Club Chalamet is a fan account on Instagram and Twitter for actor Timothée Chalamet, run by a woman named Simone Cromer;[6][7][8] she is also referred to as "Miss Club" by her fans.[9] She posts updates on the actor.[8] Cromer created the Club Chalamet Twitter account in 2018, following Chalamet's breakout role in Call Me by Your Name. She has spoken out against judgement for being an older fan of Chalamet, being 29 years his senior,[9] and started the account to provide a space for older fans, and a space to focus on his artistic pursuits.[2] Cromer considers herself a mild-mannered fan interested in Chalamet's career.[3] To celebrate the American release of Beautiful Boy in 2018, Cromer organized a contest, with the prize being a ticket to a Q&A with Chalamet; the winner was a 19-year-old fan.[3] She has met Chalamet at least once during a Los Angeles premiere of Wonka (2023).[5]
Cromer went viral in 2023 following her extensive disapproval of Chalamet's relationship with the American celebrity Kylie Jenner. In a Twitter Spaces session that was 52 minutes long, she suggested that Chalamet was blackmailed into a relationship with Jenner; the session also became prominent for a comment about the couple not being seen visiting Olive Garden, despite Chalamet allegedly liking Italian cuisine.[10] Cromer was criticised for her opinions,[6] spurring discussions about parasocial relationships between celebrities and fans, and the unhealthy nature of stan twitter.[10][6] Cromer was subject to online ridicule and mockery following the incident, and was accused of perpetuating misogyny against Jenner, following a trend where the female partners of male celebrities often receive seemingly unwarranted negative attention.[6] Cromer later claimed the negative backlash was orchestrated by Jenner's family, the Kardashian family.[10][6] Despite the negative attention, Cromer denies having an unhealthy infatuation with Chalamet, viewing him "as a nephew" and an artist.[2]
Following Vanity Fair posting an image of Chalamet and Jenner together and captioning it "Club Chalamet, our heart goes out to you", Cromer responded, saying "Hey, @VanityFair, I'm fine, I'm always here for Timothée. Always!".[11] Her reactions and criticism inspired an internet meme of how she would react to developments of their relationship,[4][11][12] which was referenced by the American actress Rachel Zegler in May 2025.[4]
Cromer is credited for popularising the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest of 2024. She incorrectly predicted that Chalamet would not attend due to security concerns and conflicting work schedules. Chalamet made an appearance at Washington Square Park and took pictures with several contestants.[13] She took a brief hiatus from April to May 2025.[4] Cromer advocates against ageism in Hollywood. She believes that major award bodies refuse to award men under 30 because of their youth, and has criticized an anonymous SAG-AFTRA voter for voting against Chalamet due to him having "time".[9]
