For those who believe Timothée Chalamet could play Ernie Johnson in a biopic, the actor acknowledges this while attending Game 4 between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers.

A video clip has surfaced of Chalamet's interaction with Johnson. Johnson was first talking with Ben Stiller, a fellow Knicks fan, before he was introduced to Chalamet. “I'm playing you in the biopic,” Chalamet joked while shaking Johnson's hand.

Of course, Chalamet previously expressed interest in playing Johnson in a biopic. This made Johnson even more popular with his grandchildren. While they were talking, Johnson joked that Chalamet made him the “coolest grandpa of all time.”

Chalamet and Stiller made the trip to Indiana to see Game 4 between the Knicks and Pacers. While Stiller wasn't at Game 3, Chalamet was there like a true fan.

The Knicks were unable to win against the Pacers, and they face a 3-1 deficit as the series heads back to New York for Game 5. If they hope to advance to the NBA Finals, the Knicks will need to win three in a row.
