Why Chalamet?


He’s just a kid with zero gravitas, completely devoid of the edge and hard-won wisdom necessary to portray Wonka properly. Might as well have just cast Daisy Ridley.

Why DiCaprio for Titanic? Oh, wait, surely because he was THE masculine archetype in it... 🥱

DiCaprio is in Titanic?

Try watching it.

I ask that about any movie where he isn’t playing a twink, something he was born to play.

reply

LMAO...YOU WOULD KNOW.

reply

I know what he looks like and how he acts.

reply

He has quite the fanbase. Largely made up of teenage girls and some weird middle aged women who love them a young pretty boy.

His charms are lost on us heterosexual men I guess.

reply

Basically. I find him painful to look at but I have to accept that my brain just works differently. I can't fathom the idea of someone finding him pleasing to look at, or even attractive. But clearly many people do.

reply

He looks like he has Cheeto breath. I bet he doesn’t floss more than twice a week.

reply

I agree, but I also recognise that when it comes to the girls and the gays, any basic baby-faced dude has a chance at fame. Same case with singer Shawn Mendes. Music is barely passable, but every second gay guy and 11yo girl lusting after him boosted his career exponentially.

reply

Shawn is over though. He had 4 flop releases in a row and even cancelled his tour.

reply

Made his money first, though.

What? You never heard of the casting couch? Figure it out.
