Hugh Grant was cast in ‘Wonka’ because he is the ‘funniest, most sarcastic s**t’ director Paul King has ever met. Now, that is what makes a good Oompa Loompa.
Hugh Grant was cast in ‘Wonka’ because he is the ‘funniest, most sarcastic s**t’ director Paul King has ever met., which tells the story as to how Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s Willy Wonka became a confectionary magnate.
Filmmaker King admitted that Roald Dahl’s original novels – which also included sequel… didn’t have much dialogue about the diminutive workers, but their songs were ‘incredibly sarcastic and judgemental and cruel’.
He was nominated for a Bafta for best supporting actor in the role and has also appeared in other comedic and irreverent parts in separate recent movies including Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves and a fun cameo in Glass Onion, the Knives Out sequel. When the trailer dropped on Tuesday night, it was very much Grant’s turn as an Oompa Loompa – only glimpsed right at the end – that really captured fans’ attention.‘Roles I never thought I’d see Hugh Grant playing. The man’s career path has become fascinating recently,’ observed one fan, while another added: ‘Hugh Grant’s silly little guy phase continues to deliver.’
