Timothee Chalamet and Elle Fanning fans go wild as the costars re-create Wicked 'holding space' meme

As a seasoned observer of human interactions, I find the situation between Ariana and Cynthia intriguing. It seems they had a communication breakdown that was amplified by the enigmatic interviewer, which resulted in a humorous meme.

Their experience underscores the importance of clear, concise, and empathetic communication. In today’s world where technology connects us instantly, it’s easy to overlook the nuances of human interaction. The fact that they both felt relieved when realizing their shared confusion speaks volumes about the power of connection in a seemingly disconnected world.

Now, let me share a little joke that comes to my mind: I often wonder if Alexander Graham Bell ever had a moment like this with his invention – one person saying “Watson, come here, I want you” and the other responding, “You’re breaking up, can you repeat that?” (Pause for laughter)

In all seriousness, it’s fascinating to see how these situations unfold and how they ultimately bring people together. The shared experience of confusion, relief, and humor serves as a reminder that we are more alike than different. Let’s strive to communicate effectively and empathetically in our daily lives, for the sake of clarity and connection.

Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning sparked excitement among fans by recreating the popular “holding space” meme originally shared by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in a playful manner.

In November, co-stars Grande and Erivo became a trend on social media following an awkward hand-grasp reaction towards journalist Tracy Gilchrist, who mentioned that fans were emotionally supporting lyrics from the popular movie musical by ‘holding space’ for them.

During a Monday interview regarding Chalamet and Fanning’s parts in the Bob Dylan biopic titled “A Complete Unknown”, Gilchrist couldn’t help but bring up the popular internet joke.

As a seasoned storyteller, I’ve found that creating empathy is crucial when engaging audiences with complex narratives. In this case, when she addressed Chalamet and Fanning as Dylan and Sylvie Russo, respectively, it was clear she was establishing an emotional bond between them and the audience. By expressing that she was “holding space” for them, I believe she meant she was offering understanding, support, and a safe space for their characters’ journeys to unfold. This approach not only enhances the performance but also deepens the connection between the actors and viewers, making the story more immersive and impactful.

Swiftly and amusingly, the famous Hollywood actors recreated the well-known finger-grasping scene, as Chalamet stretched out his index finger and Fanning lightly pinched it between her thumb and pointer finger in a playful manner.

Social media erupted in hilarity, as one supporter exclaimed, “It’s great when everyone can join in on the funny!” (or “It’s fun when others can also share the joke!”)

Another joked, ‘I’m holding space for holding space at the start of every interview.’

Yet another chimed in, ‘Oh my god not the finger hold,’ followed by a laughing emoji.

After Grande and Erivo both expressed their responses to the peculiar “holding space” meme that they were involved in during the Wicked press tour, they engaged in some leisurely activity.

They admitted they had ‘no idea’ what Gilchrist was talking about when they mustered a response. 

Cynthia confessed her astonishment, as she wasn’t aware due to not having checked,” regarding the rumored social media posts that sparked Gilchrist’s reaction.

Ariana stated that the journalist seemed hesitant or undecided in her reply when asked about the rumored posts.

‘I had no idea that this thing was going on,’ Cynthia reiterated in her Variety interview. 

Ariana admitted that she couldn’t make sense of anything in it, and her confusion seemed to amuse Jon, since she said it quite straightforwardly.

She added: “I found myself thinking, ‘Now, what exactly did she mention, and what did he convey?’ I felt compelled to be present [with Cynthia] since I could sense a significant event unfolding, and I wasn’t sure how to offer support.

After that, the revised interview included a brief clip showing Ariana seemingly gripping Cynthia’s finger, reminiscent of the original meme and perhaps symbolizing her support.

Eventually, it seemed, Cynthia found herself unsure of what to do next, which prompted laughter from her superior.

In an attempt to clarify, let me put it this way: Initially, her words resonated with her, but they struck a completely different chord within me. Later, she seemed to be heading down a different path, and in that moment, I found myself questioning whether I was comprehending correctly or if there had been some miscommunication.

Since Cynthia seems on the verge of tears once more, I feel like I’m going to touch her finger as I believe she might require assistance, and I’m unsure what the tapping of her finger means.

‘Tension,’ Cynthia suggested.

Then Cynthia said she was thrown off by Gilchrist’s announcement that she worked in ‘queer media.’

She expressed her confusion by saying, “To be honest, I wasn’t sure about its meaning. Could it be possible that I’m featured in LGBTQ+ media as well?” She asked this with a hint of uncertainty.

Ariana expressed a more optimistic outlook, stating that she felt “relieved” because others also shared her positive experience during the interview.

‘Because I felt like, “Oh, I’m not broken,”‘ she added. 

Later on, Cynthia switched things around and shared her appreciation for the musical rendition of the interview by the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus.

Ariana replied that she hadn’t seen it, but then poked fun at Gilchrist by correcting herself.

She agreed with what Gilchrist said, indicating that she too was familiar with the enigmatic and somewhat intangible social media posts which, according to him, had sparked his initial inquiry.

The director of Wicked didn’t have much new information to share, since he confessed that he was in another room during Ariana and Cynthia’s initial interview. However, he playfully suggested that he could feel the emergence of a meme coming to life.
