Timothée Chalamet is closing out the year on a sweet—and slightly furry—note. The 29-year-old Wonka star melted hearts online after sharing an adorable photo set with his dog, giving fans a rare glimpse into his off-screen life.
On December 2, Chalamet posted a cozy series of selfies captioned “Pup. Wonka Christmas.” The snapshots show the actor lounging on a bed with his four-legged companion, who TMZ identified as a pit bull terrier mix. Fans quickly flooded the comments, gushing over the Oscar contender’s softer side.
In a fun twist, Chalamet’s canine affection isn’t limited to real life—his hit film Wonka reportedly features an on-screen dog companion, adding even more warmth to the already whimsical world of the young chocolatier.
The musical prequel, inspired by Roald Dahl’s beloved character, follows a young Willy Wonka chasing his dream of building a world of pure imagination. Critics have praised Chalamet’s charm and charisma in the role, hailing it as one of his most endearing performances yet.
Industry insiders are already whispering about awards season, with Chalamet tipped as an early favorite for Best Actor at next year’s Oscars. His dedication to the role included months of vocal and dance training—effort that’s clearly paying off as Wonka continues to dazzle at the box office.
For now, though, fans seem most enchanted by this softer side of the actor: a global superstar unwinding with his pup and a cup of Christmas magic.
