Kevin Hart has found himself at the center of online debate after making a joke about Timothée Chalamet that some fans are calling body-shaming during a recent podcast appearance.
The moment happened on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy, where Hart took part in a rapid-fire roast segment alongside host Alex Cooper. As the conversation turned to celebrity humor and upcoming comedy roasts, Cooper began naming high-profile figures for Hart to riff on.
When Chalamet’s name came up, Hart responded with a quip about the actor’s physique, jokingly referencing his slim frame in a remark that quickly stood out from the rest of the segment. The comment prompted a brief pause before the conversation moved on, but clips of the exchange soon began circulating online.
While the segment was framed as lighthearted roasting, many viewers were divided over whether the joke crossed a line. Some defended Hart’s comedic style, pointing to his long history of edgy humor, while others criticized the remark as unnecessary and insensitive.
Chalamet, known for roles in films such as Dune and Wonka, has previously spoken about being typecast due to his build early in his career. However, he has not publicly responded to Hart’s comment.
The podcast segment continued with Hart roasting several other celebrities in playful fashion, but it was the comment about Chalamet that gained the most attention and sparked wider discussion online about the boundaries of comedy and celebrity jokes.#newsafro_
