Apparently the Oompa Loompa’s aren’t loved in Florida… despite being adored in the rest of the world.
An Oompa Loompa character from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factoryweas detained when he was promoting an upcoming show.
Donnie Davis was promoting a show for comedian Jeff Beacher. He was dressed in a green wig, brown shirt and white overalls when he was apprehended by security guards at the Westfield Broward Mall in Plantation, Florida, as reported by People.
“They got Donnie and cuffed him,” Beacher said. “He and several other Oompa Loompas have been promoting the tour, and I guess security finally got fed up with them.
“It was ridiculous – one of the craziest and funniest things I have ever seen… Not to mention a little over the top! They are innocent Oompa Loompas!” The people in the mall apparently began chanting, let the Oompa Loompa’s go. Eventually.. they did.
