Hugh Grant's Wonka casting caused controversy.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Hugh Grant’s Oompa Loompa Wonka casting is defended by the film’s director. Starring Timothée Chalamet as the candy-maker from Roald Dahl's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wonka is an origin-story film showing the rise of famous chocolatier Willy Wonka and how he came to meet the Oompa Loompas. Wonka is helmed by Paddington director Paul King, and its screenplay is co-adapted by King and Simon Farnaby.
"I was enchanted by the idea of these impossibly tiny beings, far smaller even than the child-sized me. The voice and the attitude of the Oompa Loompa came from revisiting the books – long songs full of humour, sarcasm, superiority and scorn. So it was really just thinking about that character – someone who can be a real sh*t. And I went, 'Ah, Hugh [Grant]!' Because he's the funniest, most sarcastic shit that I've ever met! We'd been there before with Paddington 2.
