Gerta Gerwig’s Barbie was supposed to have Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan in a cameo, but it never happened, and now the Willy Wonka actress has spoken out about it.
Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan were slated to make cameo appearances in the Barbie film. Despite the stars’ inability to pull it off, the actor in Wonka imagined how he would have appeared.
“There was an idea for Saoirse Ronan and I to do a cameo in it,” Chalamet remarked on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show.
“I don’t know what the cameo would’ve been. I think it would’ve been one of the rejected Kens or Barbies — not Allan.”
“Maybe there was a reject French one along the way. I don’t know what that would’ve been,” the Dune star remarked.
Gerwig stated earlier this year that she intended to work with Chalamet and Ronan again after working with them on films such as Lady Bird and Little Women.
“Well, it was always going to have to be a sort of smaller thing because [Saoirse] was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo,” Gerwig recently told CinemaBlend.
“I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy, and both of them couldn’t do it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much.”
Though Chalamet did not appear in Barbie, he did pay Gerwig a visit on the set of the picture, which also stars Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie, according to Deadline. Barbie was shot on the same set where Wonka was subsequently filmed.
