Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo discussed how they 'took care of one another' during their emotional, much-mocked press tour for Jon M. Chu's $150M-budget big-screen adaptation of the 2003 Broadway musical. 'We are,' the 31-year-old pop star said in their Variety cover story on Thursday.
'I feel so grateful and proud of how present we've been able to be. A lot of people have come up to us and been like, "How you holding up?" with a long face. And we've just peeked at each other and been like, "We're grateful and floating."'. The globetrotting belters had a habit of welling up at the slightest prompting during their international premieres and press junkets like when Jake's Takes asked how they changed each other on November 8.

Ariana and the British 37-year-old also liberally used therapy-speak buzz words like 'holding space' in an interview with Out Magazine on November 21. 'We can giggle at it all we want, because we're quite funny. I've watched and had a giggle,' Grande (born Butera) admitted.
