Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet stole headlines and hearts when he appeared on ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday.

While promoting his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown before it opens on Christmas Day, he some impressive correct predictions on this panel.

He also brought some great research and general knowledge to the table during this appearance, which made the experience even more fun for the viewers at home.

It was legitimately refreshing to hear someone approach this assignment as seriously as he did, especially considering many who appear on TV for their full-time job do not take that same approach.

This was not just Chalemet goofing around, though.

It appears that the New York-born 28-year-old is a longtime sports fan. In fact, way back in 2010, he even won a contest by two former NBA players and won free tickets to see the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Chalamet joked during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight that he would love to pivot to a gig at ESPN or "any sportscasting" job.

He added that acting is not always very reliable and that he would love a job for six to eight months hosting a show like Stephen A. Smith or Pat McAfee.

I see you little bro @RealChalamet.

Down to show you the ropes whenever https://t.co/Q39c3f7OHO

Smith saw the tweet and said down to show him "the ropes" whenever.

Imagine the raw talent we saw from Chalemet trained under Smith's tutelage. He would become an unstoppable force! Get this man on TV talking about sports more often!
