Wilder was initially hesitant, but finally accepted the role under one condition:
When I make my first entrance, I’d like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I’m walking on and stands straight up, by itself… but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause.
When Stuart asked why, Wilder replied, “because from that time on, no one will know if I’m lying or telling the truth.”

Hello,The name's taylor. I'm 16 going on 17. Slowly rotting in a suburb outside of Chicago, IL. Dinosaur figurines, children's toys, Independent/cult films, freaks and geeks, Perks of Being a Wallflower, my so called life, Hedwig and the angry inch, John Cameron Mitchell, Doctor who, Tom Kalnoky, the LGBTQ Community, choir, friends, and hair dye are the things i love. My life is too dull for me to even consider posting my drama on here. contact me for movie recomendations or a cure for lonliness.
