Regarding his deal with Chanel, a Reddit post suggested that Timothee Chalamet received a staggering $35 million, substantially more than Johnny Depp’s $20 million deal with Dior. This revelation led to comparisons with other celebrities like Zendaya and Lady Gaga, questioning why they didn’t receive similar offers despite having more followers on Instagram. With this deal, Timothee joins the ranks of renowned Chanel ambassadors like Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, and Lily-Rose Depp, associated with Chanel fragrances in the past.
Public reaction was swift, with many commenting on Timothee’s rising status as a beauty standard for Generation Z. One reaction highlighted his value, saying, “He’s basically the gen Z male beauty standard, so there’s a LOT of value in that. Attractive people have a higher selling power.” Another user contrasted Johnny Depp’s age and diminishing appeal to younger demographics with Timothee’s youth and attractiveness.
Some remarks delved into the financial aspect, suggesting that even after deductions for his team and taxes, Timothee’s earnings would be impressive, assuming it isn’t spread over multiple years. Others highlighted Chanel’s substantial revenue, noting that Timothee’s campaign is only a small fraction of their total earnings. There is speculation that Chanel is counting on Timothee to expand their market to demographics that haven’t been their customers yet.
Some users rationalized Johnny Depp’s appeal to his diverse fan base and contrasted it with concerns about who would be the prospective buyers of a fragrance endorsed by Timothee Chalamet. Despite controversies, Johnny Depp retains a significant fan base, whereas Timothee is perceived as one of the remaining non-controversial and attractive male celebrities.
This discussion represents a reflection of the dynamic interaction between celebrity status, brand endorsements, and public perception, emphasizing the changing tides in brand representation and the value placed on emerging stars like Timothee Chalamet.
