Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo FULL Wicked Movie Interview in Sydney

[@thatgirldonofrmPHILLY]

i’m glad ariana included cynthia in almost every question even if they weren’t directed towards her. the interview should’ve had seperate questions directed to both

[@itslipetv]

Ariana consistently ensures Cynthia is part of the conversation, which is refreshing to see. It’s been frustrating that interviews often focus more on Ariana, with questions about her music or makeup line rather than the movie. Cynthia, who’s incredibly talented and the film’s lead, deserves more of the spotlight. Fortunately, Ariana seems mindful of this and frequently redirects attention back to Cynthia.

[@pxtheticfxllxcy]

As a casual listener of Ariana, I have to say she is so humble and has so much grace. I love how, throughout the WICKED press tour, she always includes Cynthia in her questions that are clearly directed to her alone (REM Beauty, tour etc). She does not want to take any spotlight from her Wicked co-star and that is just a beautiful display of her character.

[@foreveranqel.]

I feel bad for Cynthia that so many of the questions were directed to Ariana for her music and makeup. I bet that happens in almost every interview. Props to Ariana for making sure to include Cynthia in her answers.

[@ArianaGramsci]

I love how Ari tried her best to correct this interview since the interviewer didn't understand they were there to talk about Wicked and not Ari's other projects. I'm a total Arianator (duh, just look at my name), but really understanding what is being promoted is key for a good interview.

[@wlther]

bro the only reason cynthia was included was because ariana made sure she was.. cynthia is the MAIN CHARACTER but instead of asking her questions you ask about tour and rem beauty which has nothing to do with wicked. i say this as a huge fan of ari btw, nothing against her but the way cynthia is being excluded is so so sad to see.

[@anhelobrown]

i honestly agree. i love that even the questions were addressed to ari. she tried to include cynthia

[@pward00]

I understand that Ariana is a popstar, but Cynthia is one award away from being an EGOT, she has a GET and is double Oscar nominated. They both have talents to bring to the table.

[@joq651]

AND the star of the movie....incase anyone forgot...

[@SakuraNozomi]

I love how Ariana Grande in the whole interview is sharing the spotlight to her co star Cynthia Erivo

[@clary3350]

Ariana is so mature and poised I’m glad she noticed Cynthia not being asked anything and included her in. This “interviewers” need to be professional and include the MAIN character in questioning or stay home

[@GuyNamedRy]

I understand you have Ari in a room and want the scoop of HER tour.. but she is there to discuss a film she made with a CO star next to her.. lol she answered that great “WE will come back here asap”

[@victoriat7961]

this was a fine interview, the music/tour question was out of place. ariana expertly diverted it by referring to the press tour with cynthia. i’m a huge ariana stan but let’s remember that elphaba is the protagonist of this film and cynthia deserves questions about her experience as well.

[@musicbydemarcus]

So was the REM question not out of place as well?

[@victoriat7961]

@ it was !

[@sheilaschofield5013]

The question of the how did they find out was too big a question for a speed interview and left him rushing and focusing on Ariana at the end

[@Ella-fv4hm]

This was extremely unprofessional. Include questions directed at BOTH of them. Ariana was clearly trying to include Cynthia when possible.

[@OscarHernandez-dj3yv]

By far the rudest interview this promotion cycle. Every single question was Ariana and none were for Cynthia. Im the biggest fan of Ariana, but this movie is about both of them. I'm glad Ariana included Cynthia in her responses but wow.

[@chris.thespookygay]

You only focused on Ariana and you should be ashamed! Cynthia is an award winning actress and singer! My god…GIVE THE WOMAN THE RESPECT SHE DESERVES!!

[@pixiebabita]

2:30 Ari clocked it so quick that the interviewer was only interested in her and not Cynthia. She was trying to steer the spotlight off of herself and share some with Cynthia. Love Ari sm for that.

[@StuffByChloste]

EW, why would you thank only one of the main actors that you’re interviewing, AFTER only focusing on that actor like you just won a fan contest ? Weird and unprofessional vibes

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

That’s just so kind of Ariana to focus on Cynthia!

[@VTTVpsycho]

Is it just me or was the interviewer kinda ignoring Cynthia? Pretty much all of his questions were directed towards Ariana and she just included Cynthia in them.

[@JackieWarner13]

When he announced he was doing an interview he said Ariana grande is going to be on his radio show no mention of anyone else from the cast also he's a night radio host & probably just wants to try get info on Ariana if she'd tour here or about her music.

[@brunosalada7790]

[@silkszn5058]

what’s the point in asking pop star ariana/r.e.m. focused questions when it’s both of these ladies press tour :/

[@Blank_e2v]

The way Ariana included Cynthia in all of the questions because the guy was mainly asking her questions and saying nothing to Cynthia😒 was lowkey annoying but that just shows the kind of person Ariana is

[@dvalinm]

He had one job, ask THEM questions and he only directed to Ari, this shows how good as a person she is, trying to include the main character... this is wild

[@FluffKambach]

Huge, huge, huge shout to Ariana for including Cynthia into the conversation. It’s been so annoying to see so many people interviewing both of them are focusing majority of our attention on Ariana herself. Especially when it comes down to what they’re asking, always about music or her makeup line. This is a wicked press tour, at least stay on topic and talk about things related to the movie. Cynthia is so talented and is the main character of the movie but it’s been very Ariana show. She seems very aware of this as well and is always trying to divert the attention to Cynthia or at least include her. Love me some Ariana, but it’s becoming so obvious these days. it honestly goes out to the rest of the cast as well. Those of them that have been invited to shows or interviews by themselves only get asked about Ariana. It’s truly insane and rude.

So disrespectful. Kudos to Ariana for including Cynthia, the other main star in the questions asked. Even though, disrespectfully, it should have been you. 🫵🏾

[@staciaallen3330]

Honesty, I really have to say something like… I really didn’t like the way how the interviewer was spending way too much time focusing on Ariana when he was supposed to be focusing on Cynthia too because she is a big part of Wicked as Ariana too. It was so disrespectful & disappointing on his part. I’m so very happy & glad that Ariana included Cynthia. I really love Ariana a lot because she has been so mature, well spoken, sweet, down to earth, kind, outgoing, humble & most considerate person to ever exist. Ariana really handled it like a classy person with so much respect & grace. I really love how throughout the whole entire Wicked press tour, One thing I gotta respect Ariana is the fact that She will ALWAYS includes Cynthia in every topic & interview she is ALWAYS on by including Cynthia in her questions that are clearly directed to her alone. That interviewer was asking Ariana questions about R.E.M. Beauty, & Tour. I feel like He should’ve asked them more questions that is relating to Wicked. He should’ve asked them questions about Wicked, Casting, Filming, Characters, Roles, Working with Jon, & everything
