Timothée Chalamet may be one of the biggest Hollywood A-listers on the planet at the moment, but the “Dune” actor was every Knicks fan on Monday night after the Knicks swept the Cavaliers to earn their first trip to the NBA Finals in 27 years. 

In images captured after the game by The Post’s photogs, Chalamet was spotted celebrating with Knicks president Leon Rose and taking a picture with him. 

In another photo, the actor was seen celebrating alongside fellow Knicks celeb superfan Spike Lee. 

The two posed for an Instagram Story photo earlier in the day, which was posted to Chalamet’s account.

In other scenes from the postgame celebration, video showed Chalamet sharing a moment with Mikal Bridges, calling him “The GOAT.” 

“Bro, I got your jersey in my house,” Chalamet could be heard telling him. 

In another moment, he dapped up Jalen Brunson and called him “the king.”

He posted a photo to his Instagram Stories of the team receiving the East trophy with the caption: Knicks to the motherf–king Finals Thats It.”

Chalamet, who got an Eastern Conference championship hat, was among several Knicks VIPs at Rocket Arena. 

Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, Fat Joe, Patrick Ewing and Walt “Clyde” Frazier were on hand for the historic Knicks moment on Monday. 

Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, also made the trip to Cleveland for the game and the two were photographed having a blast during the game, sitting next to Morgan.

Knicks owner James Dolan was also there and was seen celebrating the victory with Lee. 

The Knicks embarrassed the Cavs on Monday night, holding a 33-9 advantage in fastbreak points and outscoring the Cavaliers 58-24 in bench points. 

Brunson, who was named Eastern Conference finals MVP, finished the night with 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting, while Karl-Anthony Towns had a team-high 19 points.
