Wonka is a musical prequel with Dune star Timothée Chalamet in the lead role playing the chocolatier himself. As we’ve seen the character of Willy Wonka being played by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp in the past, we’ve seen different style variations of the whimsical inventor. One internet user pointed out that the Hot Summer Nights actor as Willy Wonka has an uncanny resemblance not to a previous Wonka, but to a Muppets Christmas Carol character that I now can’t unsee.
You may remember when the Muppets created one of the best A Christmas Carol adaptations in 1992? The internet user who pointed out on Twitter that Timothée Chalamet’s Willy Wonka looks just like the Great Gonzo when he played Charles Dickens certainly remembers! Now, you won’t be able to unsee this resemblance either as you take a look below.
