Troye Sivan has praised Timothée Chalamet’s impression of him on Saturday Night Live, calling it “awesome” and “awesome.”
The 28-year-old Australian singer certainly wasn’t shy when he opened up about his shock and surprise on The Sunday Project this week.
Troye admitted that he knew the sketch show had asked for permission to use his song “Got Me Started,” but little else.
“Saturday Night Live asked to release ‘Got Me Started,’ so I knew they wanted to use the song, but I didn’t know what for,” he said.
Curious Troye admitted he looked for the host of the episode, only to find out it was the Hollywood heartthrob.

“It was Timothee and I thought: ‘That’s not possible, that’s not possible’, and then I just watched it live.” [with everyone else],’ he said.
Troye said he was surprised the show did an entire skit with the A-list actor imitating him.
“I thought it would be a quick moment if I got lucky or something, but it’s this full sketch and it’s great.” “It was great,” he said.
When asked if he was interested in collaborating, Troye added that he now had to impersonate Timothee.

Chalamet received widespread praise for his portrayal of Sivan, who exploited Troye’s reputation as a “twink turned indie pop star.”
The skit took place in a hospital, with the patient being told she was the “fourth woman this week to suffer from Troye Sivan dancing as her sleep demon.”
When asked if the singer was famous, the doctor in the skit replied: “He’s gay, famous, that’s different.”
The skit ended with everyone showing off their underwear, a nod to Troye’s choreography in “Got Me Started.”
This comes after Troye dominated this week’s ARIA Awards, the Australian music industry’s night of nights, after releasing Something to Give Each Other.
The “One Of Your Girls” hitmaker won the coveted Best Female Solo Artist award as well as the publicly voted Song of the Year.
He also received the Best Engineered Release and Best Produced Release awards, which were accepted by his producer Styalz Fuego.
