George Coppen, an actor with dwarfism, called out Wonka for casting a non-dwarf as the Oompa-Loompas.

Per the BBC, Coppen singled out Hugh Grant's casting as Willy Wonka's employees as a step back for people with dwarfism. "A lot of actors [with dwarfism] feel like we are being pushed out of the industry we love," he said. "A lot of people, myself included, argue that dwarfs should be offered everyday roles in dramas and soaps, but we aren't getting offered those roles. One door is being closed but they have forgotten to open the next one." Coppen also noted that previous adaptations of Roald Dahl's story cast actors with dwarfism for Oompa-Loompas with Deep Roy playing the role in Tim Burton's 2005 movie and George Claydon, Malcolm Dixon, Rusty Goffe, Ismed Hassan, Noman McGlen, Angelo Muscat, Pepe Poupee, Marcus Powell and Albert Wilkinson featuring in 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
