Wonka
Summary
OneWonkastar unwrap that Hugh Grant is not amused by his impression of him . Timothée Chalamet was a surprise selection to trifle wizard candy Creator Willy Wonka in the unexampled prequel to Roald Dahl’sCharlie and the Chocolate Factory . Even more surprising was the cast of Grant in the unlikely role of Lofty , one of Wonka ’s telling , dancing , object lesson - delivering Oompa - Loompas .
With theWonkarelease datefast approaching , another headliner of the picture show , Keegan - Michael Key , reveals a fun behind - the - view tidbit about his impression of Grant , and Grant ’s unamused reaction to his endeavour . Appearing onJimmy Kimmel Live , Key tie in what happened when he tried to channel Grant , and come up short . moderate out his remark below ( around 11:00 of the video clip ):
I have been working on another British impression , which has been , because we ’ve been doing press for Wonka , I have been work on my Hugh Grant . I care in the film when Hugh Grant says “ I will have you have it off that I am perfectly respectable size for an Oompa - Loompa . There ’s something very Posh about the way he speaks . And I love when he say , “ Oh Oh Oh , I ’m starting to dance now , and once we start , we ca n’t halt . You guy cable have seen that in the lagger so that ’s good . … He ’s discover me do it and I think what he said to me was that I vocalise like him feature a stroke .
Hugh Grant Hated Playing An Oompa-Loompa In Wonka (But He Still Looks Hilarious)
Casting the ever - grouchy Grant as a magicalOompa - Loompawas an inspired choice byWonkaproducers . Grant unfortunately did not love the experience of being inWonka , largely due to all the unripened - filmdom work needed to translate him into a little , orangeness - shin , greenish - haired gentleman . As Grant kick recently toMetro.co.uk :
It was like a crown of thorns , very uncomfortable . I made a big fuss about it . I could n’t have hat the whole matter more … honestly , what I did with my body was terrible , and it ’s all been replaced with an animator . [ The dance sequence ] should be fun , but that was done by the vitalizer . It ’s very puzzling , with CGI now , you ca n’t separate what ’s going on … I more or less hate [ making flick ] but I have muckle of children and need money .
Such ill-humored vocalization have become part of Grant ’s brand name , so it should be no surprise to hear him griping about the uncomfortable cognitive process of play in a film with a lot of CGI . It should also get along as no surprisal to get a line that Grant dislikes cobalt - star Key ’s impression of him , and indeed it would be unsatisfying to find out that Grant actually like the impression .
Hugh Grant ’s casting as an Oompa - Loompa has been criticized by histrion with dwarfism .
Miserable as Grant may have been during the making ofWonka , the outcome of all his operose work appear to be quite hilarious , at least going by the small taste audience have been hold of Lofty the Oompa - Loompa in trailers and cartridge holder . ShouldWonka 2ever happen , it might be difficult to win over Grant to come back for more uncomfortableness , but if the money proves to his liking , he might just be enticed back for another circle of misery .
