Misty Copeland, ballerina who promoted ‘Marty Supreme,’ reacts to Timothée Chalamet comments

During a recent event for Aveeno skincare, artist and author Copeland, 43, discussed comments made by Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet that caused controversy last week among dancers, opera singers, and others. Chalamet, 30, had been speaking with Matthew McConaughey for CNN and Variety about the importance of keeping live theater going despite the rise of streaming. He then shared his honest opinion about the current state of the fine arts, saying he wouldn’t want to work in fields like ballet or opera where the focus seems to be just on ‘keeping it alive,’ especially since he feels public interest has waned.
