Apparently Everybody Loves Oz




The comedy actor Jack Black is currently starring in a new family movie Gulliver’s Travels, a big screen adaptation of Jonathan Swift’s celebrated 18th-century novel.

Jack has revealed he is a huge fan of family films, adding the classic 1939 movie about a young girl called Dorothy - played by Judy Garland - who wakes up in the Land of Oz, pleases him like no other.

“My favourite? Well obviously The Wizard of Oz,” he told Cover Media at a press conference for his latest movie.

The 41-year-old star went on to talk about actors who have inspired him during his career. Jack says Gene Wilder’s acerbic delivery of the title character in 1971’s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory thrills him.

“That’s probably my favourite performance in a kids’ film,” he explained. “What’s that guy’s name? Gene Wilder. Because he had that insane intensity along with his comedy.”
