According to a recent press release, Timothée Chalamet will portray a sexy version of orphaned pig Babe in an upcoming remake of the childhood classic.
“After Timothée’s smashing success as a thirst-trap Willy Wonka, I knew he was perfect for the role of Babe,” said the film’s director Thurston Mills, retweeting images of Chalamet highlighting his striking bone structure and convincing prosthetic snout. “My production will bring the timeless tale of a spunky young swine who just wants to be a sheepdog into the twenty-first century with a healthy dose of sex appeal.”
“Timothée’s chestnut locks and brooding gaze really embody Babe’s rebellious spirit,” said Mills, anticipating that the film will be a hit among young women with a history of dating sensitive-yet-douchey philosophy majors. “Babe won’t let anyone tell him that a pig can’t herd sheep. He’s the quintessential bad boy.”
At press time, the remake’s writers were workshopping a shirtless mud bath scene for Chalamet’s character.
