Timothée Chalamet Pays Tribute to Diogo Jota

Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet unexpectedly paid tribute to late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota during the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night. The 30-year-old actor, fresh off winning Best Actor for his performance in Marty Supreme, was captured in a viral exchange with 16-year-old British actor Owen Cooper that quickly spread across social media.



During their conversation filmed by E! News, Cooper—who won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Netflix's Adolescence—revealed his Liverpool-themed phone background. The devoted Liverpool supporter had been at Anfield when the Reds clinched the Premier League title last season with a 5-1 demolition of Tottenham. When Chalamet inquired about the wallpaper, Cooper explained it was a tribute to the late Diogo Jota, prompting the Dune star to respond solemnly: "Diogo Jota man, RIP."

The tribute came just over a week after an emotional gathering at Anfield on December 27, when Liverpool faced Wolverhampton—Jota's two former Premier League clubs—for the first time since his death. Two of Jota's sons, Dinis and Duarte, served as matchday mascots and walked alongside Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk. His wife, Rute Cardoso, watched from the stands as the stadium sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" in his honor.

During his Liverpool career, Jota scored 65 goals in 182 appearances and helped the club secure the Premier League title, FA Cup, and League Cup. He also earned 49 caps for Portugal, winning the UEFA Nations League twice, with his final international appearance coming in the Nations League final victory over Spain on June 8, 2025.
