Hornswoggle Professional Wrestler Dylan Postl says Hugh Grant depriving dwarf actors of the Oompa Loompa role in Willy Wonka is a “kick in the guts” for people with achondroplasia.

Hugh Grant described playing the role in the new Willy Wonka movie as a “crown of thorns” which he “hated”.

“I don’t fully understand why he’s complaining about it – he knew what he was getting into when he accepted the role,” Mr Postl told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

Mr Postl pointed out the situation is similar to the new Snow White and the Seven Dwarves movie in which “average sized” actors play the dwarf roles.

“Those roles for my community are very few and far between so when roles like the Oompa Loompa or the Seven Dwarves are really key roles for people like me, it’s really a kick in the guts.”
