Monica Barbaro Defends Chalamet's Ballet Remarks, Says Top Gun 3 Lacks a Flight Plan

Summary
Barbaro said Timothée Chalamet’s disputed comments about ballet likely reflected concern over shrinking audiences, not disrespect for classical art forms.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the trained dancer pointed to costly live-performance tickets and weak support for the arts as the likelier issue behind his remarks.
She still stopped short of speaking for Chalamet, saying only that comments can mutate once they leave the room and take on a life of their own during press tours.
On Top Gun 3, Barbaro said the cast’s group chat has gone quiet and she knows nothing definitive, though she added there still seems to be "a will" to make the sequel.
