I don't think that's the case, but I do think it's hilarious.
I didn't watch this vid but I did read the comments...
I didn't expect people to actually be speaking the truth and ripping the whole concept of this Wonka reboot to shreds.
It was refreshing to see people sticking to the original Wonka (Gene Wilder) concept and really "getting" it.
Trying to make a story around young Wonka was a mistake and Chalamet shouldn't have participated.
I can't see him playing a convincing young Bob Dylan either... he is being given roles based on physical appearance and his young audience whose parents will spend their money to let them see his movies.
He's not being given roles on merit of talent or ability. There may be some roles he's good in, but they should be random characters, not longstanding beloved characters like Bob Dylan or Willy Wonka. Tim's just not the guy.
