Timothée Chalamet's Concerns Over 'Wonka' as a "Cynical Money Grab" Proven Wrong
Timothée Chalamet initially had doubts about the Wonka reboot, thinking it might be a "cynical money grab," but changed his mind after reading the script. He was drawn to the clever lyrics and the portrayal of a young, hopeful, and ambitious Willy Wonka. Chalamet, who didn't audition for the role, expressed his love for musical theater and old movies, and praised director Paul King. Wonka is set to release on December 15th.
