Actor and wrestler Dylan Postl slammed the upcoming “Wonka” movie for casting Hugh Grant as the Oompa Loompa rather than an actor with dwarfism.
“Going back to the book, and reading all those poems, and hearing [the Oompa Loompas’] voice as a very sort of cynical, sarcastic, cruel, funny, but wicked voice, I went, ‘Oh… That’s sort of a bit like Hugh!’” King . “It was a real light bulb moment – you go, ‘Hugh Grant’s an Oompa-Loompa! Yes, please! Merry Christmas, with a bow on it.’”
“He looks terrific,” King added, “but because it’s CG, it looks terrible until it looks good. And then you go, ‘Ah, perfect!’ It’s a miracle.”, a story that traditionally includes seven dwarves named Doc, Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful and Sneezy.Warner Bros. Pictures Dylan Postl slammed the upcoming “Wonka” movie for casting Hugh Grant as the Oompa Loompa rather than an actual dwarf.However, the live-action version of the classic Disney film won’t feature seven dwarves, but rather six non-dwarves and one dwarf.
“These are roles made for actors of my stature … I can’t go for the Harrison Ford or the George Clooney roles,” Postl shared with Post Columnist Piers Morgan. “I don’t feel that’s right that it got taken away from us.”
