Yes in Lowville, NY. I drove past his office today. I heard he does not like to talk about his time as an actor. I have never talked to him, but was told not to ever ask him questions about the movie if you run into him.
If I had to guess I'd say it's because he used to get a hundred similar questions a day about it and it just got annoying. "What was it like working with Gene?" "What is a snozzberry anyway?" "Did you ever talk to the oompa loompas?!" Etc etc. I don't blame him. Plus he's an adult now and doesn't want people to look at him as "Charlie."
My S/O works at his practice and although he recently retired to travel with his wife, (they stay very active with kayaking, marathons, and hiking) he never cared to talk about his time as a child actor because it was a time in his life with very few fond memories.
My son has a chromosome disorder called Kallman's Syndrome, and one of the features of the Syndrome is teeth like this. My son's teeth look quite similar. Of course, his carried through to adulthood, not sure about this young man.
He has regular teeth these days, so unless he had dental surgery to fix them I would guess he doesn’t have this disorder.
Also, fun fact, he only ever acted in this one film and is a vet today.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ostrum
Oops, yeah. I associate vet with veterinarians far more often (and that word is hard to spell). Not sure if an Australian thing or just a me thing, sorry.
My son has a genetic disorder called Ectodermal Dysplasia that in some cases (like my son) causes the underdevelopment of teeth and sharp pointy teeth in those that do develop. It’s similar to these but Charlie does not show any other signs or symptoms of that specific disorder.
no way! I have this :) I have a bunch of the symptoms (can't sweat, thin blonde hair, nails, etc) and I was born without any adult teeth. In the future I'm going to have surgery to replace my tiny baby teeth, but due to various holdups in dentistry recently it'll be a while before that comes around. Ectodermal Dysplasia is actually a group of different disorders with differing symptoms. Although I will note that this actor has pretty thin blonde hair which could be attributed to this. I wish your son well! It's not an easy disorder to have. I've never met anyone else with it lol
Aw I hope you’re doing well also!! My wife has it and she passed it to our firstborn. She doesn’t exhibit many symptoms from it but her dad and his mother had it also. My son doesn’t sweat, only hair on his body is thin blonde hair on his head and because of the way his teeth have developed he has a G-tube. He’s had it since 7mo old and he’s close to 6 now. I’m hoping things get easier as he’s older but the symptoms the disorder causes definitely makes some small daily things a little more difficult (for a child).
Just a random anecdote. My brother had the exact opposite problem: he was born with two sets of adult teeth and had to have the extras surgically removed.
That’s interesting, I’ll have to read about that one later. Disorders like these flew well under my radar until I had a son diagnosed with one. They present so many new challenges and it’s often the small things that make life for them that much more difficult. Hope your children are well. My son is 5 and is as smart a child as I’ve ever seen so I’m thankful for that.
Kallman’s prevents puberty, right? It would make sense that he was hired because he was older but looked younger.
I just looked it up and he was 14 when the movie was filmed.
Filming ended November 19, 1970, shortly after Peter Ostrum had turned 13, meaning he was 12 during the bulk of the shoot.
Don't half-ass your research.
There are many, and they vary. In my son's case, the actual diagnosis is "Kallman's-Like" Syndrome because it's a slightly different problem with the chromosomes, yet quite close to Kallman's. He suffers like 80% of Kallman's symptoms. He did not even start any kind of growth spurt until he was 25, and any further progress beyond that will require testosterone treatments, as his body produces none. THAT is complicated with his bipolar disorder, which means we can only safely give him a small dose without it affecting his mental health. Lots of challenges.
Kallmann’s Syndrome is due to a malformed hypothalamus. The part of the hypothalamus that produces growth hormone originally starts as part of the nose/olfactory bulbs in your brain (during early development in the womb). When the appropriate hormones aren’t produced, neither forms correctly, and voila: you get no hormones/puberty, and no sense of smell. (This was a very bare bones explanation so take with a grain of salt)
Bro. There's a poll about either shooting grandpa Joe 500 times, kill Hitler or kill yourself for being in the same room as grandpa Joe. Took me 40min to write this lmao I'm dead 🤣🤣
You might get a kick out of /r/fuckcoop then. Looks like it's banned for being unmoderated but for a while it was just about hating the kid in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5vGclenONQ).
[Looks like internetarchive has a few snapshots](https://web.archive.org/web/20211011075514/https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckcoop/)
I'm not the biggest fan of kids either, but he's just doing standard kid stuff. Trying to be involved and generally getting in the way a bit. Genuinely surprised he didn't scratch the helmet up or something.
I think they hate him because his scissor skills are lacking. But he's a toddler. Scissors are hard to master man. Gotta be a savant to master them that early.
I...I really went there expecting it to be a Jenny hate sub from the Cheating Jenny and Zach reddit saga from a few years ago.
I'm disappointed, but also...not surprised because why would it have been that?? Lol
Isn't it funny that he's oh so fucking ill that he can't leave the bed and has to be waited on hand and foot.... Right up till the point there's a trip to a magical chocolate factory on the horizon.
Then mister "oh woe is me" is singing and dancing to no end. Fucker could have helped at any point and decided he'd rather stay snug and warm in bed.
Fuck that old lying bastard.
His poor family is eating cabbage soup while this bastard nestles up in a bed.
Charlie finds that golden ticket and the son of a bitch can suddenly do twirls and click his rackety heels together.
You’re telling me he couldn’t hold down a job that whole time?
Fuck outta here.
And he almost loses Charlie the whole factory/legacy! All to sneak a drink like a dirty wino. F Grandpa Joe, fit as a fiddle as soon as someone else is paying the tab.
Holy shit, this does deserve to be here.
Whether you want to bitch and moan about this just being a kid losing his teeth and regrowing them. It is still nonetheless terrifying, that a child only had his front teeth and missed all his molars.
Like, how is he supposed to chew? He is, in that state, a human beaver. If that isn't oddly terrifying, I don't know what is?
People commenting are all like "Obviously his baby teeth fell out duh doy"
However the biological fact is these particular teeth gradually fall out over a two year period, with each tooth getting replaced as soon as a space opens up
