Ariana Grande Thanks Ryan Reynolds for ‘Most Generous’ ‘Wicked’ Praise: ‘You Really Moved Me’

Ariana Grande thanked Ryan Reynolds for his 'Wicked' praise at the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala. See what she said.

Taking the podium at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City, Reynolds praised Wicked for its promotion of “togetherness” while giving special shout-outs to director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt. The Canadian actor also specifically commended Cynthia Erivo and Grande’s performances in the film, saying of the latter, “Your comedic athleticism and charm is never at the cost of emotional stakes.” “It’s the singular ‘I love you’ text, or the random ‘I’m proud of you’ voice note,” Erivo said at one point before Grande hilariously dead-panned: “It’s being so good at acting that no one ever finds out how much we f–king loathe each other.”
