Ariana Grande is set to star in the upcoming fantasy film Wicked. The actress plays the character of Glinda in the movie, and her co-star, Michelle Yeoh, recalled fun incidents from behind the scenes of the film.

The Oscar-winning actress revealed that Grande wore a pink costume throughout the filming schedule on the sets, which also matched the color of the candies. Therefore, the actress-singer would hide some of the sweets in her costume.  

In conversation with People Magazine, Yeoh shared that as Grande stuffed her corset with candy, the crew members around would look at her, wondering what she was doing.

The actress who takes on the role of Madam Morrible in the movie revealed, “She’ll be eating, like, candy, and suddenly she’ll stuff it down her corset. We’re like, ‘What the heck?’ She goes, ‘By the end of the day, when I open my corset, all these things fall off!’”

Meanwhile, Grande and Yeoh will star in the new musical fantasy alongside Cynthia Erivo, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Bowen Yang, and the Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey. 

The movie revolves around Erivo, whose character is majorly disregarded due to her green skin. However, her friendship with Glinda is more for the generations. However, their bond takes a shocking turn after Elphaba’s encounter with the Wizard of Oz.
