Behind the Scenes: How a Mummy and Daddy who love each other very much made Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet is one of the biggest stars on the planet. His performances as Keith Dune in Dune and the eponymous Wonka in some film or other have thrilled audiences around the world. But, how is a star like Timothée Chalamet actually made? The answer may well surprise you.

“Okay, I think that most people just assume that stars like Timothée Chalamet just pop out of nowhere and are suddenly big stars, but let me tell you, that’s not the case. A lot of hard work goes into making someone like Timothée Chalamet,” explained Stewart James, Professor of Movie Stars at Oxford University.

“Firstly, there would have been a man and a lady. They’d have loved each other very much and would have taken the responsible, grown-up decision to express that love in a physical manner.

“I’m not going to go into exactly how that works here. The internet is available for a more in depth look at the act of love.

“Needless to say, after several minutes, the lovemaking will have concluded. For the man, his work is complete, but now it’s up to the lady to work hard at making Timothée Chalamet.

“Over nine months, the lady or ‘mummy’ as we scientists refer to her, would use her tummy to turn a collection of sperms, eggs and weird gooey stuff into a tiny version of Timothée Chalamet.

“Over the next twenty or so years, that tiny Timothée Chalamet will slowly grow into a full-size Timothée Chalamet, with Mummy and Daddy providing access to a bed, TV, and fish fingers to help with that development.

“Only then, after twenty years, the act of love, and lots of fish fingers, is Timothée Chalamet ready to make Dune Part II.”
