Timothee Chalamet showed off his likeness to Harry Styles on this week’s episode of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

During his hosting debut, the 24-year-old actor impersonated Styles on a visit to the “The Dionne Warwick Talk Show.” Chalamet spoke in a British accent and wore a white collar and high-waisted trousers, as the former One Direction member often does. 

“I’m Harry Styles. I’m a singer. I’m told I’m a sensual fashion man. You could say I do it for everyone,” Chalamet’s Styles said with a wink. 

When Ego Nwodim’s Warwick asked where she knew the British pop star from, Chalamet pointed to Styles’ hit song “Watermelon Sugar.”

“I think it’s just about summer, but some people think it’s about oral sex,” Chalamet told her, referring to the ongoing debate about the track’s significance. He clarified, “On a woman.”

When Nwodim asked Chalamet to weigh in on Warwick's feud with fellow television host Wendy Williams, he responded: "I'm sorry. I don't know who Wendy Williams is."

 

Both Chalamet and Styles have large fan bases, so seeing the "Call Me by Your Name" actor nail the singer's mannerisms drew strong reactions. 

Many people said they were thankful for the crossover.

One person joked that the sketch made it feel like "the world has come full circle," and another stated that it will "always be the best thing I've ever witnessed."

 

After Chalamet left the stage, Melissa Villaseñor appeared dressed as Billie Eilish.

She was followed by Chloe Fineman, who revived her impersonation of Chalamet, and Pete Davidson, who pretended to be his longtime friend Machine Gun Kelly. 

At the end of the show, Chalamet drew inspiration from Styles again for his final send-off.

"I guess I could say one thing, is treat others with kindness. And you know, we've all been through a crazy year. That can be something that sounds corny," Chalamet said.

He continued: "Somebody else famous made it really well known, that saying, but... Harry Styles did it. I impersonated him two seconds ago. But it's true, we could all do a little bit of kindness. Every little gesture counts."

 

Fans were thrilled Chalamet ended the night with the reference to the "Adore You" singer and his iconic catchphrase.
