PEOPLE.com had a story last week about how Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were showing up for each other at events and as I noted in my post about their report, it felt like a heads up. They labelled it as an exclusive and they posted another exclusive yesterday, apparently the first to jump on the fact that Kylie and Kris Jenner were at the Hollywood premiere of Wonka where they did not walk the carpet but slipped in low key… even though they were still papped.
Were they worried that the paps might somehow not find them? When have the paps ever not been able to find the people in this family?!
It’s insurance though – making extra, extra, extra sure that we all know that Kylie was there, in her official role as Timmy’s girlfriend. So I guess we should be appreciative? Are you appreciative?!
I am appreciative of Timmy’s suit – black alligator jacket and pants over a mock turtleneck and boots, it’s giving Jagger-Wonka-Dylan, which is the next role that Timmy will be inhabiting, and the look establishes a through-thread between the characters. Timmy’s Wonka is an eccentric dreamer – odd and mysterious but also earnest. I’m not saying that he’ll be playing Dylan like Wonka, LOL, but as an artist, I wonder if he’s searching for the common ground.
Wonka opens this Friday in North America and the reviews, so far, have been pretty good. It’s sitting at 84% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, but the only review that matters to me is Sarah’s and hers will be posted later this week. She’s the one who keeps forgetting the movie exists, hahaha, and she’s never been one for musicals to begin with. I can’t wait to read it.
