Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has been spotted showing love for Nigeria by donning the iconic Super Eagles jersey from the 1996 Olympic Games, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Dune actor, who is currently preparing for the production of Dune: Part Three, was seen on Saturday, July 5, enjoying a beach day at Shellona Beach in Saint-Tropez, France, alongside girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
The 29-year-old cut a relaxed figure in the green-and-white retro jersey—famously worn by Nigeria’s legendary 1996 Olympic squad—paired with army green cargo shorts, white sneakers, a navy blue Nike baseball cap, and a green-and-white bandana.
Nigeria’s 1996 Olympic football team stunned the world by winning gold at the Summer Games in Atlanta.
The Super Eagles beat Brazil in the semifinals and then came from behind to defeat Argentina 3-2 in the final, with goals from Celestine Babayaro, Daniel Amokachi, and Emmanuel Amuneke.
Chalamet, known for roles in The French Dispatch, Call Me by Your Name, and Dune, is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and continues to draw headlines for both his work and style—this time, catching attention in Nigerian football fashion.
