Timothee Chalamet[2] has revealed he thinks the Hull[3] accent is the sexiest British dialect during a hilarious appearance on LADBible[4] TV.
The Wonka actor, 27, was asked by his co-star Keegan-Michael Key about which accents he is attracted to, guessing it would be French, but Timothee quickly answered: ‘I like Hull.’
Keegan-Michael, 52, echoed visibly surprised: ‘You like Hull?’
‘Yeah, why’s everyone cracking up? Hull is sexy,’ the Dune favourite replied as the actors played the Agree To Disagree game which sees them discuss the ‘internet’s biggest debates’.
‘I like Hull and Essex is in my top three,’ said Timothee as his 52-year-old co-star agreed: ‘Everybody likes Essex.’

The Wonka sensation, 27, was asked by his fellow co-star Keegan-Michael Key if he thought French was the sexiest language – but Timothee promptly answered: ‘I like Hull’
‘I like a middle-aged Northern accent,’ Timothee added as Keegan-Michael tried to contain his laughter and asked: ‘So middle-aged Yorkshire?’
The audience was left in stitches while the duo couldn’t stop laughing as they poked fun by imitating the accents.
Hull residents were delighted by the admission, taking to X, formerly Twitter, to share: ‘Okay so I’m honestly obsessed with award-winning superstar actor Timothee Chalamet randomly saying HULL has the UK’s sexiest accent. He speaks nothing but facts’; ‘ Timothee Chalamet declaring his love of the Hull accent feels like a fever dream’;
‘Timothee Chalamet here saying the Hull accent is the “sexiest accent”, 100% agree, about time my rough northern accent was recognised’; how the hell does timothee chalamet know what a hull accent sounds like’; ‘Timothee Chalamet doing more to put Hull on the map with one sentence than anything in 2017 ever did’; ‘everyone from back home sharing that video of Timothee Chalamet saying he likes a hull accent on their insta story’.
In the same clip, the Call Me By Your Name sensation branded Tom Holland[5] the ‘ultimate rizz master’[6].
Timothee – [7]who starred alongside Tom’s actress girlfriend Zendaya[8] in Dune – also declared the star to be ‘better looking than him’ during the candid chat.
Timothee and Keegan-Michael were asked if the Oscar nominee was better looking than Tom to which Timothee responded: ‘Oh, man.
Y’all going for the South!”
‘I’m going to strongly disagree on that, Tom is the ultimate rizz master. Internet knows this, Zendaya knows this, everyone knows this. Ultimate rizz master.’
The pair were shown a past clip of Tom saying Timothee was better looking than him, declaring: ‘It’s gonna be Timothee Chalamet.
I bet you’ve put him up there.
No? ‘Cause he’s double handsome, and I’d lose that one!’
‘I like a middle-aged Northern accent,’ Timothee added as Keegan-Michael tried to contain his laughter and asked: ‘So middle-aged Yorkshire?’

Timothee spent a ‘joyous’ five months living in London[9] while filming the much-anticipated Wonka prequel, where he stars as a younger incarnation of the iconic Willy Wonka.
He has been praised by critics [10]for his ‘charming, pitch-perfect performance’ as the titular character.
‘#Wonka is a super charming delight powered by an exceptional & pitch-perfect performance from Timothee Chalamet,’ Collider senior producer Perri Nemiroff wrote.
‘It can get quite silly and there’s a few plot points that are a tad on the thin side, but that couldn’t stop such an impossibly sweet film with a hefty & very effective dose of sincerity from warming my heart.’
Gizmodo senior reporter Germain Lussier wrote that the 27-year-old Oscar nominee was ‘reason alone to see’ Paul King’s £125M-budget musical fantasy.
‘He’s infinitely charming [and] a blast to watch,’ Lussier tweeted.
Timothee also branded Tom Holland the ‘ultimate rizz master’ after he starred alongside Tom’s actress girlfriend Zendaya in Dune (Tom and Zendaya pictured in 2019)
Timothee is currently dating Kylie Jenner, 26 – they are seen in September 2023
