Tennessee may have another famous fan. Actor Timothée Chalamet was noticeably sporting orange and white checkerboard overalls in a new social media post.
Chalamet’s post got plenty of attention from the Vol faithful.

Chalamet is best known for his prominent movie roles in “Dune,” “Wonka” and the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unkown.” He’s quite a sports fan, too.
In December, Chalamet was named a College GameDay guest picker. While some fans complained that he was only on to promote “A Complete Unknown,” he showed that took the opportunity seriously and cited research with his picks. In fact, Chalamet was the only picker on that Saturday’s GameDay to correctly pick the winner of the MAC Championship Game.

More recently, Chalamet was seen courtside cheering on the NBA’s New York Knicks.

Is Chalamet a true Tennessee fan? Guess we’ll need him to be the GameDay guest picker on Rocky Top this fall to find out.
