Some people with dwarfism have criticized the casting of British actor Hugh Grant in the role of an Oompa-Loompa in the upcoming film “Wonka,” saying that work is being “taken” from them
Directed by Paul King and produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, “Wonka” is a prequel to Roald Dahl’s 1964 children’s novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and explores the making of Willy Wonka as a magician, inventor and chocolate-maker. The story will focus on Wonka and how he met the Oompa-Loompas on one of his earliest adventures, according to IMDb.
However, he went on to say, “Now some people will say that roles like this are demeaning and we should be playing more ‘normal’ roles which is completely true but we aren’t getting offered those roles so they have kind of shut one door for us without opening the other one. So we are stuck in the middle unable to do anything.” He added that actors with dwarfism should “at least” be given the option to play such roles, even if they are not a fan of them, “instead of just shutting us out.
