Another cast member fromGlasgow’s disastrous Willy Wonka eventis speaking out, this time giving viewers a peek behind The Unknown’s mysterious mask.
Glasgow’s “immersive experience” has been the talk of the internet after attendees paid £35 ($44) to wonder about a mostly empty warehouse with sparse decorations and limited candy.
The ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’ event was advertised as an invitation to “indulge in a chocolate fantasy like never before,” but left ticket buyers less than impressed.
More and morecast members are speaking outabouttheir brief time on the productionbefore it was swiftly shut down. The latest to dish out tea is none other than the young actress behind the iconic and unexpected additional character, ‘The Unknown.’
While many have claimed to have been behind the mask,only one has come with receiptsand was seen in previous cast photos: Felicia. Taking toher TikTok account, Felicia revealed what it was like on set and just how The Unknown came into existence.

“The only direction that I got given was to act creepy so I tried to imagine what a man living in the walls should be like,” Felicia continued. “Some people loved it, some people hated it, some people were left traumatized, some people had no clue what was going on — including myself.”
Describing the experience and its notoriety as a “fever dream,” Felicia claimed in a third TikTok that the event included “zero preparation” with no rehearsal and only vague directions.
Nonetheless, she stated the cast had grown close and had been supporting one another since the event’s unexpected sudden fame.
Felicia also revealed that her character, The Unknown was originally planned to have had a final showdown with Wonka himself. However, the plot point “got scrapped” after a “giant hoover” needed for the fight did not exist on set.
With The Unknown becoming an iconic part of the disastrous event, Felicia encouraged her followers to help create some lore surrounding the new character.
