Monica Barbaro has defended her A Complete Unknown co-star Timothee Chalamet following his controversial remarks about ballet earlier this year. Monica explained that she interpreted Timothee's comments as being about the declining audiences for ballet and opera rather than as derogatory towards the art forms themselves. And I do think audiences are dwindling for those kinds of art forms." I feel like that was a very reckless comment on an art form, two art forms, that we need to lift up constantly because, yes, they do have a hard time. And we shouldn’t s*** on other art forms.
