Hugh Grant's portrayal of an Oompa Loompa in Wonka is a big hit with critics, but it sounds 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 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, according to Grant. In a press conference with Metro.co.uk, the actor, with his typical dry sense of humor, described the experience as "drivel" continuing, "It was like a crown of thorns, very uncomfortable."
