Rebecca Ferguson is probably best known for being a recurring member of the Impossible crew in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible franchise. And since the last few days, the Swedish actress has been making headlines for her role as Lady Jessica in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies.
While fans have been enjoying the press and her chemistry with the amazing cast of the science fiction movie, Ferguson too has been busy promoting the film. During one of her interviews, the actress got candid about her daughter and shared a funny anecdote of when her daughter mistook her co-star Timothée Chalamet as her dad.
When Rebecca Ferguson’s Daughter Mistook Timothée Chalamet As Her Father
Rebecca Ferguson has been married to her husband Rory St. Clair Gainer since 2018, after secretly getting married during the holidays (via ExtraTV). The actress has maintained and kept her personal life pretty private ever since the start of her career and has two kids, a son from her previous relationship and a daughter with Gainer.
Over the last few days, the actress has been busy promoting her latest flick, Dune: Part Two. While appearing for an interview with U105 Radio (via X), the actress had a funny story to share about her daughter and her Dune co-star and on-screen son, Timothée Chalamet.
“So it’s Valentine’s Day. And my daughter is in a shop with my husband. She goes up to a card and she goes, ‘This is perfect for mummy’. It is a picture of Timothee, 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. It’s like, it’s like ‘Oh, it’s Wily Wonka, my willy dad’.”
While fans loved the story, it is almost absurd yet adorably comical and hilarious how Ferguson’s daughter mistook the Little Women star for her father.
