The zany chocolatier from the classic children’s book Charlie and The Chocolate Factory would be incomplete without his cane.

“When I make my first entrance, I’d like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp,” he said, according to Letters of Note. “After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I’m walking on and stands straight up, by itself; but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause.”

When asked why, he responded, “Because from that time on, no one will know if I’m lying or telling the truth.”

As we know now, his request was granted, and that one scene is now one of the most memorable in the film.
