If you’ve seen Wonka, then one of the burning questions we are sure you have is– did the cast eat all of that chocolate goodness? We asked, and they said yes!
In an interview with Blavity’s Shadow and Act, Timothée Chalamet, Calah Lane, Natasha Rothwell and Keegan-Michael Key, as well as director Paul King, spoke about the film, having a new Wonka for a new generation and of course, chocolate!
The film’s synopsis, according to Warner Bros:
Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s most iconic children’s book and one of the best-selling children’s books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.
Wonka also stars Paterson Joseph, Natasha Rothwell, Hugh Grant, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Freya Parker, Jim Carter, Tom Davis, Rich Fulcher and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith and Rakhee Thakrar.
