Hugh Grant Was “Nervous” to Work With Timothee Chalamet in ‘Wonka’

In a recent chat with PEOPLE, Hugh Grant spilled the cocoa beans on his Wonka adventure with Timothee Chalamet, and oh boy, it was a rollercoaster of emotions – or more like a chocolate river ride.

Admitting his initial jitters, Grant confessed, “I was a bit nervous of him. I mean, who wouldn’t be? I don’t like people who are too successful, and I thought his career had gone a bit too well. It’s like, calm down, Timothee, leave some success for the rest of us!”

But fear not, dear for Hugh eventually warmed up to Timothee’s charm. Why, you ask? Well, because young Chalamet turned out to be a purveyor of top-notch gossip. Move over, tabloids; Timothee’s got the hot scoop!

Timothee, on the other hand, bemoaned the lack of a “deluxe Hugh Grant experience” during their joint venture. Alas, his motion-capture CGI escapades confined him to the shadows of the set. “But he was close by in a tent,” Timothee lamented, as if sharing a campfire ghost story.

Picture this: Hugh, the 18-inch-tall Oompa Loompa, tucked away in a tent with a helmet, surrounded by cameras. It’s a highly complicated business being vertically challenged in the world of cinema, you know.

In a shocking revelation, Hugh unveiled the secret behind his tent-dwelling lifestyle: “I couldn’t be on the set because I’m too big.” Yes, it turns out Hugh Grant is too massive for the big screen. Who would’ve thought?

Director Paul King jumped into the river of banter, noting that Timothee and Hugh formed a dynamic duo, despite the spatial challenges. “They have a kind of banter through the movie and they’re sort of slowly becoming a double act as the movie goes on,” shared Paul, the maestro behind this chocolaty chaos.

“And that’s something I think is very hard to do if you’re never in the same room together,” he added, probably while juggling golden tickets and everlasting gobstoppers.

So mark your calendars and dust off your top hats, because Wonka, the cinematic extravaganza featuring the odd couple of Timothee and Giant Hugh, hits theaters on December 15. Prepare for a Wonka-tastic ride filled with laughter, gossip, and the sweet scent of success (or at least chocolate).
