Don’t even get Troye Sivan started on his excitement over one of Timothée Chalamet’s recent songs Saturday night live sketches.
The Oscar-nominated actor (27) was the host SNL for the second time on Saturday — and in one skit, he played a version of Sivan the sleeping demon, wearing the same clothes and busting the same moves the Australian singer does in his recent “Got Me Started” music video.
A day after the skit aired, Sivan expressed his shock on social media, saying in a TikTok video that he was in disbelief.

“The only way I can describe this is it’s like a weird fucking dream,” he said. “Imagine… I mean, no, Timothée Chalamet was in my dream, but he was me, he wore my clothes and he did…”
Sivan, 28, also shared a clip of the sketch on Instagram with the caption, “WHY IS LIFE SO STRANGE RN I WANT TO BE DEAD.”
Bowen Yang, who played a doctor in the sketch, responded in the comments section with, “🎶 God I wish it was you 🎶,” a line from Sivan’s song “What’s the Time Where You Are?”
The skit is called “Troye Sivan Sleep Demon” and features a woman (played by Sarah Sherman) at a sleep clinic experiencing sleep paralysis. While she was trying to explain to the doctor (played by Yang) the mysterious figures she was seeing in her dream, Chalamet appeared as Sivan.
The Dune the actor used the same blue pants, white cropped tank top and red underwear that Sivan does in his music video — and gave the music video’s choreography a twist.

When the woman asked him if he was a demon, Chalamet replied, “No. Not really, girl. I’m an Australian YouTube twink indie pop star. And model-turned-HBO actor Troye Sivan played by an American actor who can’t speak an Australian accent. Goodbye, diva.”
Yang then explained to her that the so-called Sivan dream demon was being seen in more and more patients and warned that it would start to multiply if she invited them into her dreams. Soon, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker of the band boygenius (the evening’s musical guest) appeared in the same outfit, eventually doing the same dance and also dropping their pants to reveal their red underwear — as Sivan does in his video.
