A master sculptor has spent five weeks carving a life-sized Willy Wonka, using more than 100kg \u2013 of chocolate. The 6ft 2in model, inspired by the eponymous character in the new movie, Wonka, went on display in London’s Trafalgar Square.<\/p>\n
Sculpted into the popular character\u2019s iconic pose, along with a hat and cane, the mouth-watering creation\u00a0was moulded and hand-crafted from more than 100 litres of melted chocolate, by sculptor Jen Lindsey-Clark.<\/p>\n
Jen, who previously sculpted a bust of King Charles ahead of the coronation, said: \u201cAs a chocolate sculptor, this was the absolute dream commission.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust about everyone in the world of confectionary has been inspired by the magic of Willy Wonka and Dahl\u2019s inventive storytelling one way or another, and I am certainly no exception.<\/p>\n
\u201cI grew up on the books, and watched the original Wilder Wonka film religiously every Easter and Christmas as a child \u2013 so to have had the chance to bring such an enduring character to life in chocolate has been such a labour of love.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The new film, written and directed by Paul King, is based on Roald Dahl\u2019s literary classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.<\/p>\n
It follows the life of a young Wonka, chock-full of ideas, determined to change the world \u2013 and shows viewers the path he took to become the iconic character several generations have come to know and love.<\/p>\n
Wonka is released in UK cinemas this Friday, December 8, by Warner Bros.<\/p>\n
