Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have cemented their friendship with permanent matching tattoos as they prepare for the sequel to their hit musical film.
The 32-year-old pop star recently posted images on Instagram showing both actresses displaying identical For Good ink on their palms. Grande shared her excitement about the upcoming second installment while marking 20 days until its premiere. The tattoos reference a song from the Broadway production that inspired their blockbuster movie adaptation.
Director Jon M. Chu praised the genuine connection between his two leads, noting that despite their status as powerhouse vocalists, they prioritized the project above personal ego. The 46-year-old filmmaker described watching their relationship develop as remarkably beautiful, especially given that two performers of such magnitude could have clashed. Instead, their commitment to embodying Galinda and Elphaba elevated both characters beyond traditional interpretations. Chu credited their collaborative spirit with making his directing responsibilities significantly easier while helping the film resonate with contemporary audiences. The 38-year-old Erivo and Grande took over roles originally performed by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth when the musical debuted on stage years earlier.
