Hugh Grant ‘hated’ playing Oompa Loompa

Hugh Grant expresses discomfort with his performance in the new Wonka film and criticizes the decision to cast him as the Oompa-Loompa character. He mentions the challenge of acting with multiple cameras and not knowing if he needed to use his body, but is relieved that an animator replaced his body movements. Grant also reveals that he took the role for financial reasons. The casting choice has received backlash from an actor with dwarfism, who argues that actors with dwarfism should be offered more everyday roles in dramas and soaps.
