Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> may be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but during a visit to Dallas Stadium for the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup semifinal between France and Spain, the actor admitted he was the one feeling starstruck.<\/p>\n

The “Dune” actor met members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders before kickoff on Tuesday, sharing hugs, smiles and photos with the squad in a moment that quickly spread across social media after the NFL posted a video of the encounter on Instagram.<\/p>\n

“Yo, nice to meet you guys,” Chalamet said as he greeted the cheerleaders in the clip.<\/p>\n

Moments later, the Oscar-nominated actor turned toward the camera and joked, “I’m starstruck.”<\/p>\n

The interaction immediately caught fans’ attention, not only because of Chalamet’s status as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable actors, but because he appeared genuinely excited to meet the famous cheer squad often referred to as “America’s Sweethearts.”<\/p>\n

Chalamet, who attended the match wearing a France jacket in support of his family’s roots and the French national team, was in Dallas to watch France face Spain in the World Cup semifinal. Spain eventually secured a 2-0 victory, ending France’s run in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Video shared by the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders showed Chalamet warmly greeting the group, hugging several members and posing for photos.<\/p>\n

Fans noticed that the actor appeared familiar with the cheerleaders beyond their uniforms and performances.<\/p>\n

According to reports surrounding the interaction, Chalamet even recognized cheerleader Anna Kate by name, sparking excitement among followers of Netflix<\/a>‘s hit series “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.”<\/p>\n

The streaming series has introduced audiences around the world to the women behind the iconic uniforms while documenting the demands of auditions, training camps and game-day performances.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have also become a major presence during the 2026 World Cup matches held at Dallas Stadium, where they have performed and appeared alongside fans visiting from across the globe.<\/p>\n

For Chalamet, meeting the group seemed to be a memorable experience despite his own celebrity status.<\/p>\n

Some viewers focused on Chalamet’s enthusiasm, with one user writing, “How sweet!”<\/p>\n

Another added, “He knows the real stars.”<\/p>\n

Others joked about the actor’s expression during the interaction, with one fan commenting, “He’s looking at them like he just found out football has fans.”<\/p>\n

Several viewers praised the actor’s personality, including one response that read, “He just seems like a cool dude.”<\/p>\n

Another playful comment referenced Chalamet’s relationship with Kylie Jenner<\/a>, saying, “yo chill timmy, WE got kylie at home.”<\/p>\n

The interaction also sparked discussion among longtime followers of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. One commenter questioned whether fan interaction policies had changed, writing, “Correct me if I’m mistaken but aren’t fans supposed not to touch the DCC? Unless you’re a celebrity I guess!!! \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f”<\/p>\n

Others joked that the squad’s usual rules may have briefly disappeared for the Hollywood actor.<\/p>\n

The attention surrounding the meeting highlights the growing visibility of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, whose popularity has expanded well beyond NFL sidelines thanks in part to their Netflix docuseries and international appearances.<\/p>\n

The latest season of “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” follows the 2025-26 squad through auditions, training camp and the NFL season while documenting the pressure that comes with increased fame and social media attention.<\/p>\n

As the cheerleaders continue appearing at major events, including World Cup matches hosted in Dallas, moments like Tuesday’s encounter show how their reach now extends into entertainment and celebrity culture.<\/p>\n

For Chalamet, meanwhile, the appearance added another chapter to his increasingly public sports fandom. Earlier this year, the actor celebrated the New York Knicks’ NBA championship run and famously declared after the victory, “Way rather this than the Oscars<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

For a few moments before one of soccer’s biggest matches, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet became just another fan meeting the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.<\/p>\n
