Ethan Slater gushes over girlfriend Ariana Grande

The Wicked actor shared his thoughts on his girlfriend's emotional Wicked interviews after they went viral for their unexpected seriousness. Ariana, 31 and her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, 37, reached to hold hands and were reduced to tears during a recent sit-down chat to promote the film. Ethan, 32, attributed the actors' expressiveness to their "ability to be so connected to their emotions". “They wear their heart on their sleeves, you know?" he told SiriusXM Hits 1. "Their ability to be so connected to their emotions in this way allows for their characters to be so complicated and so nuanced."
