Actor Timothee Chalamet is still in a bit of a shock because if someone told him that one day, he바카라ll be essaying the role of the eccentric and sketchy chocolatier Willy Wonka in 바카라Wonka바카라, he바카라d never have believed it.

At the film바카라s Tokyo premiere, donning a panda jumpsuit he was joined by co-star Hugh Grant.

The 바카라Dune바카라 actor had few words to say, though they were heavy and heartfelt. 바카라Paul King wrote a beautiful script here, about a young Willy Wonka who follows his dreams,바카라 Chalamet said, as per 'Variety'.

바카라If you would바카라ve told me when I was 12 years old, when I was 10 years old watching the Johnny Depp version of Willy Wonka that I바카라d get to be here in Tokyo promoting this movie as Willy Wonka, standing next to Hugh Grant, I would바카라ve told you you were lying. So, I guess like the movie, follow your dreams", he shared.

Taking the role of Willy Wonka is no easy feat as the previous performances of the iconic character from Roald Dahl바카라s classic book have been iconic.

Chalamet is currently the third actor to portray Willy Wonka, after Gene Wilder in the 1971 classic 바카라Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory바카라, and then by Johnny Depp in the 2005 film 바카라Charlie and the Chocolate Factory바카라.

Directed by Paul King, apart from Chalamet and Grant, the film stars Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Tom Davis and Olivia Colman. The movie will hit theatres on December 15.
