What Mike Teavee From Charlie And The Chocolate Factory Looks Like Now

Publish date: 2024-03-23

One of the children invited into Willy Wonka's candy kingdom in 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was Mike Teavee, a snarky TV-obsessed youngster. Teavee was played by actor Jordan Fry.

Following the release of the film in 2005, the New York Post asked Fry how he was able to contort his face to make the hilarious facial gestures for his character. "Basically it's just human nature to give nasty looks, it wasn't that hard," a young Fry told the outlet. "The eyebrow one I've been practicing for a while — not to my parents though." In the film, Teavee is different from the other kids visiting the factory because he is disinterested in sweets. "I played the kid that didn't care about candy ... I was just destroying things," Fry said. The actor told the publication that he enjoyed the destruction he was allowed to cause on set.

According to his IMDb profile, Fry is originally from Spokane, Washington. Besides his role as Teavee, the actor appeared in 2006's Raising Flagg which starred Alan Arkin. Fry also did the voice of Lewis for Disney's Meet the Robinsons. He had a small part in the Amanda Seyfried thriller Gone, and had a role in the drama Big Life which completed production in February 2021.

The actor keeps fans updated on his day-to-day life through his Instagram account where he even occasionally posts Charlie and the Chocolate Factory throwbacks.
