'Wonka' stars Timothée Chalamet & Hugh Grant | AP extended interview

"Wonka" stars Timothée Chalamet and Hugh Grant sat down with Associated Press film writer Lindsey Bahr to talk about Paul King's song-and-dance-filled prequel, cold movie theaters and Grant's Oompa Loompa inspirations.

Hugh’s full on in this interview. Love how he makes Timothy laugh.

[@jchambers5668]

And of course Hugh always makes everyone laugh!!😂

[@Killer_Doll415]

Even when he breathes everyone cracks up.

[@demetraleschinskey7515]

Me too. Especially since Timothee is the one that usually making peopls laugh in his interview. Timothee is so busy laughing he can barely do the interview😅

[@elfsong713]

The way Hugh Grant answers all the questions and Timothee Chalamet sits there and giggles makes me realise that Chloe Fineman's SNL impersonation of the latter is spot on.

[@an-qo6by]

this is so funnnnny

[@Yeodoongiiie]

hugh is SO honest 😄 people don't know how to take it, cause everyone else is so used to putting on a polite mask 😄

[@Valealemar]

Brutally honest. I like him. It's refreshing!

[@ruk2023--]

He's mischievous more than honest. Unless we're going to accept that he had lunch with a giraffe?

[@heyitsjazz1397]

Hugh is just naturally funny lol like he needs to do on stage comedy.

[@Anna_65]

apparently he did in his very early days

[@kasienkakaminska6915]

Wonka

[@kasienkakaminska6915]

Beautiful movie, great actors, legend, great acting style🤗✨🎬🎼🤩💫

[@rampagingelephant7353]

“He actually likes people… What a perv!” 🤣

[@AmberKober]

I’m with Hugh Grant, theaters are often too loud and too cold

[@Killer_Doll415]

They want to freeze you to death before they make you deaf.

[@lomieyy]

Hugh dry humour is just😂😂😂

[@MightyMouse350]

Hugh's hysterical.. always liked him 😅

[@JohnSimpson2112]

They don’t have a lot of screen time together but there’s a thick bond and huge respect for each other on display here. Love it.

[@takinghugh]

HUGH AND TIMMY THE DUO WE DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED!

[@benbergin538]

I love how Hugh has Timmy laughing through the interview

[@dilanozaurdilanozaur3873]

Hugh grant is hilarious 😂😂😂 absolutely love him

[@marjanp4784]

"He actually likes people, what a perv" 😂🤣😄😆

[@lina-in4jw]

Timothée giggling throughout the whole thing is kinda cute

[@sheenaricarte5229]

I love Wonka (2023). I watched it yesterday and I must say it's a heartwarming Christmas family movie 🎄❄️🎅☃️ Timothee's singing voice is also cool and soothing.

[@UnDiscoveredDidi]

Looks like I will be going to the cinema purely for Hugh Grant's performance as Oompa Loompa 😁

[@zachoneill6570]

Bless Timothee doesn’t know what to think of Hugh’s dry British wit! Love em both

[@carlacarapetyan]

I love Hugh’s comic sincerity 🤣❤️

[@evsny6834]

I just finished watching Wonka in theaters!!! 10/10!! Best movie of 2023

[@Attmay]

*The Super Mario Bros. Movie* is the best movie of 2023.

[@HETHA_]

This is so unhinged and I love it ! I’m crying 😂😂😂

[@jchambers5668]

I agree the sound in theaters is too loud usually... This sounds like an amazing movie!! Can't wait to see it!!! Yes!! Paddington in a costume! 🤣🤣

[@cynthiasmith4130]

Hugh is my favorite actor!!! He is a riot!!!! Timothy is very cute and extremely kind!! I can't wait to see it!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️.........

