second peck. The "Call Me By Your Name" actor then shook hands with fellow attendees seated behind him before ascending the stage to accept his accolade.
Eagle-eyed fans wasted no time in pointing out the awkward exchange, flooding the comments section beneath the TikTok video. One observer quipped, "Awkward double kiss attempt!" Another joked, "Hahaha, she was clearly looking for an encore!" While a third offered a plausible explanation, "Someone was chatting with Timothée from behind; he didn't notice the second kiss coming!" Notably, after two years of dating, the 29-year-old Chalamet and Jenner finally made their long-awaited red carpet debut in Rome, much to the anticipation of their fans.