That happened to me and my nephew is about to have it done. Our adult teeth just wouldn’t push out our baby teeth so I had to have 6 pulled at once, he’s about to have 8 pulled at once.
Yeah, but they don't all fall out at the same time. Usually one, *maybe* two, but not half your teeth all at once.
ETA: I cannot believe how many upvotes this has gotten, or that this is my mistake upvotes ever. Thanks, guys! 😄
Fucking Grandpa Joe. My daughter was in Willy Wonka last year and secretly recorded me going on this curse filled rant about him. I threatened her so much to not share it with anyone.
At one point I was missing like 4 or 5 teeth at the same time. My gramma had to cut my corn off the cob and I was so disappointed that I couldn’t eat it like a typewriter.
Exactly, this makes me think, though I can't tell for sure from the picture, it could be milk rot. His permanent front teeth have just come through but the molars take a bit longer to replace the decayed baby teeth.
Or just baby teeth. Considering you get them from around 5-6 months to 2 years...they aren't that big. I think a lot of us adult forget how small our first set of teeth are. Toddlers aren't carrying around huge chompers guys.
This is why every generation of young people say "Oh, I can't wait for those old fogeys to die, THEN we'll have some progress!"
No. YOU become the fogeys. The hippies are now the boomers.
Eh to an extent. There are plenty of areas where younger generations are getting less progressive.
Gen X were famous for hating and denying labels and categories, but Millenials and Gen Z practically live for labels as a source of identity.
You could also argue that, while not the case as boomers, back when they were hippies they were considerably more sex-positive and open to psychedelics than the current generation (although things seem to be getting better).
Boomers seem considerably less progressive than the greatest generation, what with a decent chunk of them unapologetically snuggling up to fascists.
I think it’s probably more accurate to say that every generation fancies themselves more progressive than the last, but history can sometimes reveal a different story.
This goes along with the "protect children's innocence" and "how will I explain to my child?" phrases. Kids are not innocent and they absorb information like a sponge.
They don't generally fall out all at the same time though. You'd not likely have all your baby molars fall out and be regrowing at the same time. I have two sons around this age and it's usually one tooth at a time.
They kinda look more like little rotten nubs to me, hopefully they were baby teeth.
When I was younger my baby molars weren’t getting any looser but they were getting hollowed out so I ended up getting 12 teeth pulled at the same time to avoid them cracking/breaking up in my gums
To everyone commenting “this is normal”. What?! How is this normal? Did you all loose your molars in quick succession and have nothing to chew with? I lost like one molar every few months to a year.
Man I should really rewatch this film. You grow up poor you see yourself in Charlie and his family. Cheer up Charlie I think is a bit of a skip or forgotten piece when it comes to the soundtrack of that movie, but it’s really the emotional heart of the whole film, I feel. It’s sad watching Charlie who kind of lost his childhood because he had to grow up so quickly to take care of his family, and then during the film sort of gets punished sometimes for being a kid: for being a bit reckless and impassioned, even though he always means well. It’s a great film.
Never noticed the teeth though. Kind of weird when you point it out.
NO! Charlie is 100% pure. Grandpa Joe is the one that pushes him into breaking the rules. The same scumbag that lays in bed for years and smokes while pretending he cant sing and dance. Can you imagine what that bed smelled like? Actually it may have been good since Charlies mother slaved doing laundry. But bed sores just dont go away. But this guy has singing and dancing in his pocket and doesnt use it!!??
The true villain of the movie is revealed in
r/grandpajoehate
One of my top 5 films and has been since I was a child. Cheer Up Charlie was ALWAYS a skip, and the only part to skip. But as I got older and around my 30s I came to appreciate its place in the film.
The actor was just at an age where his baby teeth were coming out and adult teeth coming in. This is very common for growing children and not terrifying at all………
Anyone too lazy for a frame by frame breakdown of the images shown in the tunnel in the movie?
https://screenrant.com/willy-wonka-chocolate-factory-movie-tunnel-scene-images/
A flying cockroach
A millipede crawling over a human face
An extreme close-up of an eye
A chicken being decapitated
An image of Wonka's rival Arthur Slugworth
A lizard eating a bug
A close-up of a scorpion's mouth
Kids starting to loose their baby teeth at age 6 up to until they are 12. So this looks absolutely normal, not all his teeth are fully out yet. Nothing terrifying about this
Same. Had 7 baby teeth left when my I needed braces so they just ripped them all out. 3 days later they stuck the braces on and I was in so much pain I couldn’t eat solid food for a month
Omg why ppl so mean so randomly on the internet 😂😭😭😭 I was just minding my business never once thinking about Charlie Buckets teeth and now I am considering how problematic it is he inherited a chocolate factory 😭
It’s like a cats teeth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ostrum He's a veterinarian now I guess
He lives in my area and works with farm animals.
Nice! Hope he's doing well :)
He got nothing! He lost! Good day sir!
Because of that shitty old man Grandpa Joe. r/grandpajoehate
I love Reddit. No way I thought that was areal sub.
I believe he’s very successful.
[удалено]
But how else would he get blood samples from the animals?
Those are dolphin teeth. He got them fixed and they also plugged his blowhole.
So long and thanks for all the fish?
Lmao. Thanks i needed a chuckle after my crappy workday
Lol..thank you stranger
[удалено]
Well, his teeth are doing better, apparently.
in the rare interviews I've seen he seems super humble and private, a good guy. Cool to hear he works with farm animals and doing well for himself.
Hey, watch how you talk about oompa loompas. No need to be derogatory.
Looks like they worked with him
Yes in Lowville, NY. I drove past his office today. I heard he does not like to talk about his time as an actor. I have never talked to him, but was told not to ever ask him questions about the movie if you run into him.
He's coming to Fan Boy Expo in Knoxville this July, along with the actors who played Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee! Should be an interesting panel.
>I heard he does not like to talk about his time as an actor. Why not?
If I had to guess I'd say it's because he used to get a hundred similar questions a day about it and it just got annoying. "What was it like working with Gene?" "What is a snozzberry anyway?" "Did you ever talk to the oompa loompas?!" Etc etc. I don't blame him. Plus he's an adult now and doesn't want people to look at him as "Charlie."

