Headline: Hugh Grant was cast as Oompa Loompa in Wonka due to his sarcastic nature
Caption: The trailer for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel launched on Tuesday, giving fans a first look at Timothée Chalamet as chocolatier Willy Wonka and Grant as the diminutive, green-haired Oompa Loompa. At a recent launch of the trailer in London, director Paul King noted that author Roald Dahl wrote songs for the orange-skinned characters that were "incredibly sarcastic and judgmental and cruel" about the kids in the story - and he felt Grant was the right fit.
