Actor Timothée Chalamet expressed admiration for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders during the World Cup semifinal match between France and Spain at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Chalamet, 30, attended the game with his father, Marc, and wore a French tracksuit, showing support for the French team. During halftime, he met the cheerleaders and told them, 'It’s nice to meet you guys. Damn. I’m starstruck.' The cheerleaders shared a photo of Chalamet holding their pom-poms on their Instagram account, captioned 'Timmy in Texas.'
Chalamet also interacted with soccer legend David Beckham, who was in the VIP hospitality box. Beckham, who played for both Spain and France during his career, supported Spain, which won the match 2-0. The cheerleaders also posed for photos with Victoria Beckham, who humorously asked if she made the squad. The cheerleaders replied affirmatively and shared a family photo with the Beckhams.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, who gained fame from Netflix's docuseries 'America's Sweethearts,' performed their signature 'Thunderstruck' routine after the match. One cheerleader, Anna Kate Sundvold, shared her gratitude on Instagram, reflecting on the experience and the summer's opportunities.