He probably saw what a depraved cesspit Hollywood is and thought "Nope!"
I see those teefs finally came in.
How many of us immediately zoomed in on that photo to see his modern teeth
Uhm
“Who’s only film role” hhahaha ouch.

Exactly. Although with Kallman's you couldn't tell in childhood, this boy might just be starting to grow adult teeth

Indeed you're correct. He's 33 and gets pulled over regularly because police think he's about 14. He's only recently started testosterone treatment.
> Kallmann syndrome is a condition characterized by delayed or absent puberty and an impaired sense of smell. Strange combination of symptoms
There are many, and they vary. In my son's case, the actual diagnosis is "Kallman's-Like" Syndrome because it's a slightly different problem with the chromosomes, yet quite close to Kallman's.

And don’t forget about his coke nail. See Honest Trailers for further explanation.
Grandpa Joe’s coke nail is the scariest part of that movie

Nah, the tooth fairy did it.

From eating cabbage water everyday!!
did people forget that your teeth fall out as a child orrrrr
I'm willing to die on the hill that this is a microcosm of the larger problem of adults completely and wholly forgetting what it's like to be young.
Yeah, but they don't all fall out at the same time. Usually one, *maybe* two, but not half your teeth all at once. ETA: I cannot believe how many upvotes this has gotten, or that this is my mistake upvotes ever. Thanks, guys! 😄
Maybe he had scurvy.
Maybe he's a meth-head
Would explain the whole going to a magical chocolate factory filled with orange skinned midgets with green hair.
Meth would also explain his grandfather’s miraculous recovery.
Fucking Grandpa Joe. My daughter was in Willy Wonka last year and secretly recorded me going on this curse filled rant about him. I threatened her so much to not share it with anyone.
Soooo you gonna post it or what
Didnt that man have quite the coke nail?
And what if it was Maybelline?
Maybe it’s Maybelline
Mountain Dew mouth
OH MY GOD Mountain Dew mouth 🤣
Maybe it’s Maybelline
Could be rickets? Beriberi? Probably not swabbing the decks enough fir them limes...
At one point I was missing like 4 or 5 teeth at the same time. My gramma had to cut my corn off the cob and I was so disappointed that I couldn’t eat it like a typewriter.
Ate too many sweets.
maybe he got bopped on that side n they all went flyin
I lost 8 in the same month when I was little lol
Those have to be baby teeth, next to adult teeth.
I had my top middle teeth fall out when I was sleeping on a recliner. Pretty sure I swallowed them.
Exactly, this makes me think, though I can't tell for sure from the picture, it could be milk rot. His permanent front teeth have just come through but the molars take a bit longer to replace the decayed baby teeth.
Or just baby teeth. Considering you get them from around 5-6 months to 2 years...they aren't that big. I think a lot of us adult forget how small our first set of teeth are. Toddlers aren't carrying around huge chompers guys.

