The Knicks superfan pair were seated courtside, and TNT’s cameras showed a pre-game sequence showing Chalamet, Stiller, and Johnson.
Stiller was in a conversation with Johnson and introduced him to Chalamet, who shook hands with the broadcaster.
Then, the Dune star decided to pitch an idea to play Johnson in a biopic.
“I’m playing you in the biopic,” Chalamet said twice to Johnson.
The 68-year-old Johnson then told Chalamet that the 29-year-old made him the “coolest grandpa of all time” as Stiller was seen smiling.
Fans loved the sequence involving the two Hollywood A-listers and longtime TNT star Johnson.
“So cool,” one wrote.
“Too funny!! [laughing emojis],” another commented.
“YESSS let’s gooo casting goals,” a third added.
“Can’t match this aura,” a fourth joked.
Chalamet’s “biopic” remark was a reference to an episode of Inside the NBA in January.
During that episode, Johnson said he knew Chalemet had worked for five years to play Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, but it wouldn’t take nearly that long to “get him done.”
Sadly for Chalamet and Stiller, the Knicks lost in Game 4 and are currently down 3-1 in the series.
The Knickerbockers are on the brink of elimination as they will be facing the Pacers in New York for Game 5 on Thursday.
