Timothée Chalamet recently shared a humorous behind-the-scenes anecdote about his time filming Little Women with co-star Saoirse Ronan, highlighting her sharp wit and no-nonsense professionalism. The story came to light during a British Film Institute event held on December 18, organized in collaboration with Vanity Fair.
The actors, known for their on-screen chemistry in both Lady Bird and Little Women, reunited to discuss their experiences working together. During the interaction, Chalamet humorously recounted being scolded by Ronan while juggling the demands of filming Little Women and promoting his earlier movie, Beautiful Boy.
A Memorable Incident
Recalling the event, Chalamet prefaced his story by joking, “This is the one story I didn’t want to tell.” Despite Ronan’s initial concern that the anecdote might be inappropriate, he reassured her it was not.
While working on Little Women, Chalamet was simultaneously managing the promotional tour for Beautiful Boy, where he portrayed a teenager battling meth addiction. Amid a packed schedule, he recalled spending extended time in his trailer discussing press tour logistics. His plan included visiting regions in the U.S. impacted by the themes of his film, but his contemplation was interrupted by a loud knock on his trailer door.
“I open the door, and it’s Saoirse in a bald cap,” Chalamet shared, sparking laughter from the audience. In a mock-stern tone, Ronan told him, “Get your ass in the f—ing trailer right now! They’re waiting for you in hair and make-up.” Despite her playful approach, the moment underscored Ronan’s commitment to staying on schedule.
Ronan’s Response
When asked if she remembered the incident, Ronan confirmed that she did but appeared unfazed by it, suggesting that such moments are par for the course in their line of work. Both actors emphasized their mutual respect and fondness for one another, highlighting the camaraderie they share off-screen.
Current Projects
Both stars are currently immersed in high-profile projects. Ronan is promoting her upcoming film The Outrun and her role in the Apple TV+ series Blitz, while Chalamet is gearing up for the release of A Complete Unknown, a biopic about the life of Bob Dylan.
Legacy of Little Women
Directed by Greta Gerwig, Little Women was a critical and commercial success, grossing $218.9 million worldwide. The film earned six Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress for Ronan and Best Supporting Actress for Florence Pugh. Its stellar cast also featured Emma Watson, Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, and Eliza Scanlen, among others. The film continues to captivate audiences and is available for streaming on Netflix.
