The voice is extremely similar to the voice that he had at the start of his acting career. The way he delivers his script in the videos is similar to Chalamet’s initial career style as well. This is not all the proof.

The investigation was involved in clearing any doubt about the person in the video being Timothee Chalamet. Nonetheless they went profound into the process and found something special. In addition to all the above proofs of his identity they identified a scar on Chalamet’s finger in the video which is seen by many people on Chalamet’s finger in real life as well.