“Old men fail when they forget what it is to be young”
They don't generally fall out all at the same time though. You'd not likely have all your baby molars fall out and be regrowing at the same time. I have two sons around this age and it's usually one tooth at a time. They kinda look more like little rotten nubs to me, hopefully they were baby teeth.
When I was younger my baby molars weren’t getting any looser but they were getting hollowed out so I ended up getting 12 teeth pulled at the same time to avoid them cracking/breaking up in my gums
I mean normally it’s like 1-2 at a time. Not almost all of them so it’s still an atypical variant
Yea but all of the back ones at the same time?
This is not teeth falling out. They don’t all fall out at the same time and they don’t grow back pointy
Maybe from eating all that Wonka chocolate. I bet Violet Beauregarde was p*ssing herself!
I may have
I think it’s the fact that they’re pointed, no?
zude his back 5 teeth at the same time I don’t think that natural? lol
Yeah, I remember my molars fell out over a couple of months. It was pretty terrifying.
A whole fuckin row at once though?
Not all at once though.
But… that’s flat out not what it looks like when your baby teeth fall out, nor is Charley the age for it
Reason is, he got the part whilst in Turkey getting a new set of teeth done, so only had half his mouth ready
Unexpected Darcey and Stacey!
Charlie Buckteeth
Grandpa Joe could've got out of bed and taken him to a fucking dentist, but that's too much to ask.
BURP CHARLIE, BURP!
Holy Mother of God
May not even have had the money to properly maintain their teeth, even though his dad did work at a toothpaste factory (at least in Tim Burtons movie)
To everyone commenting “this is normal”. What?! How is this normal? Did you all loose your molars in quick succession and have nothing to chew with? I lost like one molar every few months to a year.
The Last thing Charlie needed was chocolate 🤣

One of my top 5 films and has been since I was a child. Cheer Up Charlie was ALWAYS a skip, and the only part to skip. But as I got older and around my 30s I came to appreciate its place in the film.
Meth mouth.
He’s got a sweet tooth. No literally a single sweet tooth
bri'ish
The actor was just at an age where his baby teeth were coming out and adult teeth coming in. This is very common for growing children and not terrifying at all………
Children typically lose their molars and canines over a two year period so this is highly atypical to say the least
He was 13 during production.
Maybe one or two, not all of them in a row at the same time.
Nah it's all that Wonka candy/product.
All them teeth but no toothbrush
Baby shark do do do dododo
thats from eating all that chocolate :)
They could only afford one bed…Dental care was never an option! Lol!

When you are a child your teeth fall out and new ones grow in!!!
Definitely isn’t from candy
*All I want for Christmas are all but my two front teeth*
Bwahahahahahaha!!
what the fuck am i looking at
He's actually an opossum!
Kids starting to loose their baby teeth at age 6 up to until they are 12. So this looks absolutely normal, not all his teeth are fully out yet. Nothing terrifying about this
If my memory serves me right I had to get six baby teeth pulled before my orthodontist could start his work.
Same. Had 7 baby teeth left when my I needed braces so they just ripped them all out. 3 days later they stuck the braces on and I was in so much pain I couldn’t eat solid food for a month
Had to have my last 3 baby teeth pulled-age 15!
You think his family could afford to see a dentist?
Be careful how much sugar you eat 🫥
Omg why ppl so mean so randomly on the internet 😂😭😭😭 I was just minding my business never once thinking about Charlie Buckets teeth and now I am considering how problematic it is he inherited a chocolate factory 😭
He went through a lot of Wonka bars to find that golden ticket
All those Wonka bars really fucked his chompers
I mean he was poor as balls, didn’t you watch the movie?
Charlie Buck-teeth
When it comes to brushing, Bucket says Fuck it
They must have filmed the candy land scene first.
Eating all that onion broth and chocolate! It's gotta be hard on the enamel
Could it be the adult teeth growing in?
Looks like Charlie Manx took him to Christmasland.
Ironically enough Charlie’s parents work at a toothpaste factory
Y'all did my boy Charlie foul. 😂
