An actor hired to work at the Willy Wonka-themed event in Scotland last weekend has shared his nightmare experience. The event, named 'Willy's Chocolate Experience,' took place at the Box Hub Warehouse in Glasgow and gained attention after photos of the nearly empty warehouse surfaced on social media.
The actor, aged 31, was assigned the role of Willy Wonka with a 15-page script described as 'AI-generated gibberish.' During the dress rehearsal, he was shocked to find the warehouse almost empty. The event was chaotic, with shouting, crying, and arguments among the organizers.
Despite the challenges, the actors aimed to create a magical experience for the children attending. However, they were restricted to offering only 'one jelly bean and a quarter cup of lemonade' per person, contrary to promises of chocolate by the event organizers.
One unsettling moment involved a character called 'the Unknown' scaring children, causing some to cry. The actor playing Willy Wonka was asked to improvise with a vacuum cleaner, leading to further confusion and disappointment.
Eventually, the situation escalated to the point where the actor and two others decided to walk away from the event. Police intervention was required to manage the escalating tensions.
The organizers, House of Illuminati, issued an apology for the chaotic day, attributing the issues to last-minute letdowns in event planning. Advertisements for the event, including the actor's contract, were riddled with misspellings and errors.
Despite the event's claims, it was clarified in fine print that the experience was not affiliated with the official Wonka franchise owned by Warner Bros.
