Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle has shared a heartwarming gesture from Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet, who sent her a personalised jacket from his new film after publicly declaring his admiration for her.
A Surprise Gift from a Hollywood Fan
Earlier in December 2025, Timothée Chalamet, 29, surprised many by naming Susan Boyle, 64, as one of his "all-time greats" during an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. The New York-born actor, famed for his role in Call Me By Your Name, expressed how moved he was by Boyle's iconic 2009 Britain's Got Talent audition, where she performed I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables.
"She dreamt big – she dreamt bigger than all of us," Chalamet said, recalling the early days of YouTube. The unexpected praise clearly resonated with Boyle, who later took to social media to thank him for his "incredibly touching" and "kind" words.
The 'Marty Supreme' Jacket Honour
Chalamet, who is currently promoting his latest movie where he plays the title role in Marty Supreme, has been gifting specially designed jackets from the film to individuals he considers exceptional. Susan Boyle has now become a proud recipient of this unique honour.
Posing in the jacket, Boyle expressed her gratitude via a statement reported by the BBC. "Thanks so much for the kind words once again, Timothée," she said. "All the very best for the film, looking forward to seeing it on Boxing Day and thanks for the jacket, it fits like a glove!"
Public Reaction and a Lasting Legacy
The interaction between the global movie star and the beloved UK singer has delighted fans on social media. Reactions ranged from "This is so cute" and "He is so adorable" to fans declaring Boyle deserved the recognition. One fan poignantly noted, "Susan Boyle because she dreamt bigger than all of us!" – echoing Chalamet's own words.
Despite finishing as the runner-up to dance troupe Diversity in the 2009 series of Britain's Got Talent, Susan Boyle's career skyrocketed. Her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream (2009), sold over ten million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century. She also made history as the first female artist to have three successive albums debut at number one in the UK charts in under two years.
This exchange highlights the enduring impact of Boyle's talent and story, proving that a moment of genuine artistry can inspire admiration across different worlds and generations, from a Hollywood A-lister to millions of fans around the globe.
