Chalamet Texts During BAFTAs Despite No Phones Rule

Timothee Chalamet spent the BAFTAs texting on his phone after host Alan Cumming instructed the audience to 'turn off all electronic devices'. 

The Hollywood actor, 30, looked in good spirits as he took his seat next to girlfriend Kylie Jenner at The Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday. 

However, Timothee didn't seem to interest in the ceremony, despite being nomintated for Leading Actor in Marty Supreme, as he was spotted texting on his phone. 

The Dune star was sent multiple messages by a friend and even recieved a meme of himself wearing the bold orange suit he donned at the premiere of his film, Marty Supreme in Los Angeles in December. 

Timothee later scrolled through his imessages while chatting to glamorous partner Kylie who wowed in a plunging black gown with silver jewelled detailing on the front.

The billionaire make-up mogul decided to skip the BAFTAs red carpet and let Timothee bask in the spotlight by walking it alone.

But the pair put on a loved up appearance as they sat hand in hand after taking their seats ahead of the ceremony.

Kylie and the Oscar-nominee have been dating for more than three years and already live together, with marriage being a consideration, according to a Daily Mail source. 

Kicking off the night, host Alan opened the show by asking audience to turn off all electronic devices apart from pacemakers and 'ozempic alarms'.

Hosted by Alan, this year's BAFTA ceremony will welcome stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jacob Elordi and Michael B. Jordan as the year's biggest cinema releases are honoured.

Those walking the red carpet will be treated to a DJ set by Magic FM presenter Neev Spencer, while Clara Amfo and Ali Plumb will be reporting live from outside the legendary London venue. 

A lengthy list of celebrity guest presenters includes Aimee Lou Wood, Alicia Vikander, Cillian Murphy, Ethan Hawke, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sadie Sink and British grime artist Stormzy. 

The Royal Festival Hall stage will also welcome appearances from Kerry Washington, Minnie Driver, Monica Bellucci, Patrick Dempsey and Regé-Jean Page, among others. 

Entertainment on the night will come from a diverse spectrum of performers, including a first performance outside the United States of record breaking track Golden from KPop Demon Hunters, sung by JAE, AUDREYNUNA & REI AMI, the voices of HUNTR/X.
