You would anticipate some fairly crazy artifacts from your film sets if you were a well-known Hollywood star like Timothée Chalamet. Chalamet claims to keep a popcorn pail beneath his bed, which is, of all things, his most prized memento from Dune 2. Yes, you read correctly. When asked if he still has the notorious popcorn bucket with the Dune theme during an interview, the actor cheekily replied,
"I keep mine under my bed."
Fans are going crazy over this unexpected revelation, which has sparked a flurry of amusing social media responses.
"Lol, at least he's got a sense of humour bout it,"
a fan wrote in response to a tweet that included Chalamet's comments, summarising everyone's feelings.
Fans can't get enough of the actor's humorous side, which is evident given his reputation for doing serious roles.
Timothée Chalamet’s cheeky response about his Dune 2 popcorn bucket sends fans into a hilarious frenzy
As with anything involving Timothée Chalamet, his comments about the popcorn bucket quickly went viral, and Twitter wasted no time delivering the laughs. One fan hilariously referenced a viral video by tweeting,
“I keep mine under my bed,” accompanied by a clip of someone saying, "I know you're freaky."
It didn’t stop there—another fan compared Chalamet’s prized possession to a beloved superhero item, tweeting,
“I still think the Deadpool one is soo much smoother than the Dune one though.”
Of course, Chalamet’s playful response had many speculating whether he knew exactly what kind of chaos he was about to unleash on the internet. One fan tweeted,
“Nahhhh he knew what he was doing with that response😭😂.”
For those who noticed the quirky undertone of Chalamet’s statement, there was plenty to analyze. One tweet asked,
“Is that what I think it is…..” accompanied by a series of emojis that left nothing to the imagination.
Meanwhile, another fan jokingly referred to Timothée as a
“real gooner 🫡,” solidifying his place among internet meme royalty.
Chalamet’s ability to laugh at himself had another fan pointing out,
“The more I see about this fella, the more I realize he’s just one of the boys.”
And if you had any doubts about the actor’s comedic chops, a final fan tweet wrapped it up perfectly:
“Chalamet has turned out to be hilarious.”
The perfect response and some backstory
Another reason why people have grown to love Timothée is his eccentric answer. Chalamet, who is well-known for his outstanding performances in films like Dune and Call Me by Your Name, is accustomed to playing challenging parts.

Behind the scenes, though, it appears the actor has a sense of humor that comes through in these kinds of situations. Even though the movie is huge, he manages to make fun of its smaller parts, and his popcorn bucket joke fits within the larger context of the Dune trilogy being one of his career highlights. That Timothée would treasure a memento from the smash hit is not surprising. When the promotional popcorn bucket for Dune 2 first appeared at a few theatres, it quickly became a fan favorite.
For those who could obtain one, the bucket's futuristic, enormous shape was intended to mimic the well-known sandworms of the desert world, making it an entertaining collection. But for Timothée, it's more than simply promotional material; it's a humorous recollection that he has transformed into an amusing story for the internet to enjoy.
