Mr. Gloop is Augustus Gloop's father. Like his wife, he was never given a first name. In the 1971 version, he is described as being a rich man. While Augustus is being interviewed, Mr. Gloop is gorging himself. When a reporter asks a question of Mr. Gloop, it gets interrupted as Mr. Gloop makes no remark and actually bites the head off the microphone; likely because he was so engaged in gluttony he considered it being offered food. In the 2005 version he also is portrayed as a butcher. He stands in the background of his son's interview, making sausage into links. In the musical, he actually does have one line, and he hand-feeds his son a sausage. But he isn't seen again after that.
His appearance varies greatly across the adaptations. In 1971 he has gray hair and wears a suit. In 2005 he is bald with a mustache and wears a striped green cardigan. In the musical he has curly red hair and glasses and wears a typical butcher's apron.
Trivia[]
- It is heavily implied that he is deceased in the Broadway version of the musical, as his wife and son make the sign of the cross whenever they talk about him.
