In a recent interview with People, Wicked actor Bowen Yang couldn’t help but sing praises for his co-star Ariana Grande, expressing deep admiration for the multi-talented singer.
At 33, Yang opened up about his friendship with Grande, emphasizing his appreciation for her entire persona. “I mean, her whole demeanor. Her way of seeing the world,” he shared, underlining Ariana’s remarkable empathy, beauty, and emotional depth that vividly shines through in her music. Yang described her as an “incredibly empathetic, beautiful, feeling person.”
The Saturday Night Live alum didn’t stop there, highlighting Ariana’s sense of humor as a standout trait that makes her an ideal companion. “I just think that she’s hilarious, full-out funny. I think that she’s the perfect person for anybody to be around, no matter what capacity. So I love her,” he added, shedding light on the genuine affection he holds for Grande.
Beyond their on-screen connection, Yang and Ariana Grande share a common love for theater. The duo was recently spotted attending the Broadway drama Spamalot, featuring Ariana’s boyfriend, Grammy winner Ethan Slater.
Despite their mutual interest in the theatrical arts, Yang mentioned that their outing didn’t involve comparing theater notes. Instead, they both relished the experience of witnessing the show and appreciating the entire theatrical production. Reflecting on the evening, Yang expressed his joy at finally being able to see a Broadway show he missed during high school and relished the performances of familiar faces in the cast, including Taran and Ethan.
As Bowen Yang continues to make waves in both television and theater, his camaraderie with Ariana Grande adds another dimension to their professional and personal connection, creating a dynamic partnership that extends beyond the spotlight.
