Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan were planned to have a cameo in the Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig. Although the stars were not able to make it work, the Wonka actor imagined what his appearance could’ve been like.

“There was an idea for Saoirse Ronan and I to do a cameo in it,” Chalamet said during an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. “I don’t know what the cameo would’ve been. I think it would’ve been one of the rejected Kens or Barbies — not Allan.”

He continued, “Maybe there was a reject French one along the way. I don’t know what that would’ve been.”

Earlier this year, Gerwig talked about hoping to team up with Chalamet and Ronan again after working with them on films like Lady Bird and Little Women.

“Well, it was always going to have to be a sort of smaller thing because [Saoirse] was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo,” Gerwig told CinemaBlend in a recent interview. “I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy, and both of them couldn’t do it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much.”

Although Chalamet didn’t film a cameo for Barbie, he did visit Gerwig on the set of the movie that starred Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Wonka was shot on the same production lot where Barbie was filmed.
