Tim Houthi Chalamet, Yemeni Pirate, Social Media Fame
A 19-year-old Yemeni man, Rashad al-Haddad, has gained social media fame for his resemblance to actor Timothée Chalamet while posting videos from a seized cargo ship. Dubbed "Tim Houthi Chalamet," Haddad uses his platform to explain the Houthi perspective on Red Sea attacks to Western audiences. The ship he frequents has reportedly been turned into a local tourist attraction in Yemen.
