Los Angeles, USA Timothée Chalamet declares his love for Kylie Jenner as he gets surprise Best Actor win as he beats out favourite Leonardo DiCaprio at the Critics Choice Awards. Timothée Chalamet had his crowning moment at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards and publicly declared his love for girlfriend Kylie Jenner during his acceptance speech for Best Actor. The 30-year-old actor beat out One Battle After Another star Leonardo DiCaprio as he was recognized for his work in ping-pong drama Marty Supreme. Chalamet beat out an impressive field including the aforementioned DiCaprio for One Battle After Another, Joel Edgerton in Train Dreams, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, Michael B. Jordan for Sinners, and Wagner Moura in The Secret Agent. Chalamet stumbled through his acceptance speech as he individually recognized the actors he was nominated against and fawned over Sinners star Michael B Jordan. But he finished off his speech by declaring his love for reality star and beauty guru Kylie Jenner – who he kissed for several seconds after his name was announced. From the stage he told her: “Thank you to my partner for three years. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” When the camera cut to Jenner, she mouthed: “I love you,” in response. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.
