Gene Wilder, the loveable Willy Wonka has passed away aged 83.

Loved that song 'Pure Imagination'

His role in many films was brilliant.

I honestly thought he'd died a couple of years back. RIP.

No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen"

Ah that's sad to hear. Himself and Richard Pryor were a great double act in some of my favourite films when I was younger.

Not sure if it aged well but loved Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor as a kid

Ah jaysus

See No Evil Hear No Evil was a classic

That was actually the first film I remember recording on VHS. Haven't seen it in a while now but a great film.

For some reason I thought he was dead a few years. Well RIP.

ClovenHoof · 29-08-2016 08:34PM

His performance in Willy Wonka was one of the greatest acting roles in movie history.

Let's also not forget the movies he made with Richard Pryor.

He also made a movie in Ireland. Quacker Fortune Has a Brother in the Bronx. A charming movie.

I only saw 'see no evil, hear no evil' for the first time on Netflix last week. Was giggling all the way through. Loved it.

Titzon Toast · 29-08-2016 08:38PM

Damn, sad news indeed.

Gael23 · 29-08-2016 08:38PM

There's still 4 months of 2016 to go.

Penny Tration · 29-08-2016 08:39PM

Ah no

mdwexford · 29-08-2016 08:39PM

Legend.

RIP.

Witchie · 29-08-2016 08:39PM

Sad to see him go. Blazing Saddles, See no evil, hear no evil and Willy Wonka are 3 movies I will watch every time they are on tv. Love those movies. Stir Crazy was great too as was The Producers.

Feck ya 2016.

keno-daytrader · 29-08-2016 08:39PM

Silver Streak, an all time classic! RIP

Sheriff: "Are we awake?"

Wilder: "We are not sure, are we black?"

Sheriff: "Yes"

Wilder: "Then we're awake".

Blazing saddles, what a film.

Sheriff: You ain't no wako kid...

Wilder: look at my hand...

Sheriff: Solid as a rock!

Wilder: yea but I shoot with this hand!!!

*raises other hand and it shaking terribly.

Loved him, saw him interviewed in the late late years ago and really liked him. Was he sick?

PowerToWait · 29-08-2016 08:46PM

I may now finally have to grow up.

RIP Gene Wilder
