I grew up watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and I adored Gene Wilder in the lead role.
So anytime I hear that they are doing another version, I expect Willy Wonka to live up to the charisma and magic that Wilder had in the role. Johnny Depp didn’t do it. And I don’t think Timothée Chalamet will either. He does not have that “It Factor” that makes him special for a role like this, at least not in this trailer.
While I don’t see him as the chocolate genius, I can’t wait to see this movie on December 15th. It feels like a fantasy adventure that is perfect for Christmastime, like The Greatest Showman or Mary Poppins.
So it will be fun to watch! That, and let’s be real, we are all going to see Hugh Grant dancing as an Oompa Loompa. We need more of him ASAP!
Timothée Chalamet showed up at the Oscars in a look, I don’t think, we have seen before. The actor wore a Louis Vuitton black sequenced jacket and black pants. However, there was one piece of clothing he was visibly not wearing, and it was a shirt.
Now, it looked cool AF on the red carpet. But, I am sure he regretted that decision when he got inside, and the room was freezing because of the AC. And you know, luck would have it, that he would be seated under the air conditioning vent. Making his nipples harder than most when they saw him go shirtless. And I am sure that was not the only article of clothing he was missing…
