Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are celebrating the success of their film adaptation of Wicked. In a recent interview with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Ariana discussed the collaborative process with her co-star Cynthia, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring equal treatment throughout the adaptation. The two actresses cultivated sincere trust during their work together.

What Ariana said

During the conversation, Ariana Grande expressed, "We frequently discuss the commitment we made to support one another and to maintain complete honesty about any issues that may arise. However, I believe that people do not fully comprehend the extent to which we have delved into this agreement and how sincerely we uphold it. When I received my contract, I reached out to [Cynthia] and said, ‘Let’s review this document together, step by step, to ensure we are on the same page regarding our needs.' If [she requires] something, it is essential that we address it collectively. I want us to support one another. Your challenges become my challenges, and mine become yours."

She continued, "It is difficult to convey the true depth of this commitment. We began establishing this bond long before we arrived on set. I believe it was a crucial aspect of the work we accomplished. I am truly thankful because one of my greatest sources of pride is how we have cared for each other."
