Jon M. Chu called Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo ‘hardcore’ after they got multiple matching Wicked tattoos
As I delve into the captivating world of Hollywood, I find myself utterly enthralled by the heartwarming camaraderie between Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, two powerhouse talents who have graced us with their exceptional performances in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked. Their bond, forged on the set, seems to transcend the usual celebrity friendship, as they share a unique connection that has blossomed into a deep friendship, evident from their five-hour FaceTime conversations.
In a lively conversation, renowned movie director Jon M. Chu affectionately described Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as having strong personalities and deep dedication, as they both got several identical tattoos together.
31-year-old Grande and 37-year-old Erivo discussed their multiple matching tattoos in memory of the movie, during their interview on SiriusXM Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon, which took place on Tuesday.
The performer, both a singer and an actress, expressed that their director was taken aback when they secured the role in the project prior to its completion of filming. This statement refers to the individual who has raised worries due to their noticeably slim figure in recent times.
She remembered him saying, “We still have more to do,” to which she responded, “Right. Is it perhaps best if we don’t proceed with this?
Grandé, the actress portraying Glinda, mentioned that certain tattoos can be revealed openly, yet others remain hidden as secrets.
Erivo, the actress portraying Elphaba, explained to Symon that they both had “For Good” inked on their hands, a nod to the duet from the musical.
Later on, Grande remarked, ‘They bear our poppy tattoos’ – referring to the flowers adorning the sides of their hands.
In the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, poppies made an appearance, causing Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) to fall asleep. Similarly, they can be found in the story Wicked as well.
They previously shared photos of the tattoos on their Instagram Stories earlier this year.
Erivo also said, ‘I have my hat and my broom.’
Simultaneously, Ariana mentioned, “I have Glinda as she appeared in L. Frank Baum’s 1901 original book, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.’
Ariana, who has over 60 tattoos, has the Glinda The Good Witch tattoo on her hand.
Erivo also shared she has a tattoo of Elphaba’s line, ‘Maybe some of us are just different.’
In that instant while they were both getting their tattoos, Grande contemplated, ‘I hope they appreciate it.’
‘It is what it is. It’s here,’ Erivo quipped.
Grande then stated ‘It’s on us.’
During the program, they delved into their strong bond of friendship and shared that they managed to keep in contact after concluding the filming process.
Erivo admitted the duo’s five-hour FaceTime conversations are ‘ridiculous.’
Grande mentioned that she would phone to spend time together, and Erivo responded by saying her friend would call during her nail appointment, which usually lasts about five hours.
At times, I believe she might want to end the call, but I carry on and on, Grande humorously implied.
Instead of saying “No. I’m like, ‘Keep going,'” Erivo responded, “Go ahead, let’s continue,” she said. “We manage to keep the conversation flowing for five hours, and it’s delightful because my mind is distracted from the current situation, so I’m just enjoying our chat.
Ariana previously shared they got the ‘For Good’ tattoo on April 24, 2023.
When the star shared a note that seemed to contain sketches for a Glinda tattoo, along with a single speech bubble.
On Tuesday, it was reported by Gold Derby that Grande is now considered one of the top five candidates for Best Supporting Actress at the 2025 Oscars, thanks to her portrayal of The Good Witch of the South.
Part one of Wicked hits US theaters November 27 followed by the second part on November 26, 2025.
As a dedicated follower, I’m thrilled to be part of the team for this $145M production, where my real-life partner Ethan Slater, Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum lend their talent. What an incredible cast!
This past Friday, Ariana was nominated in three categories, one of them being ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ for Eternal Sunshine, during the 67th Grammy Awards. The event will be aired on CBS starting February 2nd.
