When Timothée Chalamet received the Best Actor award, nervousness was clearly visible in his voice. He said, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be on this stage again, so give me a moment.” In her speech she addressed Kylie Jenner directly after thanking director Josh Safdie and her co-stars.
“Thank you for my partner of three years… I love you. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
When the camera panned to Kylie Jenner, she was sitting peacefully and also quietly said “I love you.” The moment was viewed millions of times on social media and became one of the most public and emotional moments of the pair’s relationship.
Body Language Expert’s View : Was Kylie Uncomfortable?
Despite this sweet moment, a body language expert has an interesting comment on Kylie Jenner’s behavior. According to expert Judy James, Kylie Jenner did not seem completely confident at the time. They reported that Kylie Jenner was constantly combing her hair and picking at her nails, which are usually signs of anxiety or discomfort.
Additionally, Judy also noted that Kylie Jenner held Timothy’s arm close to her body, which seemed like a “needy ritual” and was supposed to convey a sense of security or ownership. This analysis shows that showing such personal emotion on a public stage was probably a deeply emotional experience for both of them.
