The Cannes Film Festival is back, and celebrities are bringing their A-game to the red carpet. Well, kind of. Depends on the celebrity. Case in point: the cast of Wes Anderson’s new film, The French Dispatch, was in the social media spotlight after the above photo of Timothée Chalamet, Wes Anderson, Tilda Swinton, and Bill Murray started circulating on the interwebs.
Chalamet looked like a laid-back pun rocker, Anderson was dressed to impress (but someone forgot to notify him to comb his hair), Swinton was polished and poised in a bright blue suit, and Murray showed off his quirky side with an ensemble that’d make your retired dad proud. What a bunch of oddballs.
Twitter couldn’t help but see the pic as a metaphor for other foursomes, scenarios, and archetypes. These are the funniest tweets about the cast of Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch at Cannes Film Festival.
