Fran Drescher expressed willingness to serve as the officiant at the Timothée Chalamet wedding if asked, during the 2026 Actor Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The “Nanny” star, attending the event alongside her “Marty Supreme” co-star Timothée Chalamet, made the remarks while discussing her potential role in the upcoming nuptials between Chalamet and his girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Fran Drescher’s Offer to Officiate the Ceremony
At 68 years old, Fran Drescher made it clear she would be happy to take on the role of wedding officiant for the Timothée Chalamet wedding, noting her past experience with officiating gay weddings. Speaking to Keltie Knight on Live From E!: Actor Awards 2026, she said,
“I do officiate gay weddings, so I certainly can branch out and officiate this if they wanted me to.”
Despite her openness, she admitted doubt about being asked to perform the ceremony, adding,
“I have a feeling they’re not going to ask.”
The Close Bond Between Fran Drescher and Timothée Chalamet
Fran’s connection with Timothée extends beyond their on-screen relationship in the film “Marty Supreme.” She shared several anecdotes highlighting her motherly concern for him during press events. Recalling a moment atop the Empire State Building, Drescher said,
“He’s very sweet and kind of vulnerable and very charming,”
and added,
“when we did some press on the top of the Empire State Building, he actually is afraid of heights and I kind of felt a need to mother him in that moment. I felt very, very worried about him.”
She also recounted advising Timothée with humor and care, stating,
“I said, ‘Look, we’re not curing cancer. Let’s get off of the roof of the Empire State Building.’”
This story illustrates the warmth Fran brought to their working relationship and how she looked out for him in real life.
