"HUGHMPA LOOMPA DOOPATY GRANT," the 27-year-old tweeted to his 2m followers, combining Grant's name with The Oompa Loompa song that goes, "Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do." The tweet sparked a wide mix of reactions from people, with some praising it as good promotion for the film while others thought the tweet was cringe.