[@auntvesuvi3872]

They're both so funny and charming... looking very forward to the movie! 🍭

[@maurawhelan3530]

I cant wait to see Timothy in this. Such a natural…

[@felinefurkin4275]

Timothee’s absolutely right at the end, it’s done so well. And so is Hugh, turn down the blasting speakers. My dad was hard of hearing and couldn’t make things out well and I remember a dad saying the same to cinema staff cos his kids struggled too, the powers that be don’t seem to get it or care. Anyway, lovely interview, Hugh the old grump is so funny. I forget how many of his films I’ve loved, the romcoms, Paddington and now this. Timothee is charming and sweet, he did Wonka fantastically.

[@teganwho8653]

I love how Timothee Chalamet’s sweater goes with the background

[@pepagenova7708]

Hugh Grant is extremely talented. Charming. And l like. Like this move 👌 😊.

[@ElenainMovieland]

I love hugh grant humor 😂😂😂😂

[@mirkakuczun2294]

The film is great.The actors are great too.

[@Jay92925]

Just Timmy sitting there giggling away through the whole thing is cute

[@MinbadTheFourth]

Hugh Grant is cracking me up as well :)

[@nathelondon3719]

Hugh Grant and his successor. Nice.

[@omagosh5137]

Saw Wonka last night....both actors great....Hugh deserves an academy award for his performance....love Hugh. Timothy is adorable.

[@redroots3103]

Last time I was at the cinema I thought I was going cry with the sound volume to be fair

[@oliviakahlo1]

Just the most adorable young actor in the world. It’s his personality and talent, obvious intelligence -and of course- that perfect jawline and dreamy eyes❤. Hugh Grant is wonderful as well, it’s hard not be upstaged by TC. Hugh holds his own❤.

[@ZDima749]

The movie is brilliant indeed!

[@gabrielalopetegui]

I loved the movie. Each actor is brilliant. I watched the movie with a smile on my face CONSTANTLY ♥️👏♥️👏

[@angieb.1771]

Wonka is beautifully done! I have watched it 3 times, and it was amazing every time! ❤️

[@violetguavapeachee5573]

Hugh is so real like yes they seriously need to turn down the cinema volume as up until a few months ago I’ve always had to take ear buds with me as if I’m going to a concert to protect my ears but now I don’t have to as my local cinema I always go to has finally turned there’s down to an acceptable healthy volume thank gosh 😅

[@dp4008]

Saw the movie, very enjoyable, fresh, new great music and story. Tim and Hugh were funny and delightful. I loved the costumes!!

[@Lemieuxponyvlogs]

Thank you two I laughed watching you two together 😂 I love Hugh being lofty is perfect and Timothy as Wonka is perfect thank you Hugh and Timothy for making me laugh

[@clairesnelson9961]

Hugh is hilarious 😂😂 i was cracking up right along with Timothy 😂😂

[@user-pg9jd2ek7h]

웡카 영화보고 티모시샬라메 배우님을 알게되었어요~ 정말 너무 멋져요 ❤

[@rodericka8279]

Gene Wilder set the bar High and Johnny Depp gave you a different take on Charlie. Each Actor has his own unique style

[@toribrewer9377]

This is my new favorite movie you guys did amazing

[@issyjas3309]

Hugh must be an interviewers dream, always quotable and happy. Has a healthy disregard and indifference to politicians and gives a lot to charitable causes as well, certainly does in the UK.

[@sarastarski]

Great duo! I’ve been to the cinema this evening and loved it! Best version of Wonka so far, great cast! 💫

[@vikBF]

Love the movie, love these great actors, both gorgeous and incredibly funny and sweet in their verrrrry different ways😃

[@Joeysephine.x]

perfect example of how to respect your elders ! Hugh Grant ran this interview and Timothee was just along for the ride !

[@lisamarieatchley6009]

I had the most fun watching this movie.

[@Fultonfalcons86]

Awesome movie great acting and great script

[@zdenka8683]

Alternative title: 8 minutes of Hugh Grant answering the questions seriously while Timothée Chalamet nods and giggles.

[@JenSutton2023]

Loved Wonka. Interesting to hear these two men.

