Wilder was initially hesitant, but finally accepted the role under one condition:
When I make my first entrance, I’d like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I’m walking on and stands straight up, by itself… but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause.
When Stuart asked why, Wilder replied, “because from that time on, no one will know if I’m lying or telling the truth.”
He’s the Doctor, really. This is why Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka is better than Johnny Depp’s, in my eyes.
Jenni- you think EVERYONE is the Doctor hahahaha
but really- that whole text thing, I think that’s why I still like the old version more than the new
No, only the cool people. I’m attracted to stories with that character-type in them. XD
You’ve called Sherlock the Doctor. They’re OPPOSITES.
And a dozen of other characters or so. I can’t seem to pull up any other names, but….Sherlock? really?
