Timothe Chalamet Goes Full Willy Wonka In Hilarious Post-Strike 'SNL' Monologue

Timothée Chalamet put his musical abilities on full display as he celebrated the actors strike ending with a “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” parody during his “Saturday Night Live ” monologue.

The “SNL ” host, who stars in the upcoming film “Wonka ,” noted that actors were barred from promoting their films during the SAG-AFTRA strike before he made light of the one project he could openly speak about: a Martin Scorsese-directed perfume commercial.

“And let me tell you when you get that call that Martin Scorsese wants to direct you, the first thing you think is, ‘Man, I really hope it’s a perfume commercial,’” the actor quipped.

He declared that the strike’s conclusion has felt like a return to a “magical world where actors can once again talk about their projects” before breaking into a parody of Gene Wilder’s “Pure Imagination.”

“Come with me and you’ll be in a world of shameless self-promotion. It’s OK, I can say, that my new film ‘Wonka’ is out in theaters Dec. 15,’” he said before speedily referring to Hugh Grant’s “Oompa Loompa dump truck ” in the film.

He later declared that the deal to end the strike bars TV shows from using artificial intelligence “to make it look like a crowd is bigger than it actually is.”

“Isn’t that right, people in the bleachers?” he asked before the broadcast flipped to a clip of a CGI audience clapping for Chalamet.
