"I am hoping to discover some local artisan products for my friends and relatives," he explained.
"What is the name of that particular chocolate shop here?" Chalamet inquired of the British podcast hosts.
Theakston and Holden, both 54, offered several recommendations to the Beautiful Boy star, who appeared uncertain if any matched his intended destination.
"Legoland is located in that direction," Holden quipped afterward. "Does Kylie enjoy constructing with Legos?"
Chalamet and Jenner, 28, whose relationship began in April 2023, were recently photographed engaging in public displays of affection at the Los Angeles premiere for Marty Supreme.
The couple, previously reserved regarding their romance, wore coordinating bright orange ensembles from Chrome Hearts; this specific color choice has become Chalamet's distinctive shade throughout the promotional cycle.
Jenner also showed her support for Chalamet by attending the film's New York premiere in October. Variety magazine reported on October 7th that the pair "occupied a corner booth, embracing one another while fellow attendees extended congratulations to Chalamet on his acting."
The couple has faced considerable speculation regarding the current state of their romance.
A recent surge of rumors in November suggested the couple had separated, following Chalamet's notable absence from Kylie's mother, Kris Jenner's 70th birthday celebration.
Subsequently, an exclusive source informed Us Weekly that the couple remained "very much together and committed," even though Chalamet missed the party.

"Timothée's absence from Kris's party was due to commitments on two major projects and ongoing work obligations," the source explained to Us. "He has been occupied filming Dune, but he and Kylie utilize FaceTime daily to communicate."
Marty Supreme is scheduled for release on Christmas Day and has generated significant anticipation, partially driven by the unique promotional style adopted by the lead actor.
Within this sports-themed comedy, Chalamet portrays the main character, Marty Mauser, a young man striving to become a ping-pong champion.
The character draws loose inspiration from Marty Reisman, a former professional table tennis player who passed away in 2012 at the age of 82.
The official summary of the A24 production, written and directed by Josh Safdie, depicts Marty as “a young man with aspirations that others disregard,” who endures significant hardship “in pursuit of greatness.”
"This film centers on grand aspirations. It is a narrative about ambition," Chalamet remarked on the "Heart Breakfast" podcast. "It’s a story about believing in one’s unique life purpose, even during bleak periods; while this might sound cliché in today’s difficult climate, I believe the message holds significant weight. It's relevant not only for younger audiences but for everyone, offering the understanding that significant dreams are attainable."
