What did Emma Corrin say about drawing inspiration for her character in Willy Wonka?
In her conversation with British GQ, Corrin revealed that she believes that Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka is one of the greatest villains of all time. Corrins told the entertainment portal, “There’s something extravagant in Gene Wilder’s performance. And it’s a similar energy that Christoph Waltz has in Inglourious Basterds because he’s wearing a uniform so he can sit there and drink a glass of milk and pretend he’s a fucking fairy godmother.”
The Policeman actress also opened up about the improvisations made by her co-stars, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, while shooting for the film.
Corrin shared with The Hollywood Reporter, “I think probably because it is a major contrast to my normal roles, and I always wanted to play a villain. And then Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.”
The actress further added, “Ryan improves the entire time. And it was kind of like a masterclass in that kind of comedy and that kind of genre of film, which I hadn’t really done before. Yeah, what’s not to love?”
