Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory child star Paris Themmen has described what it was like meeting the film’s lead Gene Wilder, decades after they starred together.
I’m Paris Themmen, I was Mike Teavee in Willy Wonka,’” he recounted.
Since shooting the movie, Themmen has been described as a “notorious troublemaker on the set”, with Wilder calling him “a handful”.
To celebrate the film’s 50th anniversary this week, several of the child actors came together for a virtual reunion.
