Your childhood was probably never the same after watching this extraordinary classic. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory released on June 30, 1971, in the USA was every child’s dream. This immense factory full of sweets was hypnotising for all the children who fell in love with the movie, but adults, too. Directed by Mel Stuart, this classic is celebrating 45 years of its first release this year! To celebrate this, here are the best secrets that this movie hides.
1. I’ve Got A Golden Ticket!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory managed to be funny, creepy and inspirational all at the same time. And while we all wanted a golden ticket, we were never able to get inside that chocolate factory. Until now…
2. Boys To Men
First Willy Wonka secret: Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie, hit puberty while making the movie. If you listen close, his voice is much higher in the beginning of the movie than it is at the end.
Additionally, Ostrum never acted in another movie after Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.Instead, he ended up becoming a veterinarian.
