Yes, that is one of the actual "Oompa Loompas" from the event.

The actor who played Willy Wonka has put out a few TikTok videos talking about his experience, how embarrassed he is by the whole thing, etc. His TikTok is @paulconnellcomedy if you wanna watch them there.

https://streamable.com/3ywb6h
https://streamable.com/ksdaor
https://streamable.com/ipgga1

Some notes:

He and the other actors arrived and were pretty sure they weren't gonna be getting paid, but decided to stick around and try to do something for the kids

He was given 15 pages of AI-generated nonsense to memorize

One part of the script had him using a vacuum cleaner to suck up an evil chocolate-maker who lives in the walls. With no vacuum in sight, he asked the folks running the thing what he was supposed to do. They had no answers and told him to improvise, so he just cut that part out.

Each kid got one jelly bean and a quarter-cup of Tesco lemonade

After returning from his lunch break, the fury had begun and people were starting to complain, take videos of how shitty everything looked, break things, and steal things.

That's so fucking unhinged I'm not even sure I'd be immediately angry if it happened to me, it'd take a couple hours to process what the hell just went down.
