During a recent press event to promote his role as an Oompa Loompa in "Wonka," Hugh Grant all but spat on the floor when asked to describe his experience working on the highly anticipated film, which tells the origin story of the eccentric chocolatier first made famous by Gene Wilder in 1971, with Timothée Chalamet picking up the title role in the prequel that premieres in theaters on December 15.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk and several other outlets, Grant admitted to taking the role because he has lots of children and needed the money, expressing a great deal of frustration and general dissatisfaction with the "apparatuses" and animation used to make his character come to life on screen.
