Actor Paris Themmen, who played Mike Teavee in the 1971 film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” is reported to have appeared in Los Angeles, where photos show him at age 67.
Both outlets identify the role as Mike Teavee, the television-obsessed boy in the Gene Wilder-led movie. The articles focus on his public appearance in LA and include his age in connection with the “see him now” framing. Neither source provides additional new details about the film’s production, his later career, or any other contemporary events, and both largely restate the same basic background: his standout child acting role in the 1971 classic.
