Greta Gerwig Revealed Timothee Chalamet’s Cameo Was Canceled In Barbie
Greta Gerwig has made a surprising revelation, sharing that the much-anticipated cameo of Timothee Chalamet in the upcoming Barbie movie has been canceled.
Although it might appear like the filmmaker’s Barbie is finished, a critical element was still missing, as found by fans. Gerwig has revealed that she originally intended for her frequent co-stars Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan to appear in cameo roles as the countdown to the movie’s premiere continues.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, this plan could not come to fruition, much to the disappointment of fans. Gerwig explained,
“Well, it was always going to have to be like a sort of smaller thing because she was producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo.”
Further, the Lady Bird director added,
“I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy, and both of them couldn’t do it, and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much. But it felt like doing something without my children. I mean, I’m not their mom, but I sort of feel like their mom.”
Gerwig’s revelation has sparked speculation about the impact of this change on the film’s storyline and character dynamics.
The reasons behind the absence of these celebrities from the Barbie movie have captivated fans, leaving them longing for what could have been.
What was Stopping Timothee Chalamet And Saoirse Ronan From Appearing In Greta Gerwig’s Barbie?
Fans of Gerwig have been left pondering the reasons behind the absence of Chalamet and Ronan in the upcoming Barbie movie.
The screenwriter, who has previously collaborated with both actors, had expressed her desire to include them in cameo roles.
However, the 29-year-old previously shed light on the situation, revealing that scheduling conflicts prevented her from participating. In an interview, she disclosed,
“I was supposed to do a cameo because I live in London and they were [filming] there. However, due to her schedule filming The Outrun, an upcoming drama about a recovering alcoholic that she’s been filming in Scotland, the plan didn’t pan out.”
Despite the disappointment, Gerwig has expressed her admiration for both celebrities and their other professional endeavors.
As the release of the Barbie movie draws near, audiences eagerly anticipate the film’s unique cast and the creative choices made by Gerwig, even in the absence of these talented actors.
The Barbie movie will release on July 21, 2023.
