Keegan Michael Key praises Timothée Chalamet's 'Wonka' performance.
Keegan-Michael Key has been discussing the upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adaptation, Wonka, which he is appearing in alongside Timothée Chalamet. Chalamet, the star of such diverse films as Dune, Call Me By Your Name and Bones and All, is taking on the titular role of the eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka, in a brand new origin story.
“He has seven musical numbers and I have two, one of them is a group number and another is a smaller group number," said Key. "I would agree with all the adjectives Timothée used and I would also like to add the words wondrous and a little bit epic. It’s a nice, big, full, beautiful piece of art and Paul King, who directed it, is a delightful human being who has this wonderful, childlike heart. He was the perfect person to direct the project.
Chalamet had previously described the movie as 'sincere and so joyous', saying that he relished the musical numbers providing an 'escape' to him. He added: “I hate to say it, but the dream as an artist is to throw whatever the f**k you want at the wall, you know? And I guess what I’m realising is that one’s personal life, one’s adult life, can be quite boring and the artist’s life can still be extraordinary.
