Hollywood sensation Timothée Chalamet enjoyed remarkably lavish treatment during the production of the film Wonka, with co-star Tom Davis revealing extravagant details about the actor's on-set breakfast routine. According to Davis, Chalamet had a personal chef who prepared three different breakfast options each morning, from which the star would select only one to consume.
Co-Star's Frustration Over 'Ropey' Cast Meals
Comedian Tom Davis, who also appeared in the film, shared his grievances with the Daily Mail, highlighting the stark contrast in dining experiences. 'One thing that ground my gears – he had a personal chef,' Davis stated. 'And we were having quite ropey breakfasts.' Davis recounted building a rapport with Chlamet's chef, inquiring about the morning's offerings, only to learn about the multiple preparations.
'I got to know his personal chef quite a bit and I said, 'What are you cooking this morning?'' Davis explained. 'He said, 'I do three different things for Tim, and he'll have one thing.'' Chalamet reportedly offered the remaining meals to others, with Davis noting, 'And Timothée turned around and went, 'Hey man, why don't you have the other two things?''
Chalamet's Fondness for the Role and UK Stay
In a subsequent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Timothée Chalamet expressed deep affection for his portrayal of a younger Willy Wonka, describing it as his most cherished role to date. 'I am proud of all the films I have done, but this is my favourite,' he declared. 'It is the most fun I’ve had working on anything ever. It is sweet and good and will fill you with joy.'
The actor also reflected on his extended filming period in London, which spanned five months in 2021, leading him to feel like 'an honorary Brit' due to the joyous experience. When questioned about his streak of successful projects at a young age, Chalamet attributed it to collaborating with esteemed directors, stating simply, 'I just try to work with great directors.'
Post-Wonka Career and Personal Life Developments
Following the release of Wonka, Timothée Chalamet has continued his cinematic ascent with roles in Marty Supreme and Dune: Part Two. His personal life has also garnered significant attention, particularly his relationship with Kylie Jenner, which has spanned over three years. According to a Daily Mail source, the couple cohabitates and has considered marriage.
Insiders disclosed in early 2025 that Chalamet and Jenner established specific stipulations for their relationship, maintaining a notably private stance. Despite attending public events together after more than two years, they have refrained from posting about each other online. Chalamet reinforced this boundary in a November Vogue cover story, asserting, 'I will not talk about it,' while clarifying, 'I don’t say that with any fear, I just don’t have anything to say.'
However, at the 2026 Critics' Choice Awards in January, Chalamet made a rare public acknowledgment of Jenner during his acceptance speech. 'Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you,' he effused, marking his most open profession about their relationship to date.
