Alleged claims of Ariana Grande and co-star Cynthia Erivo undergoing weight loss transformations following their filming of Wicked have caused controversy online.
November 15, 2024– According to this viral TikTok video posted by user @8sleezes, fans have become increasingly concerned with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s looks after alleged photos of the duo before and after filming their highly-anticipated film, Wicked, came to light.
Ariana Grande Weight Loss
In the side-by-side comparisons, fans took to the comment section of the above video to question what the actors must’ve supposedly gone through on set to seemingly undergo a dramatic weight loss transformation during or after filming. As a result, fans expressed worry surrounding the pair because of the alleged weight loss photos that have been circulating online.
Some fans even speculated if the pair underwent challenges like Judy Garland- who starred in the original “The Wizard of Oz” movie. As outlined in this article by BIOGRAPHY, Garland reportedly embarked on a diet that consisted of “chicken soup, black coffee, and cigarettes, along with pills to reduce her appetite,” in order to maintain her weight for the 1939 film. However, there is no evidence to support this alleged claim that Grande and Erivo got “too into character” following claims of Garland “enduring a lot” while on set in the past.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Friendship
Grande and Erivo play Glinda and Elphaba in the latest Wicked movie, which is set to premiere on November 22, 2024. The pair seemingly formed a tight bond while on set and have recently been in the press promoting the film.
However, fans have taken notice of the pair’s alleged transformations following images of the duo before and after filming the movie. As outlined in this story by Ok! Grande responded to weight criticism in the past back in 2023. She claimed that people should be ” gentler and less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies” when addressing backlash, alleging that 2023 was a “challenging” yet “transformative” year for the star following her divorce from Dalton Gomez.
Although Grande and Erivo have not commented publicly on allegations surrounding their supposed weight loss, what do you think about the rumors? Again, there is no concrete evidence to support claims that the duo “endured” anything on set to lead to these alleged transformations.
