EsDeeKid is a relatively new rapper who has been charting this year with his tracks ‘Phantom’ and ‘LV Sandals’, and fans are speculating that he could actually be Timothee.
The Scouse-born rapper wears a ski mask covering his face, only leaving his eyes and eyebrows visible.
There are multiple reasons as to why fans are drawing comparisons between the two, and here is the full breakdown of suspected ‘clues’ and theories.
Is Timothee Chalamet from Liverpool? & Is Timothee Chalamet from the UK?
Timothee has been confusing his fans with his recent comments suggesting he could, in fact, be British and therefore further adding to the Esdeekid rumour.
The fan theories of the actor being Esdeekid have been building, a recent interview where he name-drops the niche British celeb Susan Boyle has been adding fuel to the fire. He even stirs the pot by mentioning the Esdeekid collaborator, fakemink.
This has led fans to question the French actor's nationality.
Timothée Chalamet, when asked what Brits would be worthy of a ‘Marty Supreme’ jacket:

Susan Boyle, of course, was an iconic contestant on Britain's Got Talent back in 2009.
She is a very much-loved British character, but not known largely outside of the nation.
One fan commented: "The concept of Timothee Chalamet knowing who Susan Boyle is."
Another said: "Timothee STOP THIS you DO NOT KNOW susan boyle."
Why do fans think Timothee Chalamet is EsDeeKid?
The rumours first began to swirl after fans drew comparisons between the two stars ’ appearances.
Some argued that they had the same eyes and were certain that that was the reason why the rapper wore a mask.
Whilst their eyes and eyebrows are similar, there are some photos that fans argue don’t look similar at all.
Another coincidence is that they have both worn the same skull scarf, some arguing it is a ‘hidden in plain sight’ clue.
Timothee is known for being cheeky, and a Hannah Montana-style secret seems right up his street.
The American actor also has a strange fascination with the niche British accent from Hull.
When his love for the accent was first shared, fans just thought it was quirky, but now, with the theory of him being the Scouse rapper, fans are suggesting that because he knew the niche accent of Hull, he could very well do a great Liverpudlian one.
Let’s not forget that Timothee also performed under the name Timmy T whilst in college, involving the star rapping, rather well, to his student audience, proving he does have the talent to rap.
Most recently, though, his own comments when asked about the rumours perhaps show the most evidence of all.
When asked about whether or not he was EsDeeKid during an interview with Heart Radio, he replied with a mysterious response.
He said: “I got no comment….All will be revealed in due time.”
Some fans, however, are doubtful, arguing they look nothing alike, so it could just be a bit of fun.
One fan commented: “It’s so clearly not him though, essdeekids eyes are way more down turned then his.”
Another said: “If he can rap with a heavy scouse accent, he deserves the oscar.”
So, whilst the rumours continue to build, when will it be revealed? And will they both pop out on stage at the same time to settle the fan theory? Only time will tell.
