tvN’s TV talk show “You Quiz on the Block” has come under fire for making a series of mistakes on the latest episode featuring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, who appeared on the show as part of their promotional activities for the blockbuster “Dune: Part Two.” (Dune 2).
Hollywood stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya appeared on the popular TV show “You Quiz on the Block” on Feb. 28, discussing the upcoming movie “Dune 2″ and sharing insights into their lives as Hollywood actors.
“Dune 2 is currently No.1 in ticket sales. Dune 1 also received great popularity. Many fans are waiting for the sequel’s release,” said show host You Jae-suk. Timothée responded, “The movie runs long, but there is no slow moment, full of action. " He also expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am just grateful and honored to make movies.”
When asked about their favorite scenes in the movie, Timothée mentioned a great fight scene with co-star Austin Butler. Zendaya answered, “It’s hard to choose a favorite scene. I got more lines this time. You work hard on something and just hope people enjoy it and have the same feeling you had when you made it.”
Regarding the director Denis Villeneuve, two actors said they were grateful to work with the incredible director. Chalamet, 28, also mentioned his early days as an anonymous actor. “I was a theater nerd. My mom took me to many theaters growing up, and there were a lot of rejections. For a lot of auditions, people just give two thumbs down.” Zendaya added, “I am grateful that I can continue to act. I sound like an 80-year-old grandmother, but I feel like I have been doing it for a long time. I have been doing it since I was a kid. "
Two actors said in unison, “We are pretty boring, seriously,” when the topic of their lives as Hollywood stars was brought up. Zendaya said, “We don’t leave the house. I hang out with my dog. I read scripts and figure out what I will do next.” Timothée commented, “She does somersault,” provoking laughter. The actor added, “I play video games, look at the grass, memorize lines, showers, grocery shopping, and I make omelets.”
However, there were some disappointing moments. The production crew made a series of mistakes in the footage used during the show. In the video introducing “Dune 2,” Timothée’s on-screen name, “Paul,” was misspelled to “Tom.” This mishap wasn’t the sole issue. When using the footage of Timothée at the airport, the production team blurred the face of Austin Butler, who was reportedly visiting the country with Timothée to promote “Dune 2.”
The high anticipation surrounding world stars’ TV appearances resulted in greater disappointment among fans. Netizens commented, “I was looking forward to it, but I’m disappointed,” and “It is obvious that they did not do enough research beforehand.” Fans also criticized the insufficient amount of research on the movie, saying, “It is bad that they got the names of movie characters wrong when the actors appeared on the show to promote the movie,” and “I could tell that the show hosts did not watch the movie. Shouldn’t they have at least some knowledge about the movie?”
