It almost became Timothée Chalamet (28)! The film “Saltburn” is causing quite a stir right now. In the thriller, Jacob Elordi (26) plays the attractive Felix, whose downfall is his friend Oliver, played by Barry Keoghan (31). Fans are particularly enthusiastic about the disturbing sex scenes and obscene actions. In fact, Timothée was supposed to take on the role of crazy Oliver!
In a British Vogue video, the two “Saltburn” leads Jacob and Barry chat about their roles. The Kissing Booth star reveals that director Emerald Fennell (38) originally had Timothée in mind! “She said she wanted Timothée Chalamet for it, and I was like, ‘Have you thought about Barry Keoghan?'” Jacob spills, albeit with a laugh. Barry then snorts too. It is unclear whether this was a joke between the two.
One scene, among other things, remained in the viewers’ minds: Jacob’s character Felix masturbates in a bathtub, and Oliver then drinks the water from it. But that didn’t necessarily make Jacob uncomfortable: “I was really excited when I read the scene because you don’t often see something like that in mainstream films,” the Australian recently revealed to Stream Wars. He was thrilled that the director was pushing boundaries with this.
