Hugh Grant's casting as Oompa Loompa in 'Wonka' film sparks debate and criticism from actors with dwarfism
- The upcoming film "Wonka" casts Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa, which has drawn criticism from some actors with dwarfism.
- Actors with dwarfism argue they should be considered for everyday dramatic roles but feel excluded from opportunities.
- Previous adaptations cast actors with dwarfism as Oompa Loompas, unlike the new film starring Timothée Chalamet.
- Some actors with dwarfism believe the casting limits roles for their community and continues problematic stereotypes.
- While some express concerns, others have conflicted feelings about the representational issues in casting Grant.
