Wicked star Cynthia Erivo opens up about her 'treasured' friendship with Ariana Grande during heartfelt interview on The Project
Cynthia Erivo has opened up about her deep and meaningful friendship with pop superstar Ariana Grande during an emotional appearance on Australia's The Project on Wednesday night. The powerhouse performer, who stars alongside Grande in the highly-anticipated Wicked film, spoke candidly about the trust and creative connection they've built behind the scenes. 'I really appreciate and treasure her opinion,' Cynthia said when asked about her bond with Ariana. 'I trust her – like what she hears, I trust it. If I'm like, 'Oh, I'm not sure about this,' I'll send it to her and ask, 'Have a listen to this, what do you think?' Because not many people are made like her.' Erivo went on to say the two artists share a rare understanding of one another, especially when it comes to their creativity. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'She understands how I'm made. I understand how she's made musically and creatively. So to be able to share some of that work has been really, really wonderful actually. She's one of a kind,' Cynthia said. Their close friendship blossomed while filming the two-part movie adaptation of the Broadway hit Wicked, in which Cynthia plays Elphaba and Ariana portrays Glinda. Elsewhere in the interview, the Oscar-nominated actress reflected on self-growth and the importance of setting boundaries in both personal and professional life. 'Self-advocacy starts with knowing who you are – not in anyone else's eyes, but your own,' she shared. 'Then there's the scary thing of going, 'I think there are some relationships I need to let go of.' Becoming brave enough to make the changes you need in your life to get what you want – not just in your work or creativity, but also in the people you allow around you.' Cynthia's insight comes just months before Universal Pictures dropped the first trailer for Wicked: For Good. The sequel will hit cinemas on November 21, with a first look at the movie conclusion of the Broadway hit teasing the fate of the protagonists and a first look at new characters. The sequel follows Elphaba and Glinda's friendship after Elphaba was banished from Oz. Elphaba is living in exile in the forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) Elphaba is living in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity as she prepares to tie the knot with Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey). She is also working under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh) to convince the citizens of Oz that they have nothing to fear when it comes to The Wizard. Yet behind the scenes, Glinda is attempting to reconcile Elphaba and The Wizard, which only results in her being drawn further apart from her friend. As a result Boq (Ethan Slater) and Fiyero are set to be changed forever, while the safety of Elphaba's sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode) comes into question. Just as tensions in Oz reach an all time high, a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. Fans went wild at the first glimpse of Dorothy - who was seen walking along the yellow brick road with the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow.

Freddy Brazier goes on bowling date with blonde influencer as it's revealed he's living with nan Jackiey amid Jeff feud
FREDDY Brazier has been spotted enjoying a bowling day out with a stunning social media star. The 20-year-old headed out with glamorous Tasha Newcombe who boasts a whopping 65,000 followers. 5 5 5 Freddy took to his Instagram stories to share a snap of Roxy Ballroom where he enjoyed his afternoon outing with Tasha. He didn't share any further details of their trip out nor did he upload any snaps of Tasha - instead choosing to tag her in his post. Tasha also re-shared the post to her own Instagram stories. His outing comes after it was revealed that the model and Celebrity Race Across The World star had moved in with his nan Jackiey Budden in her Bermondsey home. Jackiey, who has lived in the London area close to Tower Bridge all her life, has been spending an increasing amount of time with her grandson amid his feud with TV star father Jeff. It is understood that he has been living at her South London home despite the legal row launched by his father Jeff, 46, to block Jackiey from seeing him. Freddy, 20, was just four-years-old and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby, was five when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 after a seven month battle with cancer and he has since been raised by his dad. Since then, Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant took legal action for his son's wellbeing. Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row A source told the publication: "Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long – they've always had a strong bond. "Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much. "They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years. "Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn't worked." This comes after we spotted Freddy smoking a joint with his former reality TV star grandmother near Tower Bridge in full view of tourists. Our exclusive photos and video show them smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette as Jackiey was seen to be 'acting erratically' with her grandson. An onlooker remarked: "The pair were puffing away in the open, in full view of tourists passing by and there was an aromatic smell in the air. The source added: "She appeared to be acting erratically." 5 5
