We Just Need To Talk About Hugh Grant As An Oompa Loompa In The "Wonka" Trailer

Earlier today, the Wonka trailer dropped, and I'm not going to lie — it looks absolutely delightful. The film tells the story of Willy Wonka's rise as a chocolatier, and Timothée Chalamet is already perfect in the role. But that's not what this post is about! In fact, this post is about absolutely nothing that occurs in the first two full minutes of the trailer. Sorry, Timmy!

Because two minutes in, absolutely everything changes forever — Hugh Grant shows up as an Oompa Loompa. I repeat, HUGH GRANT SHOWS UP AS AN OOMPA LOOMPA!

(Or perhaps he is THE only existing Oompa Loompa in this timeline? The founding Oompa? The original Loompa? So many possibilities!)

No, your eyes do not deceive you — that is Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa in a jar.

Why does he look like he is about to ask me for a heaping portion of Berries and Cream???

I promise you, Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa in a jar cannot hurt you!

Hugh Grant in a jar as an Oompa Loompa is more scared of you than you are of him.

Just when you start to wonder, "Hmm, will Hugh Grant in a jar as an Oompa Loompa start playing the flute and doing a little dance?" the answer presents itself.

OF COURSE HE WILL.

At this point, everyone watching the trailer at home is collectively like:

Anyway, here's Hugh Grant's teeny little Oompa Loompa butt, for good measure, because if I had to see it, you all have to see it too!
