If Hugh Grant could turn back the hands of time to avoid laying eyes on a pic of a naked Oompa Loompa, were pretty sure he would.

The English actor, who stars as one of the famous miniature workers from Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory in the new Wonka movie, told People that the films director, Paul King, surprised him with the startling image to amuse him.

Grant joked that the pic, which featured an early version of the character without clothes, shocked his kids.

Paul, quite early on in the editing process, sent me a mock-up of the Oompa Loompa stark naked. And my little children were a little alarmed at that, Grant, 63, said.

But as King explained to People, the image was very delicately pixelated.

There was nothing untoward. Its just something once youve seen, you cant unsee it, the director clarified.
