Timothée Chalamet receives 'caution' about his remark on the 'alluring Hull accent', says Wonka movie insiders

Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet has playfully been warned about the potential consequences of his comments regarding Hull having a "sexy" accent. The actor, who stars in the new Willy Wonka film, expressed his admiration for the northern twang during an interview with LadBible. He also mentioned his fondness for the Essex accent and what he referred to as a "middle-aged northern accent." However, TV star Lucy Beaumont, originally from Hull, expressed confusion as to why Chalamet would find the accent appealing. In response, Chalamet inquired why everyone was laughing after making his comments. Beaumont jokingly remarked on BBC Radio 5Live that she believes he must be on drugs and added that she has had the same accent for 40 years without ever being told it was sexy. Furthermore, she humorously warned Chalamet to steer clear of the region or risk being attacked by middle-aged women from Hull. Chalamet's remarks garnered surprise on social media, with some finding amusement in his comment and others teasingly questioning his knowledge of Hull's existence. Chalamet portrays the character previously played by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp in earlier adaptations of the children's novel in the recently released film.
