Actor Spills Bonkers Details About Willy Wonka Event That Had Parents Calling Cops
An actor who was hired at the last minute to play Willy Wonka at a knock-off “immersive experience” for the film “Wonka” is revealing new details about the children’s event that was executed so terribly that police were called to the scene by outraged parents demanding refunds.
“People were shouting, people who put on the event were crying. There were arguments, people running around everywhere — the set had been trashed,” Paul Connell told the Independent.
Over the weekend, photos and videos shot at “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland went viral on social media. Photos include sparse props placed haphazardly in a mostly empty warehouse and AI-generated backdrops pinned sloppily to walls. A video features children being terrified by a weird cloaked character in a metallic mask.
All the event seemed to be missing was an unhinged Wonka yelling, “You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!”
