Chocolate and an origin story of how he became the king of confectionary, what’s not to like?

Well, it seems that it is getting a sour not sweet taste with the viewers.

Hugh Grant

So what is the issue with Hugh Grant? Well this is the headline from a GQ article I want to kill Hugh Grant’s Wonka Oompa-Loompa with a hammer.

And the article ends with this: “Every horror needs its beast and Hugh Grant’s gross, horrible Oompa-Loompa is that for me. Give me a hammer and let me murder him before December. There’s still time to fix this.”

Even the Wonka director is roasting Hugh Grant’s Oompa Loompa dance, reports Screen Rant.

Also, a number of actors with dwarfism have complained that Grant is taking a role specifically designated for them

A lot of people made similar comments…

Went to see Wonka at the weekend, enjoyed it but I feel like they lied to me about the fact it was a full on musical.

Others said that people should know it is a musical and should stop moaning.

i’m sorry if you go in to Wonka not expecting a musical, you’re just stupid honestly
