Zack Sharf Digital News Director Timothée Chalamet was quoted in a recent interview with People magazine saying that his upcoming musical “Wonka” is his mother’s favorite Timothée Chalamet movie.

It turns out that’s not the case. Appearing on “Good Morning America,” the Oscar-nominated actor revealed his mom, Nicole Flender, actually called him after the People interview ran in order to correct him. “I thought this was her favorite movie.

She called me yesterday, she corrected me. She said ‘Beautiful Boy’ was her favorite,” Chalamet said. “When she saw [‘Wonka’], she did say, ‘It’s nice to see you smile.'” Chalamet originally told People that “Wonka” is “maybe her favorite thing I’ve ever been in,” adding at the time: “I think she saw ‘Bones and All’ and said, ‘You gotta be happier in your movies!’ But this is the tradition.

I come from a musical theater family, and this is more in line of the kind of movie I would’ve thought I’d be doing 10 years ago, if I was lucky enough to work at all.
