Before Timothée Chalamet was a multi-nominated actor, he got his start on Law & Order like so many New Yorkers. How believable was the 12-year-old as a dead body?
Have you ever wondered what Zendaya means? Well, now we know.
The actress wanted to see how well her Dune: Part II co-stars know her, so she asked them during a Vanity Fair shoot. And neither Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet, Javier Bardem, nor Josh Brolin knew the answer.
So, what is the meaning behind her name? It means “to give thanks.”
Awww. How nice! My name means “to rise again.” I am a Vampire, and she is someone we are thankful for. And that is why she is a movie star, and I am writing about her.
Norton wanted to talk to the legend about the fact that someone is going to be playing her in a biopic. So, Julia Roberts yelled out, “Say it’s me. Please, say it’s me.” Then, Cher looked over her, tapped her shoulder, and said, “OK. It’s you.” to shut her up, which Roberts didn’t do.
Julia then imitated the unique way Cher flicks her back. And you can tell at this point Cher was over it because the singer looked at Norton as to say to him that he should pay attention to me and not her.
So he got the message and did. That is when he asked her if they had cast someone to play the part. And she said they haven’t because she can’t find anyone to fit her extraordinary life into a script short enough to be a movie.
So Cher asked for Tom Hanks’ help since he produced Mamma Mia 2, a movie she starred in, and he loved her singing in it. He especially loved the way she sang Abba’s Fernando. So he said as long as someone sings that song, it will be fine.
Hanks accidentally opened up a can of worms because she explained to him that she will be doing her own singing in the film. She hates it when people sing other people’s songs in production because it never sounds like the original singer.
That is when Roberts chimed in again, to explain not all the time. That is because Timothée Chalamet, who was also a guest, had just been cast to play Bob Dylan.
The difference between Cher and Dylan, is she is known for her voice, and Dylan for his lyrics.
Anyways, back to Cher. Roberts added that no one is like Cher and lovingly asked her, “How do you stand yourself?” Cher told, “I don’t! I’m a pain in the ass.”
But not as big of a pain in the ass as Roberts was to her during this episode.
And there was just one more zinger from Cher to Julia. When Cher said that her life was too big for a movie script, Roberts suggested they turn it into a miniseries. Cher didn’t even look at her when she said with disdain, “Yeah. I don’t think so.”
And with that, I love Cher even more! Because she doesn’t have time for anyone’s bullshit, including another Oscar winner who used to be highest paid female film actress.
When Warner Bros. released the first trailer for Wonka, we were left wanting more. More Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa that is. And we are getting that in the new trailer for the film.
I still don’t know what to make of the prequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. But I will go see it for the cinematography and Grant—both of which live up to my pure imagination.
Wonka magically appears in movie theaters on December 15th
Before Timothée Chalamet had kids dancing with him because of his chocolate in Wonka, they were doing it to help win Rising Stars. You can tell that the 16-year-old was destined to be a star in 2012.
