Johnny Depp played Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Which of the following actors was NOT considered for the role of Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Will Smith, or were all of them considered for the role?
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
I’ll take a guess and say nobody but Barnaby’s best mate was considered as Tim Burton casts Johnny in just about all his movies.
Well Burton does cast Johnny a lot, but they did consider others before casting the role of Willy Wonka.
Omg. Nicholas cage!!!! That would have been creeeeeeepy.
I’m gonna say not Will Smith?
No, Will Smith was considered. For that matter, so was Nicolas Cage.
Then all of them were considered…?
All of them. Even the Rock.
Bill Murray, Christopher Walken, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, Ben Stiller, Leslie Nielsen, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Patrick Stewart, and Adam Sandler were also discussed.
Some of those I would have liked to have seen. Some of those would have been terrifying.
Adam sander would have irritated everyone and yelled randomly. Mike Myers would have been disturbing (in a bad way). And I would’ve refused to watch Keaton….
You have many opinions on this issue.
That surprises you??
Not even a little bit.
