Amid the success of the sequel “Wicked: For Good”, actress Cynthia Erivo took the time to talk in detail about the great friendship she forged with her co-star Ariana Grande, as well as the experiences she had as part of the project. This is how, for the first time, she addressed the incident in Singapore in which a fan rushed at the singer while they were both walking the red carpet. In an interview with Savannah Guthrie for the Today show, the actress who plays 'Elphaba' in the classic story stated that her reaction to the incident was natural and guided by her sisterly instinct. Images circulating on social media show the exact moment Cynthia Erivo pushes the man away in just seconds, using her strength. "I wasn't thinking clearly... I just wanted to make sure my friend was safe. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm, but you never know with these things, and I wanted to make sure she was okay. That was my first instinct," she declared to the cameras. According to the Emmy winner, the bond between them goes beyond the professional sphere, as During filming, they got to know each other deeply and forged a friendship that she's sure will last a lifetime. "We're like sisters right now. And I think we've both learned from each other and given each other really beautiful gifts. We've supported each other a lot throughout all of this," Cynthia Erivo reiterated. It was on November 12th that Ariana Grande had a tremendous scare in Singapore after a fan bypassed security and reached her on the red carpet at the premiere of "Wicked: For Good." While it all ended without a scare, the near-miss sparked concern among the artist's fans, who chose to keep a low profile and not comment on the matter.
