SWEET SURPRISE

Remember the girl who played Violet Beauregarde in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory? Here’s what she looks like now

YOU will not believe what became of AnnaSophia Robb after the Johnny Depp movie

THE ROALD Dahl classic Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is one of the most celebrated books from the timeless children author.

In the 2005 recreation of the intriguing fantasy story, Johnny Depp took on the roll as the mysterious Willy Wonka while pushy Violet Beauregarde was played by little AnnaSophia Robb.

Violet had a preened bob and stroppy glare, and you’ll remember that she managed to turn herself into a giant blueberry following an unfortunate chewing gum incident.

At the end of the scene, a bright blue and very swollen Violet was rolled off to the juicing room where she would be squeezed “like a little pimple”.

Fortunately actress AnnaSophia made it out of the chocolate factory alive and these days she is all grown up.

She has had a number of high profile acting rolls including playing the main character’s love interest in indie comedy The Way Way Back and playing Leslie Burke in Bridge to Terabithia.

 She has since starred as Carrie in the Sex and the City prequel 'The Carrie Diaries'

But if you’re thinking you recognise her but not from those movies, you probably caught her playing the lead role of Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City prequel “The Carrie Diaries”.

The series shows how the Cosmo-loving girls initially met and sheds some light on how Carrie developed a passion for writing and fashion.

AnnaSophia is reportedly still friends with co-star Julia Winter who played spoilt millionairess Veruca Salt.
