Heartthrob Timothée Chalamet spills the cocoa beans on his portrayal of Willy Wonka in the upcoming musical movie. The 27-year-old actor, who beat out Hollywood heavyweights like Tom Holland and Ryan Gosling for the role, reveals that he didn’t seek advice from Johnny Depp, the previous Willy Wonka in Tim Burton’s 2005 film.
Chalamet, who once dated Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose Depp, expressed his admiration for the boldness of the 2005 version but chose not to tap into Depp’s insights. Instead, he draws inspiration from the 1971 musical adaptation starring Gene Wilder, a film he fondly remembers as the one he ‘grew up on.’
As the Wonka origin tale hits theaters, fans are already raving about Chalamet’s whimsical and charming performance. The actor earned a sweet $9 million for his role, leaving behind a competitive lineup of actors vying for the coveted chocolatier character.
Early reviews praise the film’s surprising quality, with critics hailing it as ‘surprisingly good.’ Fans express delight in Chalamet’s portrayal and the movie’s unique focus on Willy Wonka’s journey to becoming a famous chocolatier. Social media is abuzz with positive reactions, with one fan proclaiming, “Wonka. GOOD! Very good. I, of course, cried. Give it all the golden tickets.”
Chalamet’s commitment to the character and his singing skills receive acclaim, with some even comparing him to a “charisma factory.” The movie’s director, Paul King, known for the success of “Paddington” and “Paddington 2,” adds authenticity to the project, reassuring fans that “Wonka” is a genuine, joy-filled experience.
Notable stars, including Keegan-Michael Key, Matt Lucas, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant, and newcomer Calah Lane, join Chalamet in bringing this sugary delight to the big screen.
As the premiere date approaches, the anticipation for “Wonka” continues to rise, and fans are eager to witness Timothée Chalamet’s take on the iconic character without the shadow of Johnny Depp’s advice.
