Ariana Grande is "forever changed" by her role in Wicked — both emotionally and physically.
The "We Can't Be Friends" singer recently revealed to People that she flipped her blonde wigs so much while portraying the role of Glinda in the forthcoming movie musical that she is still "stiff" from the repeated head turning. After her co-star Jonathan Bailey asked if she got "physio involved," she joked about how her physical comedy has left her spine in a "not good" state.
"I'm forever changed in a lot of ways emotionally," Grande said, quipping, "But mostly my spinal column. It's not good."
Why was Grande tossing her hair so much? Many of the hair flips came while her character was flirting with Bailey's Fiyero. The Bridgerton star joked that he would often get a face full of wig whenever she tossed her locks around.
"She flossed my teeth every time she did it," Bailey said, to which Grande responded, "You're welcome." He continued, "That's why I've got absolute perfect pearlies."
The role in Wicked was a full-circle moment for the "Thank U Next" musician, and she previously shared why the entire experience felt like a "homecoming" for her, so much so that she is credited with her full name to honor her younger self. Grande's co-star Cynthia Erivo also recently spoke about why the reaction to the film has been "beyond [her] wildest dreams."
Wicked: Part One hits theaters November 22.
