Timothée Chalamet Reunites With Saoirse Ronan to Reflect on Being Late to ‘Little Women’ Set and Making ‘Lady Bird’: ‘Everyone Was at a Genesis’ of Their Careers
While promoting their films "A Complete Unknown," "Dune: Part 2." "The Outrun" and "Blitz" the two stars reunited to discuss their early work together
In a special event hosted by the British Film Institute and Vanity Fair at the BFI Southbank on Wednesday evening, Chalamet and Ronan reflected on making 2017’s “Lady Bird” and 2019’s “Little Women,” both from a pre-“Barbie” writer/director Greta Gerwig. “She hadn’t sort of landed on me yet, and were in the middle of promoting ‘Lady Bird’ and I was like, ‘By the way, I’m going to be Jo, right?’ And she was like, ‘I guess, sure.” For Chalamet, meanwhile, he said Gerwig simply asked him to play Laurie, but while he was shooting “The King” in Budapest (and also while he was “chasing” “Dune,” having already “met with Denis [Villeneuve] a couple of times”).
