The Oscar-nominated actor recently came under fire online and from the performing arts community after he claimed in an interview that people don't care about ballet or opera anymore. The Nanny actress, who plays Chalamet's mother in the drama, came to his defence on Sunday, insisting to People that he has "great respect and regard for the arts", coming from a family filled with ballet dancers. In a separate interview with E! News at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's 2026 Oscars viewing party, Drescher spoke to Chalamet's character, saying: "I actually find him to be a very sweet and kind person, so I think that maybe he got a little too relaxed and maybe spoke out of turn.”
