Los Angeles, Dec 14 (NationPress) Hollywood sensation Timothee Chalamet is embracing the joys of retail therapy. The talented actor is said to have indulged in over $4000 worth of chocolates during a luxurious getaway to London.

Reportedly, the 29-year-old star, known for his role as the quirky founder of the Wonka Chocolate Factory in the upcoming 2023 family-fantasy film, made a stop at the upscale Harrods department store where he purchased $4000 in beautifully packaged chocolates from renowned food brand, Venchi, according to a report by ‘Female First UK’.

A source shared with The Sun on Sunday newspaper, “Timothee adores the chocolate. He wanted to buy as much as he could. He intends to gift it to friends and family back in the US for Christmas. He didn’t hesitate to spend as he’s enjoyed a successful year.”

Additionally, it was noted that Timothee took his extravagant purchase back to his $4500 per night penthouse suite at the lavish five-star hotel, The Emory London, where four staff members assisted in loading the impressive array of boxed chocolates onto a baggage trolley.

Currently dating Kylie Jenner, 28, of ‘The Kardashians’ fame, Timothee was in London to appear on the BBC's ‘The Graham Norton Show’ to promote his new film, Marty Supreme. In this 1950s-themed ping-pong drama, he takes on the role of Marty Mauser, with the film being loosely inspired by the life of table tennis legend Marty Reisman.

Although the film is set to release in late December, Timothee has already garnered recognition for his performance. He is scheduled to receive the Spotlight Actor of the Year Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 3, honoring his work in Marty Supreme.

Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi commended Chalamet’s portrayal in the film, labeling it a career-defining performance that encapsulates both the fierce ambition and the tender vulnerability of human desire, deeming it one of the year’s standout performances.
