Does Timothée Chalamet voice himself in the French version of Wonka?
The Franco-American actor speaks the language of Molière fluently. And yet…
If he was born in New York, Timothée Chalamet is very French thanks to his father, a journalist and correspondent for Le Parisien in New York. A football fan and supporter of AS Saint-Étienne, the 27-year-old actor speaks French fluently, as he often demonstrates in interviews. However, for the moment it is only filming in English and is not dubbing itself for the French version.
This is still the case with Wonka. In Paul King’s musical, it’s Gauthier Battoue who does the French voice of Timothée Chalamet when he speaks, as has been the case for several years. He had already doubled Timothée Chalamet on Dune, A Rainy Day in New York Or Don’t Look Up.
On the other hand, when Wonka begins to sing a song, it’s Robin Morgenthaler who sticks to it. Professional dancer and singer from Calais, in Pas-de-Calais, this actor worked in musicals Emilie Jolieprovides the eight songs in the film.
“I have crossed paths with the famous chocolatier on numerous occasions but I never thought one day I would interpret the character in this way while singing the compositions of Neil Hannon (…) The child who had fun playing dubbing X-MEN scenes from your parents’ couch is proud and so grateful today”he rejoices on Instagram.
