In a crossover that took the internet by surprise, Timothee Chalamet was spotted having lunch with Larry David – and fans are loving what is perhaps one of the coolest and most unexpected celebrity friendships that we’ve seen.
The actor, 25, and the comedian, 74, were photographed having lunch together on earlier this week at Sant Ambroeus in New York City and, naturally, social media went crazy for the snaps – especially since the pair seemed to be having a whale of a time in each other’s company.
Also at the al fresco meet-up was David’s 25-year-old daughter, Romy, along with another guest. There were what looked to be espresso martinis at the table.
Images of the rendezvous soon went viral online as one fan posted the photos and jokingly wrote: “Gonna tell my kids this was Rick and Morty” – comparing the pair to the main characters from the adult animated science fiction sitcom.
People seem to agree with the comparison, as the tweet received nearly 100,000 likes.

Elsewhere, some think that David is what Chalamet will look like when he’s older.

The unexpected showbiz friendship even seems to have inspired one fan’s Halloween costume idea for this year too.

This meet-up isn’t the only reason David made the news recently.
Photos of him at New York Fashion Week show him plugging his ears, seemingly unimpressed by the loud music booming on the runway.
