Responding to these rumours, the Gangster Squad actor said, “Yeah… you know, that’s gotten out of control. You know what, when you’re an older actor, okay, and you’re looking at new, great younger talent, I get excited.”

Brolin further expressed, “So you’re sitting there and you see Florence Pugh, or you’re seeing Zendaya, or you’re seeing Timothée, and I get excited. Especially people who work hard.”

“So I’m sitting there writing and I don’t have a scene that day, and I’m writing these nice things and then the internet grabs a hold of it and thinks I want to make out with Timothée or whatever,” the MCU actor stated while discussing how his poems have been interpreted. Similarly, in a conversation with Vulture, the ‘Men In Black 3’ actor mentioned, “I love that there’s a poem that they exploited into the idea that I wanted to sleep with Timothée.”

How Did the Rumors About Josh Brolin and Timothée Chalamet Start?

All this gossip began after the release of ‘Dune: Exposures,’ a collection of on-set photos taken by Director of Photography Greig Fraser. This behind-the-scenes book also features the poems written by Brolin during the filming of ‘Dune: Part One’ and ‘Dune: Part Two.’

Among Brolin’s works in Dune: Exposures, one excerpt addressed Chalamet and read, “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.”

Following this, talks erupted on the internet, prompting Josh Brolin to say, “It makes no sense. It says more about them than it does about me,” during an episode of ‘Good Morning America.’
