Duke’s creative platform and willingness to go for new, adventurous ideas quickly led to his famous TikTok account where he portrays the character, Willy Wonka.

While playing this character, he is sure to tie in the classics memories of the character like his famous chewing up, tour guide guests, and the adorable Umpa Lumpa’s. 

Willy Wonka’s followers thrived off of the account from the very beginning. Tiktok contains a wide variety of users, who have provided a mixture of trending content. But what is better than a classic chocolatier coming back? A classic chocolatier who interacts with all his fans and dances while doing it! Duke is able to interact with his fan base periodically through their comments, “dueting” of his videos, and live streaming as Willy Wonka. The viewers have shown their obsession by helping Duke reach hundreds of millions of views. Some have even openly developed a crush on Dukes’ Willy Wonka, while others are seeking entertainment and a trip down memory lane.
