Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the stars of the acclaimed film adaptation of the musical 'Wicked', are showing that their friendship is stronger than anyone thought. The most tangible proof of this bond is a permanent gesture: a shared tattoo with the words 'For Good,' the title of the highly anticipated sequel. The 32-year-old singer revealed a series of photos on Instagram on November 1st with her co-star, where both are sporting the new tattoo on the palms of their hands. “Happy Wicked month, 20 days,” Grande wrote in the post, counting down to the premiere of 'Wicked: For Good,' scheduled for November 21st. A friendship on and off screen. The chemistry between Ariana Grande (Glinda) and Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) became one of the most talked-about elements during the filming of the movie, directed by Jon M. Chu. The filmmaker himself, 46, highlighted in an interview with People magazine that it was “one of the most beautiful friendships to watch grow.” "They are two of the most powerful voices in the world, perhaps of our generation. They could have competed, but they always put 'Wicked' above everything else. That demonstrates their greatness as artists: they immersed themselves in the characters and, in doing so, found a part of themselves in them," Chu stated. The director also acknowledged that the genuine friendship between the actresses elevated Glinda and Elphaba's story to another level. "I think that because of what they brought to the table, the characters feel bigger than ever. They allow us to get to know them more intimately. And that made my job much easier," he noted. Cynthia Erivo has also spoken openly about her artistic relationship with Ariana Grande. During a Canva Create event in April, the actress and singer confessed: "Singing with Ariana is really exhilarating, a little addictive. There's a wonderful synergy when you work with someone who understands you, who can look you in the eye and know exactly what you need without you having to say a word."

Erivo explained that the key to their joint success lies in listening and vulnerability. “When voices come together,it means both are listening to each other. It's not about 'how I sound,' but about 'what you are doing.' And when both are on that same wavelength, anything is possible.”

For her part, Ariana Grande expressed—on several occasions—that she felt her meeting with Erivo was “meant to happen.” In a 2024 interview for the podcast 'Podcrushed,' the singer reflected on what she learned from her co-star: “Hopefully we both learned a lot from each other, but I learned so much from her as a person. Cynthia loves intensely and sincerely. She's a Capricorn who truly loves.”

The artist also noted that the differences between their characters reflect what could have been a challenge in real life. “When two such different people share such a big experience, you never know how it will turn out. But it was something completely symbiotic and beautiful.” The sequel 'For Good' will arrive in theaters on November 21.