[@letitiacrisler4781]

Great movie! Both together were so funny 🤣. So glad to see Hugh Grant and so funny

[@melissaantonio3913]

[@gpsoedarso3815]

[@BezoRazo]

Does Hugh just completely steal every scene he's in in the film? Cuz that's the sense I'm getting ^_^

[@priscillamicallef2543]

[@cattogirl999]

I'll watch the movie only for Hugh Grant. Love him 😂❤

[@Adamlink123uk]

[@user-fi4jk7qf2k]

On ne doit pas s s'ennuyer avec HG !! Ils sont supers. On sent que TC a beaucoup de respect pour HG . LTC&HGFE❤❤❤❤

[@marinec4164]

You're not to old dear Hugh I do agree and I wear some little special music earphones to reduce a little bit the sound 😊

[@twinEAH]

I can't go to a movie theater because of how loud they play the movie.

[@user-dy7bl8dr5o]

Timothee the best

[@andrewdockrill]

Friggin Hugh Grant is hilarious😆

[@MariaCastro-eu2bb]

Yes it was sooo loud I agree

[@bunnuy]

timmy's laugh is adorable

[@JoanneBeal1]

The world is falling apart and the news is premiering actors that have already been premiered 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🤣 I can't help but share my feeling and laugh. It's the human way you know, sharing feelings and laughter. I won't be left out ✌🏾

[@Quinnzel101]

I get Hugh's point on the volume thing, but I only half-agree. My theory is that the sound in cinemas got noticeably louder as audiences themselves got louder and less respectful of each other over time. The lack of self-awareness some folks have for shared experiences is staggering. When cineplexes got those sweeping modern upgrades only some years ago, I remember being so happy that I couldn't hear the thoughtless people around me anymore and I suddenly found myself going to see way more movies. Perhaps the loudness would bother me too if it weren't for this single aspect. Maybe there's a compromise somewhere though. Since seats in most of these places are full of electronics now, I wonder how difficult it would be to, say, install headphone jacks in the armrests? Don't even have to provide headphones, I would *gleefully* bring my own noise-cancelling pair.

[@moniques3978]

I've NEVER experienced a loud theater. It's something I've only seen on TV. Everyone is always respectful.

[@Quinnzel101]

@@moniques3978 That's absolutely astonishing to me. Cherish your luck or wherever it is that you live where people have actual manners. It would take building an Alamo Drafthouse to see any kind of basic theater etiquette where I live.

[@Killer_Doll415]

My local theater has respectful people when they watch movies. But the theater is still loud.

[@soodal15]

How Hugh makes Timothee laugh from beginning to the end. His way of talking sounds little grumpy but also humble as a veteran actor

[@christophergeorge3472]

Hugh is so funny! I love it. And I loved this movie. It’s one of my favorites now

[@jpbroadwater]

"Cinemas are too loud - they've got to turn the sound down!" Thank you, Hugh! I was starting to think it was only me. It's usually deafening. Chilly too. Is there some reason why it's like this?

[@Michele-zn5yi]

Hugh Grant is hilarious.

[@fox7743]

Best movie in a long time.

[@tecamey]

Yes Hugh is so right, theaters are so cold that I can’t enjoy myself

[@Art_and_Pedagogy]

Two handsome guys 😮🎉

[@loristitt65]

Sounds like it’s going to be a GREAT MOVIE and FUNNY!

I am actually utterly trying to make sort of some money so that i independently go and visit a premier of one of future movies of Timmy hope that wish gets fulfilled 😊

[@stevenmarkhansen]

i had no idea hugh grant was so funny❣

[@BigSplenda1885]

If more people acted like Hugh Grant we’d be living in a much funnier world

[@lyndaranson1728]

Agree about the sound. Way way roo loud. Remember to take earplugs

[@josee4283]

love

[@lt2392]

anyone know where the sweater is from 🥹

[@user-fy9wc5lw2w]

I think I know how Grant shoul'd've explained it: Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-doo. I've got some special news for you. Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-dee. If you are wase you'll listen to me. I was excited to be in this movie. And to realy meet Timothee. This is the highlight of my careere. And I'm excited to be here. (And also that Tim's here too). Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-day. And I have on last thing to say. I'm realy pleased with this interveiw. Now I'll leave with an Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-doo.
