Actors Timothee Chalamet and Ben Stiller have become an unlikely NBA tandem in support of their favorite team, the New York Knicks, and they are enjoying it.

Stiller spoke about the bond he has formed with Chalamet on his appearance on The Putback with Ian Begley on Wednesday, sharing that they have known each other for a couple of years now.

The Zoolander star said of Timothee Chalamet:

“We met each other over the years a few times and I’m a fan of his, he’s a great actor, always seemed like a nice guy. Saw him at some Knicks games and then we were at the Detroit series and were both looking to go to Detroit, so we decided to go together and got to know each other."

He went to say:

“Genuine Knicks fan through and through. New Yorker, New York kid, and has a true appreciation of the game and no trouble calling out the refs during a game, too.”

McAfee hyped up the Pacers crowd by saying:

"We got some bigwigs from the big city in the building. Spike Lee is here. Ben Stiller is here. Timothée Chalamet is here. Let’s send these sons of b****es back to New York with their ears ringing."

Stiller, however, just laughed it off while inviting McAfee to come to New York for Game 5.
