Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and we've got photo updates on the kids who toured Willy Wonka's place.

1 of 7

Freddie Highmore (Charlie Bucket)

Freddie began his acting career at age 7. Following his success as Charlie Bucket in this film, he went on to such features as August Rush, The Spiderwick Chronicles, the BBC film Toast, Master Harold… and the Boys and The Art of Getting By. But he’s probably gained the most attention for playing evolving serial killer Norman Bates in A&E’s Bates Motel.

Philip Wiegratz (Augustus Gloop)

The success of Charlie definitely opened doors for Philip. He was featured in a number of German films and TV shows, including Lore and Rubinrot, and a German version of A Christmas Carol.

Jordan Fry (Mike Teavee)

Jordan followed Charlie by providing his voice to the character of “Lewis” in Disney’s animated film Meet the Robinsons. After that, he pursued music, academics and athletics other than acting. He has supported such efforts as Power of Youth, Read Across America, The Elizabeth Glaser Foundation, the United Way, Children’s Hospital L.A. Relay For Life and St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Deep Roy (Oompa Loopa)

There looked like hundreds of Oompa Loompa's working in Willy Wonka’s factory, but all of them were played by the stuntman. Some of his post-Charlie credits are Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the rebooted Star Trek films and HBO’s Eastbound & Down. The actor stands tall at 4’4”.

5 of 7

Johnny Depp (Willy Wonka)

Nobody’s got the time necessary to list all of Johnny’s post-Charlie credits, but he starred in three sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean (with a fourth coming in 2017), Public Enemy, Alice in Wonderland, The Rum Diary, Dark Shadows, The Lone Ranger, Black Mass and more on the way. Johnny’s relationship with long-time girlfriend Vanessa Paradis came to an end in 2012. The pair have two children, Lily-Rose Melody Depp and John “Jack” Christopher. Also in 2012, he began dating model Amber Heard. They were married in February 2015.

AnnaSophia Robb (Violet Beauregarde)

After playing the competitive and boastful Violet, AnnaSophia went on to such films as Bridge to Terabithia, Race to Witch Mountain, Soul Surfer, and The Way, Way Back. She has most famously played Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw on the CW prequel TV series The Carrie Diaries. Next year she’ll be seen in the feature A Conspiracy on Jekyll Island. As of 2014, she enrolled at New York University.

Julia Walter (Veruca Salt)

Julia is a tough one to track down: Her role as Veruca was her first professional acting gig and it seems to have been her last. From all descriptions, it seems that she was an active acting student, taking weekly drama lessons at a part-time theatre school. All of that preparation seems to have paid off in that it landed her in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but all sources indicate that she never parlayed that success into additional roles.
