An actor hired to portray Willy Wonka at the "Willy's Chocolate Experience" event at a warehouse in Glasgow, Scotland, has expressed his dismay over the calamity that unfolded on February 24. Paul Connell described the event as an "absolute mess" and one of the "most embarrassing things" he's ever witnessed. The event, which cost $45 per person, failed to deliver on its promise of a magical journey filled with enchanting surprises.

Guests arrived at a dirty and nearly empty warehouse, greeted by a sad bouncy castle and lackluster props. The disappointment continued as there was a severe lack of candy at the event, with Connell being instructed to give children only one jelly bean each and a quarter of a glass of lemonade upon arrival.

Connell, who felt he better resembled an Oompa Loompa, was surprised to be cast as Willy Wonka just two days before the event. He was presented with a 15-page monologue of AI-generated gibberish to memorize and perform at the experience.

The bizarre nature of the event may have been due to the organizers' disclaimer that the experience was not related to the Wonka franchise owned by Warner Bros. Despite suspicions that they might not be paid, the actors continued to perform for the excited children until the situation spiraled out of control.

Guests expressed their anger and frustration, leading police to intervene and ultimately force the cancellation of the event. The House of Illuminati, the organizers, issued over 800 refunds to upset attendees. Connell expressed his embarrassment over the event and hopes that everyone receives the refunds they deserve.

The House of Illuminati issued an apology on their Facebook page, announcing that they will not be holding any future events. The debacle has drawn comparisons to the infamous Fyre Festival, leaving attendees and actors feeling scammed and misled by the failed Willy Wonka-themed experience.
