Josh Brolin Breaks Silence About His Creepy Poetry About Timothee Chalamet

The Thanos actor, Josh Brolin, hosted SNL this weekend with musical guest Ariana Grande. And despite Grande’s presence, Josh Brolin was the one who stole the spotlight with the bizarre rumors about having an “extra close” friendship with his co-workers.

This was all thanks to his poetry about Timothee Chalamet. While people understand the fascination with writing a poem about Chalamet, they just didn’t expect it to come from someone not the age of 14, not a girl, and definitely not Josh Brolin!

But what can be said, Brolin definitely likes to surprise his fans. To set the record straight, the actor finally explained his side and admitted it was a tad bit creepy.

Furthermore, he also provided the audience with an exclusive recitation of the poetry, complete with appropriate background lighting and sound to go with it. He said, “I don’t think it’s creepy, but you be the judge,” as he started to recite some of the lines about his “youth-laden eyes,” and “lips of a certain poetry”. He further added,
“No I don’t want to sleep with him, but that’s what I do — I write poems about everyone I work with. This week, I wrote a poem about Kenan [Thompson],” 
Taking the joke even further, Brolin didn’t stop with just the Chalamet poem, he then also recited a hilarious piece about SNL star Kenan Thompson. All in all, it was an absolute joyride to witness his monologue unfold, leaving everyone in stitches and eagerly anticipating what other surprises Brolin had up his sleeve for the rest of the show.

Why Did Josh Brolin Write a Poem About Timothee Chalamet?

While working with the star, Brolin was so inspired by Timothee Chalamet that he felt compelled to channel his thoughts onto paper. The actor, along with cinematographer Greig Fraser, condensed their experiences of filming and working on both parts of Dune in the coffee table book, Dune: Exposures, and that is where he shared his poetry.

As he explained to Variety,
“The writing is very different, tonally. Sometimes it’s tongue-in-cheek, sometimes it’s descriptive, sometimes it’s a dialogue, and sometimes it’s a poem.”

Although the actor did compliment Chalamet’s various facial features, which, to be honest, is worthy of such praise, he also admired the young actor’s talent in embodying such depth. These thoughts have been beautifully in these lines, for instance,
 “The way you hold my gaze/makes me fear my own age. Because something in me tells me/You are going to offer me something and,/for now/I’m not sure/it’s going to be/something/I want anymore.”
Although the poetry did end up sounding a bit creepy, it all came from a place of love and admiration from one talented co-star to another.
