Rebecca Ferguson’s Daughter Mistook Timothée Chalamet to Be Her Father
Rebecca Ferguson, who is best known for her recurring role in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible franchise recently reprised her role as Lady Jessica, in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two. Ever since then, the actress has been busy promoting the film and appearing at red-carpet events. During one of her interviews with Buzz, the actress shared a hilarious story surrounding her daughter and co-star Timothée Chalamet.
Known for keeping her personal life pretty private since the inception of her career, Rebecca Ferguson recently revealed during the interview how her daughter once mistook Timothée Chalamet to be her father (Ferguson’s husband- Rory St. Clair Gainer). Noticing Chalamet on a Willy Wonka-themed Valentine’s Day card, Ferguson recalled how her daughter thought it was Gainer.
“So it’s Valentine’s Day. And my daughter is in a shop with my husband. I was told this today. She goes up to a card and she goes, ‘This is perfect for mummy’. It is a picture of Timothée, who she thought was her dad because it looks like my husband. And it says, ‘Will you, Wonka my Willy.’ But she doesn’t get it. She’s like, ‘Oh, it’s Willy Wonka. Will you Wonka my willy, dad.’”
Without realizing the meaning behind the dirty Willy Wonka-themed Valentine’s Day card, Rebecca Ferguson’s daughter wanted to buy it for the actress. More than anything, her daughter even mistook Timothée Chalamet’s character as Willy Wonka to be her father, Rory St. Clair Gainer.
