\n\tAriana Grande<\/a> won\u2019t be forgetting the first time she met Ben Stiller<\/a> anytime soon.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a>, Grande, Stiller and Robert De Niro made a joint appearance to chat about their new film Focker-in-Law<\/a><\/a>, which releases on Nov. 25.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt one point, host Jimmy Fallon asked the Grammy-winning singer about the first time she met Stiller, to which she replied, \u201cI met Ben in a very different way,\u201d drawing laughter from the audience.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe was directing me in an orgy scene in Zoolander 2<\/a> with a hippo and Susan Sarandon,\u201d she revealed. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the 2016 action-comedy, directed by Stiller, Derek (Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) are lured into the fashion world again, in Rome, where they find themselves the target of a sinister conspiracy. Grande makes a cameo as part of Hansel\u2019s eccentric romantic circle, which he calls his \u201corgy\u201d group.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo right off the bat, we had a comfortability,\u201d Grande added, as Stiller quipped that they had an instant connection due to the unusual encounter. \u201cIt sounds like two truths and a lie, but it\u2019s my reality,\u201d the Wicked star said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pair have now reunited in Focker-in-Law, which sees Greg (Stiller) and Pam Focker\u2019s (Teri Polo) son Henry (Skyler Gisondo) get wrapped up in family chaos when he decides to marry a strong-willed woman, Olivia Jones (Grande), who appears to be his complete mismatch.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cPetal\u201d singer also told Fallon that their first scene together in Focker-in-Law was another interesting experience.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe were thrust into rehearsing the Heimlich scene, where I give you [Stiller] the Heimlich,\u201d Grande said. \u201cSo I thought maybe we\u2019ll sit in [director] John [Hamburg\u2019s] office with a script and talk a little, get to know each other a little more and work on the scenes and talk about Greg and Olivia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut no. We met the stunts team, and they were amazing. And they were like, \u2018All right, Ben, bend over. Ariana, you\u2019ll get behind and just put your arms around him.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Oh, perfect. Yeah,’\u201d she added with a laugh. \u201cMy mom was like, \u2018How was your first day, honey?\u2019 I was like, \u2018Well, I gave Ben Stiller the Heimlich for a few hours.\u2019 It was crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGrande\u2019s appearance on The Tonight Show marked her return to the public eye after stepping back from the spotlight <\/a>once her Eternal Sunshine Tour wrapped in September. The Hollywood Reporter learned<\/a> in August that the singer would be \u201ctaking a step back from visibility\u201d for a \u201cmuch-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.\u201d Grande has faced a wave of online commentary surrounding her health and body over the last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande won\u2019t be forgetting the first time she met Ben Stiller anytime soon.
