Timothee Chalamet spent the BAFTAs texting on his phone after host Alan Cumming instructed the audience to ‘turn off all electronic devices’.
The Hollywood actor, 30, looked in good spirits as he took his seat next to girlfriend Kylie Jenner at The Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday.
However, Timothee didn’t seem too interested in the ceremony, despite being nomintated for Leading Actor in Marty Supreme, as he was spotted texting on his phone.
The Dune star was sent multiple messages by a friend and even recieved a meme of himself wearing the bold orange suit he donned at the premiere of his film, Marty Supreme in Los Angeles in December.
Timothee later scrolled through his imessages while chatting to glamorous partner Kylie who wowed in a plunging black gown with silver jewelled detailing on the front.
The billionaire make-up mogul decided to skip the BAFTAs red carpet and let Timothee bask in the spotlight by walking it alone.

The Hollywood actor, looked in good spirits as he took his seat next to girlfriend Kylie Jenner at The Royal Festival Hall in London on sunday
But the pair put on a loved up appearance as they sat hand in hand after taking their seats ahead of the ceremony.
Kylie and the Oscar-nominee have been dating for more than three years and already live together, with marriage being a consideration, according to a Daily Mail source.
Kicking off the night, host Alan opened the show by asking audience to turn off all electronic devices apart from pacemakers and ‘ozempic alarms’.
Hosted by Alan, this year’s BAFTA ceremony will welcome stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jacob Elordi and Michael B. Jordan as the year’s biggest cinema releases are honoured.
Those walking the red carpet will be treated to a DJ set by Magic FM presenter Neev Spencer, while Clara Amfo and Ali Plumb will be reporting live from outside the legendary London venue.
A lengthy list of celebrity guest presenters includes Aimee Lou Wood, Alicia Vikander, Cillian Murphy, Ethan Hawke, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sadie Sink and British grime artist Stormzy.
The Royal Festival Hall stage will also welcome appearances from Kerry Washington, Minnie Driver, Monica Bellucci, Patrick Dempsey and Regé-Jean Page, among others.
Entertainment on the night will come from a diverse spectrum of performers, including a first performance outside the United States of record breaking track Golden from KPop Demon Hunters, sung by JAE, AUDREYNUNA & REI AMI, the voices of HUNTR/X.

Meanwhile, British singer Jessie Ware will perform a Barbara Streisand cover in a moving tribute during the In Memoriam.
This year’s Special Award recipients include Dame Donna Langley, who will be honoured with this year’s BAFTA Fellowship, the arts charity’s highest accolade.
The British Chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment will be celebrated for her prolific career and as of the most influential and respected figures in the entertainment industry.
Additionally, Clare Binns, Creative Director of Picture House Cinemas, will be presented with the BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award.
The honour recognises her role in championing diverse and fiercely independent work on big screens around the United Kingdom.
One Battle After Another will no doubt be hoping to win one award after another, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film earning a remarkable fourteen nominations at this year’s ceremony.
But it faces stiff competition, notably from supernatural horror Sinners, with thirteen nominations, and Hamnet, director Chloé Zhao’s moving drama about the death of Shakespeare’s only son, with eleven.
Adapted for the screen from Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning novel about the Bard’s family life, Hamnet has broken the record for the most nominations for a female-directed film in BAFTA history.
Irish star Jessie Buckley has been nominated for her lead role in the film after already scoring a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award and nominations for the Academy Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Co-star Paul Mescal, who was was snubbed during Oscar nominations, will also be hoping for an award after earning a Supporting Actor BAFTA nod.

Elsewhere, Marty Supreme starring Timothée Chalamet will be hoping to make it three times lucky after earning eleven BAFTA nominations, including Best Film and Best Actor, following recent wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.
Frankenstein and Sentimental Value each have eight whilst there are five nominations for I Swear and Bugonia, and three nominations for The Ballad of Wallis Island, Pillion and F1.
Also vying for the Leading Actress BAFTA are Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You; Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue; Chase Infiniti for One Battle After Another; Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value and Emma Stone for Bugonia.
Leonardo DiCaprio could earn his second ever BAFTA after scoring his seventh nomination, this year for his Leading Actor performance in the already heavily decorated movie One Battle After Another.
