Ariana Grande Drops Bombshell About Who She’s Falling For
Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey have opened up about the special connection they developed while working together on the set of Wicked. In an interview with PEOPLE magazine, the pair discussed how their shared theatrical roots helped foster a unique chemistry both on and off-screen.
As their characters’ love story unfolded in the musical adaptation, Grande revealed that their on-screen romance mirrored their growing friendship in real life. “As their characters fell for each other on screen, we were falling for each other as friends in real life, too,” Grande shared. “That was such a beautiful part of it. We had the most beautiful time.”
Bailey, who gained global recognition through his role in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, also shared lighthearted moments with Grande during their chat. Grande admitted she had yet to fully immerse herself in Bridgerton, saying, “I kind of missed the boat, but I need to get on it. I watched all your scenes.”
Bailey playfully responded, “Do you know what? That boat is setting sail and you can jump on it in a few years’ time.” He hinted at the series’ longevity and the potential for future seasons, adding, “There’s still, I think, a good few more years and a few more characters and hopefully stringed arrangements for all these songs.”
The mutual admiration between the two stars underscores the close-knit camaraderie they shared while bringing Wicked to life. With both actors rooted in the world of performance and musical storytelling, their collaboration on the film has added a deeper dimension to their roles.
Wicked, the highly anticipated film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, explores the untold backstory of Elphaba and Glinda in the magical land of Oz. Grande plays the role of Glinda, while Bailey brings his talents to the role of Fiyero.
As the film’s release approaches, fans are eager to see the dynamic between the two stars come to life on screen, a chemistry built on genuine connection and shared passion for their craft.
