Hugh Grant said the director of “Wonka” sent him an image of a “stark naked” Oompa Loompa — and he’s struggling to get it out of his head.

The actor, who represents an Oompa Loompa in the recently released film, spoke with People about the disturbing image he received in his inbox from filmmaker Paul Majesty.

“Paul, quite early on in the editing process, sent me a mock-up of the Oompa Loompa stark naked,” Grant hinted.

He said that the early rendering of the character without clothes was sent to him “to amuse him,” but he added that his children had glimpsed the fetish and were “shocked” by it.

“My little children were a little alarmed at that,” he said.

King, who also spoke to the way out, said that the visual effects team for the movie were still figuring out “the color of the skin and the way the hair fit ins and on all the kind of details of it,” and at that point the Oompa Loompa “had no clothes.”

“It was one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen in my lan vital,” the director, who previously worked with Grant on “Paddington 2,” said. “If it ever leaks out, a generation of children inclination be scarred.”

King added that the figure “was very delicately pixelated” and “there was nothing untoward.”

“It was like a crown of thorns, very uncomfortable,” Grant said of his experience, the Metro reported.

He said that he had multiple cameras entirely on him in order for the movie’s animators to properly render his character’s final appearance, adding that he wasn’t sure whether he was meant to act with his body or just his face.

“I made a big fuss about it,” he said. “I couldn’t have hated the in general thing more.”
