- Timothée Chalamet missed chance to be in the record-breaking 'Barbie'
- He and Saoirse Ronan were supposed to cameo in the film
- Chalamet did visit the 'Barbie' set
This is the cameo that could have sent fans into a frenzy! Timothée Chalamet (27) and Saoirse Ronan (28) were slated for a sizzling cameo in Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie', but fate had other plans!
Hot news:
What a sight!
So that's what happened
Imagine this: 'Barbie', the Warner Bros. sensation, not only shatters box office records with a jaw-dropping $1.4 billion but also features Chalamet and Ronan as the ultimate 'rejected' dolls. Alas, it wasn't meant to be! Chalamet spilled the beans on 'The Tonight Show,' leaving us wondering what could have been. "I think it would've been one of the rejected Kens or Barbies," he mused. Oh, the possibilities!
Greta Gerwig (38, director) had her heart set on these "speciality cameos," lamenting, "It felt like doing something without my children." The dynamic duo's absence was a thorn in her side, but love for her 'Lady Bird' and 'Little Women' stars remains undiminished.
Scheduling snafus
It wasn't just Chalamet and Ronan who faced the scheduling snarl-up. Bowen Yang, Dan Levy, and Ben Platt were all in the Ken contention, but timing is everything in Tinseltown. Even Jonathan Groff had a near-miss with Ken's buddy Allan before Michael Cera snagged the role.
