In a recent interview on Jimmy Fallon, actor Hugh Grant provided insight into his experience working with Timothée Chalamet on their latest film, Wonka. The British actor, known for his charming roles, humorously admitted that he and his co-star did not see eye to eye. The interview took a comedic turn as Grant playfully mocked Chalamet's tendency to bring up his French heritage.
During the interview, host Jimmy Fallon engaged the audience by inviting them to ask Grant questions. Surprisingly, the camera revealed Chalamet, disguised in a stick-on mustache and a red Love Actually baseball cap, posing as a member of the audience. The crowd erupted with excitement, and Fallon jokingly commented on Chalamet's popularity.
Fallon then asked Grant about his experience working with various actors throughout his illustrious career, specifically inquiring about Chalamet's ranking. Grant candidly responded, "Well, I'm assuming this isn't part of the show that's going to be broadcast so I'll tell you the truth. To be honest, I didn't like him. None of us did. I don't know what it is. There's something just weird about that whole French 'Timothée Chalamet.'"
Grant playfully imitated a stereotypical French accent, amusing the audience with the line, "Je suis Français, Do you like me?" Chalamet joined in on the jest, nodding in agreement and affirming, "For sure, for sure, for sure."
The duo's on-screen chemistry may have been questionable, but off-screen, Grant shared an unexpected revelation. He confessed to becoming a dedicated fan of K-pop girl group Blackpink, all thanks to his daughter. When asked by Fallon if he was a "blink" (Blackpink fan), Grant enthusiastically affirmed his newfound fandom.
The interview shed light on Grant's genuine feelings about working with Chalamet, providing a humorous and entertaining moment for both the audience and viewers. The pair's humorous banter highlighted their ability to joke about their on-screen dynamic, giving a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes camaraderie during the making of Wonka.
Wonka, a musical fantasy film, hit cinemas last Friday, captivating audiences with its whimsical storytelling and enchanting performances. With Grant's portrayal as an Oompa Loompa and Chalamet leading as Wonka, the film promises to be a thrilling and imaginative cinematic experience.
In the end, while Grant may not have been a fan of working with Chalamet, their playful interactions during the interview showcased their ability to find humor in their on-set dynamics. Their on-screen chemistry, however, is left for the viewers to judge as they watch Wonka unfold on the silver screen.
