Timothée Chalamet Plays ‘The Idol’s Troye Sivan In ‘SNL’ Sleep Skit: “I’m A Moisturized Machine Gun Kelly’
deadline.comA woman plagued with strange visions of a dancing Troye Sivan gave host Timothée Chalamet a chance to show off his smooth moves and “tiny red undies” on Saturday Night Live tonight.
The skit opened with Bowen Yang trying to treat a distressed Sarah Sherman in a sleep study. Sherman talked about seeing “some sort of figure with me in the room,” which Yang describes as sleep paralysis.
Yang then triggers a special computer that can induce her hallucinations while she’s awake. That’s when Sherman sees a guy, “like a gay guy.” Chalamet appear as Troye Sivan and starts to dance and drop his PJ pants to show off his booty.
When Sherman asks if he’s a demon, Chalet responds, “I’m an Australian You Tube twink turned indie pop star, and model turned HBO actor Troye Sivan being played by an American actor who can’t do an Australian accent.” (For those who don’t recognize him, the Australian singer/YouTube personality turned rising actor co-starred on HBO’s short-lived series The Idol).
