Why Wonka cast Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa
"It was just going back to the books again, the way the Oompa Loompas – they sing mostly in the original book, there's not really dialogue for them – but they have these great long poems where they talk about the kids," King said."They're incredibly sarcastic and judgmental and cruel and very Roald Dahl-y about these kids. They really don't hold back. So it was really thinking about that character who could be a real shit and I went, 'Ah Hugh'.
"He's the funniest, most sarcastic shit that I've ever met and it was very nice to put him in the film."proved anything, it's that Hugh Grant could be the perfect fit for King's dry humour. While there's only a hint of it in Wonka's first trailer, King also confirmed that Grant will have at least one song and dance number in the new movie. We're sure that Phoenix Buchanan would approve.
