Ariana Grande Kept Cynthia Erivos Elphaba Ears

Being in Wicked was a life-long dream come true for Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda in the feature adaptation of the hit Broadway musical. Getting to be part of the world has been huge for her, so it makes sense that she kept some souvenirs from the set to remember the experience including a key prop that helped transform Cynthia Erivo into Elphaba. For anyone on the internet who has been holding space for the friendship between Grande and Erivo, the duo has talked about their matching for good and poppy tattoos as part of all the ways they have expressed their love for one another like the real life Glinda and Elphie they are. Recently a new addition to their bestie lore has been revealed: Grande does actually have in her possession Erivos prosthetic ears from the shoot. In Grandes recent interview with BBC Radio 1, the Oscar nominee confirmed it, and revealed where exactly she keeps her odd keepsake of a piece of Elphabas body. So right now theyre just next to the printer, like with like pens and printer and then like Cynthias ears. (The props were made to cover the piercings on Erivos her real ears.) But sometimes if Im having guests over, if I put out a tray of whatever, Ill just kind of leave them nearby to see if anyone gets a little confused. Grande quickly interjected, Im just kidding, Ive never done that, but I will. No, yeah, theyre next to the printer for now. Framing them is weird. It makes us wonder what Erivo might have kept of Glindas from the film, and if its as much of a choice as Grandes trinkets. Friends honor each other in so many unique ways and the way the duo gush over each other is a tribute to their love of their Wickedcharacters.The interview with Grande goes on to discuss one of her favorite moments during the shoot: when Erivo winked at Grande during the films pivotal Defying Gravity performance to help anchor the actress in Glindas strength. It nearly broke Grande out of character, but she held it togetherIts a very emotional moment, Grande said of that powerful and affirming gestureand director Jon M. Chu kept it in the final cut. I think its very hard to say goodbye to someone that you love. And I think in that moment, were both breaking. And I think the wink was so generous and warm because I think she knows how hard it is for Glinda to open up and cry and to become emotional like that, Grande said. Thats why Im trying so hard not to, and Im crying throughIm smiling through theand Im trying not Im holding back and shes just like, Ive got you, its okay.'Grande continued, And I think thats what is so beautiful about Defying Gravity is that its the true example of unconditional love. It is saying to someone, I recognize that we can no longer grow together. We have to grow apart and I want that for you because I know its right and best for you but it just isnt right and best for me. Weve got this. And the wink is such aits such a loud way of saying that. Watch the rest of the interview below: Wicked is out now in theaters and on digital.Wicked: For Goodopens this Thanksgiving.
