No, it wasnt pure imagination.
along with the first official (unofficial) glimpse of the film.
And, no, it wasnt an emotionally stirring rendition of Pure Imagination or a Statistics reprise.
and i am living !
Ive got 12 silver sovereigns in my pocket / And a hat full of dreams.
And now its like, 100,000 views and Im like,Am I about to lose my whole account?
How did you first discover theWonkaset?It was, honestly, totally bizarre.
I live in a really, really quiet place in the southwest of England.
Genuinely nothing happens here.
I cant describe how quiet it is.
Theres like a really nice beach ten minutes from us, which we always go for walks on.
Then, it turned out that there was some kind of filming going on.
I was like, Oh, Mom, whats going on on the beach?
And she was like, Oh, theyre filming that film calledWonka.
I think its got Rowan Atkinson in.
And I was like, You mean the film with Timothee Chalamet?
And she was like, Whos that?
Im back the following day and then he shot yesterday and today.
It was just the coolest thing ever.
He looked like he was having a really good fun time and the crew was super lovely.
It always provides a really nice sense of community.
And I was like, This is amazing.
Do you like it?Oh, getting ready to wade into the discourse.
Um, yeah, I think its really cute.
I dont know if that is going to be the final version.
Its so nice to see him skipping around with his little cane and his hat.
Like, the body language was so good.
Even just from his walk I was like, Hes got this down.
Its really fun to see him lean into theater-kid roots again.
We love theater kids.
There seem to be a lot of French writing on the vehicles and number plates.
So, I feel like it might be like France or Canada, but dont hold me to that.
And it looked like they were filming him getting off of a boat.
Either hes going to get the Oompa Loompas or coming back from them, or I dont know.
Dont want to wade into the Oompa Loompa discourse too much because its gonna be athing.
Timmys hair is always a topic of discussion when new set photos drop.
I just think thats really nice, like in character/out of character.
The sun was shining on it.
It was bouncy and golden and even more beautiful than I could ever imagine.
How has the response from his stans been?Honestly, really nice.
Its been so nice to see everyone being like Oh, thank you for this.
Ive been the hugest fan of his for so long.
So, finally to have loads of people who appreciate it as much as me is so nice.
i could shout twink and this man would hear me
Youve claimed Wonka Timothee Chalamet as a twink.He is.
Im not attaching any other labels other than twink.
I think you cant disagree with that.
Can you describe some of the qualities that make him a twink?Its just the walk.
Theres no other way to put it.
