Timothée Chalamet was quoted in a recent interview with People magazine saying that his upcoming musical “Wonka” is his mother’s favorite Timothée Chalamet movie. It turns out that’s not the case. Appearing on “Good Morning America,” the Oscar-nominated actor revealed his mom, Nicole Flender, actually called him after the People interview ran in order to correct him.
“I thought this was her favorite movie. She called me yesterday, she corrected me. She said ‘Beautiful Boy’ was her favorite,” Chalamet said. “When she saw [‘Wonka’], she did say, ‘It’s nice to see you smile.'”
Chalamet originally told People that “Wonka” is “maybe her favorite thing I’ve ever been in,” adding at the time: “I think she saw ‘Bones and All’ and said, ‘You gotta be happier in your movies!’ But this is the tradition. I come from a musical theater family, and this is more in...

Timothée Chalamet almost didn’t bite into the Willy Wonka prequel film, “Wonka.”
The Oscar-nominated actor shows off his triple-threat talent in the musical movie, helmed by “Paddington” director Paul King, as he plays a young version of Roald Dahl’s beloved chocolatier. However, Chalamet admitted to Games Radar that he was skeptical of taking on the role.
“Like many people, when there are remakes, I feel very protective over the original character and versions you love,” Chalamet said. “Your eyebrows go up with skepticism about [whether] this is a legitimate, worthwhile story or a cynical money grab.”
He continued, “But I was reading the first three pages of the script, and the song ‘Hat Full of Dreams’ was in there, and there was no music to accompany it, but the lyrics were so clever. [It’s] about this young Willy, who was definitively not the crazy, cynical, kind of jaded, brain-fried version...

Nicole Flender talks attending New York’s fame school; living in Manhattan Plaza and supporting her children’s careers
In November, when Pauline Chalamet debuted in The Sex Lives of College Girls as Kimberly, many viewers were surprised to learn that Timothée Chalamet had an older sister, let alone one who acts. Although Pauline had made her feature film debut alongside Pete Davidson in Judd Apatow’s comedy The King of Staten Island a year before, it was her leading role in the HBO Max comedy-drama series that served as her big break. Pauline’s humorous performance as a dorky, sheltered, school-loving college student was sweet and tender and with the show having just been renewed for a new season, it also solidified the Chalamet siblings’ standing as a force to be reckoned with.
Such is the cultural positioning of the Chalamets, that when I meet their mother, Nicole Flender,...

Timothée Chalamet is keeping himself informed about the evening’s events.
While at first glance it may seem the 23-year-old actor is skimming his next screenplay, Chalamet’s focus at the 2019 SAG Awards Sunday evening was drawn downward at his program as his fellow stars, including Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, had their attention locked on the stage.
Chalamet — who was nominated for his supporting role in Beautiful Boy — has drawn quite the attention as a result of the now-viral photo, with fans throwing out guesses all over the place about what he could be reading.

Timothée Chalamet isn't afraid to take risks on the red carpet. Take, for example, the 23-year-old actor's look at the 2019 Golden Globes. Chalamet showed up with his mother, Nicole Flender, wearing a sequined Louis Vuitton look and Cartier jewelry. It was a bold choice for the Beautiful Boy star, landing him on both best and worst dressed lists. "I love the way you dress. You just have such great style," Ellen DeGeneres told him on her show Friday. "You wore the coolest thing to the Globes, [but] people didn't really understand." "That's Louis Vuitton—Virgil Abloh," Chalamet explained. "That's the designer who made it." "It was...
