#3. Charlie Bucket
The lead role of Charlie Bucket was played by Peter Ostrum, who was 14 years at the time. It's hard picturing him without his signature blond, wavy hair, but this is how he looks like now!
If you thought he became a huge Hollywood star, you couldn't be more wrong! He actually went on to study veterinary and he spent most of his life in Glenfield, New York, looking after sick cattle and horses.
#2. Violet Beauregarde
Except for Charlie, all of the kids who went on the tour through the chocolate factory were total brats. One of these annoying kids was Violet, the girl who blew up like a blueberry after chewing on some gum.
The role of Violet was played by actress Denise Nickerson, who was also 14 years old at the time. She took on a few roles in major TV shows, including the famous soap-opera Dark Shadows, though she put an end to her acting career by the end of the 70s.
#1. The Oompa Loompa
When looking back on the movie, the Oompa Loompas are probably the first thing that comes to mind. Do you remember who the leader of the Oompa Loompas was? Here's a picture to freshen up your mind.
Unlike most of the cast, Goffe had a rather successful career as an actor. He landed on secondary roles on the Star Wars franchise and played a goblin in the Harry Potter films.
