Actor Reveals Crazy Details About Willy Wonka Event Where Parents Called the Police

An actor who was hired at the last minute to play Willy Wonka in an “immersive experience” knockoff of the movie “Wonka” reveals new details about the children’s event that was executed so horribly that the police were called to the scene by outraged parents demanding refunds.

“People were screaming, the people organizing the event were crying. There were arguments, people running everywhere; the set had been trashed,” Paul Connell. he told the independent.

During the weekend, photos and videos. shot at “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland, went viral on social media. The photos include sparse accessories placed haphazardly in a nearly empty warehouse. and AI-generated backgrounds carelessly pinned to walls. A video features children terrorized by a strange character wrapped in a metallic mask.

All that seemed to be missing from the event was a deranged Wonka shouting: “You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!“

One A social media user described the scene. like it looked like a “methamphetamine lab.”

One parent who attended the event said it also included a lackluster “candy station that distributed one candy per child,” according to the Independent. But Connell told the outlet that the candy offerings were much bleaker.

“They told us to give (the children) a jelly bean and a quarter cup of lemonade,” she said. “There is no chocolate in the chocolate experience. “There was supposed to be a chocolate fountain somewhere, but I never saw it.”

“In some ways, it was a world of imagination,” Connell said. “Imagine there is an entire chocolate factory here.”

Connell, who said he was hired a day or two before the event, told the outlet that he had a feeling it was going to be a disaster as soon as he received the script for a dress rehearsal.

“The script was 15 pages of AI-generated gibberish where I was just monologuing this crazy stuff,” he said.

“What got me was I had to say, ‘There’s a man whose name we don’t know. We know him as the Unknown. “This Stranger is an evil chocolate maker who lives within the walls.”

Connell added that at the end of his monologue “I was supposed to suck up the Unknown Man with a vacuum cleaner.”

But on the day of the event, they did not deliver the accessory.

“I asked them if they had a vacuum cleaner and they said, ‘Yeah, we’re not there yet, so improvise,’” he said.

Connell told the outlet that although he was one of three actors hired to play Wonka, he played the role for “three and a half hours straight,” even though he was told he would have a 15-minute break every 45 minutes. When Connell finally had lunch, he ate it in his car and looked at the ground to avoid seeing the children crying.

He said when he returned, a mob had formed and things were becoming chaotic.

He decided to snuggle up with the other two Wonkas and a nearby Oompa-Loompa and the four of them decided to leave.

“It was actually getting pretty dangerous for us,” Connell said. “But it was heartbreaking, to be honest.”

In a statement to the guardianThe company that organized the event, House of Illuminati, apologized to customers for the “very stressful and frustrating day.”

“Unfortunately, at the last minute we were let down in many areas of our event and did everything we could to continue and move forward and now realize we probably should have canceled first thing this morning,” the statement read.

Organizers also told The Guardian that full refunds would be given to customers.
