During any event where you're forced to sit down for hours, there are bound to be moments where you feel just a tad bored. That goes for even the glitziest, most glamorous of Hollywood events.

At the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards, one nominee was unlucky enough to be caught in one such moment when he wasn't really paying attention.

Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated this year for his role in Beautiful Boy, was caught on camera reading what appears to be a brochure of sorts, while the others at his table (NBD, just Emily Blunt and John Krasinski) were looking dutifully at the stage.

People on Twitter immediately started speculating about what the 23-year-old actor was reading, as Entertainment Weekly shared a shot of reading Chalamet with the caption "What's Timothée Chalamet reading at the #SAGAwards?"

Cue all the age-related humour.

Was Timmy reading up on future roles? Anything is possible!

Others speculated that Timmy was simply reading the SAG Awards programme, presumably to see when his own category was up.

Keep reading, Timmy.
