He is a real life Charlie. In 71 when this came out I was 6 and I walked down to the Sunset Theater in Lodi Ca. It was a Saturday matinee and it cost 50 cents. Remember it like it was yesterday.
I thought I couldn't be any happier knowing that Peter Ostrum became a veterinarian... but listening to him talk about the importance of the Arts and that it should be STEAM not STEM makes my heart swell.
Awesome interview! Peter is such a wonderful guy! His performance ranks as one of the best ever for a child actor, and to think he had the smarts to move on in his life to something that really challenged him, and leave acting with such a great role and history...wow! I hope his life continues to be blessed! Thank you, Peter!
“If you don’t try, you’re guaranteed to fail. If you do try, hey, it might work out for you.” Such wise words! I say it as, “You may have less than a 1/1,000,000 chance, but that is still greater than zero. If you don’t even try, your chances are zero.”
2021 will be The Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory movie's 50th anniversary. So it'll be something to celebrate. And those Actor's and Actresses that stared in it. Will be getting more fan mail again to.
I kinda like him without the mustache. Was never a fan of the mustache look on anyone. No offense to anyone who likes that look. It just was never my personal taste.
I wonder if he got other movie offers and he turned them down. Or did he just walk away and no studios or directors came calling on him for other parts. He did such a wonderful job that it’s hard to believe no other roles where offered.
I couldn't imagine doing something for 4 months when I was 13 and then having to talk about it for the rest of my life. I barely even remember being 13.
I'm in my 30s and I grew up on with this film. Made my kids watch it from a young age and I will continue to watch it at least every decade for the rest of my life.
Charlie you'll be a legend for life! This movie will never go out of style because its especially popular during the Christmas season. It's just a joyful spirited movie just as you are today.
I wouldn’t say one and done I would say it only took one time to become a legend of a classical movie a generation family joy. Brought family together love your role
Being a Shitty actor in 100 shitty Movies, does not make you a Star, Becoming an icon from starring in just one Movie, makes you wipe floor with a shitty Actor.
It’s so nice when you find out that a character you loved for being loving and caring and honest is really that way in real life♥️
It doesn't often happen but Charlie stayed Charlie and that's more than OK with me.
He turned out very well. Not a bad thing to say about him.
I think it helps that he decided not to continue acting after Wonka and instead live a normal life.
He looks SO much better without the moustache.

Peter was beyond brilliant as Charlie, infact he was Oscar material to say the least..♥️♥️♥️

He was offered a 3 film contract according to Wikipedia but Peter declined the offer

Seems like a nice guy 🙂 I'm glad he lost the 1800s mustache
They just made wonka and it was good but. I LOVE THE ORIGINAL. WISH I SAW HIM IN MORE MOVIES.
He looks hot without the stash
Charlie you'll be a legend for life!

Charlie/ Peter really got the Golden Ticket. I am very happy for him.
I think about this movie a lot. One of my favorites 🙂
Thank you.
Wow he looks at least in his mid 40s or late 30s without the mustache
lmao he does not look that young, you crazy
no he doesnt. he looks a lot older than he actually is
I love the classic one

I'm happy he didn't stay in Hollywood. It would had destroyed his goodness. God, wanted better for him. And now he is doing his purpose. Amen
its a shame peter never acted again, but he stayed true to himself and did what he wanted to, and i respect that.
Thank you for starring in this show. I still love to watch Willy Wonka. Good for you for becoming a veterinarian !!! :)
Should've kept acting!
Charlie's grandfather
Love what he said about Schools
Green interview with a nice and authentic man. 👍
he looks better with a moustache
So true !!! Still love it til this day , yes I loves Charlie
I wonder what he thinks of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory 2005 and Tom And Jerry: Willy Wonka
A family classic staple.
One of our favorites always.
Great 1 and done be proud it will never go away❤
Wow😳😳😳😊😊😊
R.I.P. Gene Wilder
