Hugh Grant's portrayal of an Oompa Loompa in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonka is a💛 big hit with critics, but it sound💟s like the actor didn't delight in playing the small sidekick as much as we enjoyed watching him.
To make Grant appear so small, director Paul King used motion capture technology to shrink the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Love Actually star down to Oompa Loompa size. This required the actor to wear a special suit to capture his body movements, a rather uncomfortable and unenjoyable experience,ꦐ according to Grant. In a press conference with , the actor, with his typical dry sense of humor, described the experience as "drivel" continuing, "It was like a c🌠rown of thorns, very uncomfortable."
Grant had to e💦ndure multiple cameras on his face and other apparatuses to help the animators create the final product. "I made a big fuss about it," he admitted, adding, "I couldn’t have hated the whole thing more." The Notting Hill star seemingly found acting without the use of his body difficult, to say the least. "And frankly, what I did with my body was terrible, and it’s all been replaced with an animator."
When asked if it was all worth it, the actor shrugged, "Not really," while the other cast members laꦑughed around him. Grant highlighted that the CGI took all of the fun out of the role for him, especially in the singingꦬ and dancing scenes.
From this, it's clear that King knew what he was doing in casting Grant in the role. Who better to play Willy Wonka’s grumpy and witty little accomplice? The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paddington director solidified this earlier in the conference, stating he cast Hugh becauဣse he is the "the funniest, m🐬ost sarcastic s**t I’ve ever met."
It seems that King made the right decision, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first reactions to Wonka saw critiꦕcs singing the Loompa’s praises, tweeted: "Hugh Grant steals every scene he's in," and Variety writer shared: "Hugh Grant in exceptional IDGAF mode." From that we can guess that little Mr. Loompa steals the show, however much he hated filming it.
Wonka hits theatres in the United Kingdom on December 8, and in the United States on December 15. For more upcoming movies check out our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new films coming in 2023 and beyond, and to keep up with release dates, here is our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:2023 movie release dates.
