And eat it he did. In that exact same interview, King stated, maybe jokingly, maybe not, that he may need gained 50 kilos whereas making this film from all of the chocolate he consumed throughout the manufacturing. As for his star, Timothée Chalamet is outwardly not solely a gifted famous person on the rise, however his metabolism is sort of supernatural. King defined:
“It is a miracle that Timmy stays so slim and good-looking. I am attempting to fatten him up, nevertheless it’s onerous to do.”
These two weren’t the one ones benefiting from their very personal chocolatier on set. King inferred the forged and crew consumed a “nice deal” of chocolate whereas making the film, one thing he says “is a superb factor.” Hear, hear, I say. Did anyone who grew up with both the 1971 authentic and even the Tim Burton remake not dream of consuming these scrumdiddlyumptious treats on display? If you happen to had the ability to have your individual chocolate maker readily available you’d completely make the most of that, too.
So, good on King for doing the correct factor and utilizing actual, honest-to-God scrumptious chocolate to make his “Wonka” flick. We’ll know the way properly he did on December 15, 2023, when the movie hits screens. I am unsure the world was clamoring for a Willy Wonka prequel, however I would not wager in opposition to the man who made each “Paddington” movies into fashionable household classics. Particularly since we now know he respects the candy tooth.
