Ariana Grande wants to join Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone for their upcoming Miss Piggy movie. The Hunger Games actress has also expressed that she “would love” for the Everyday hitmaker to be part of the project.
Miss Piggy is a puppet character who first appeared on Jim Henson’s The Muppet Show in the 1970s. According to Variety, Disney is currently working on a film about the diva puppet.
Ariana Grande Wants To Be Part of the Miss Piggy Movie
Kevin Frazier recently told Ariana Grande that there was a “rumour” about her potential involvement in the upcoming Miss Piggy movie. “Oh, really? I mean, I’m open, hello,” Grande told Frazier on the Golden Globes Carpet pre-show ahead of the 2026 Golden Globes on January 11.
Grande also said she was only “kidding”. She added, “I’m a big fan of The Muppets.” Moments later, Frazier spoke to Jennifer Lawrence. The No Hard Feelings actress asked Frazier if Grande seemed “excited” about contributing to the movie.
“I guess it was one of those Twitter rumours. They’re good at those,” Lawrence said. However, she also added, “I mean, if she wants to be in the movie, I would love for her to be in the movie.” Lawrence then looked at the camera and requested Grande to join the film’s cast. “Please be in Miss Piggy,” she said.
Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence on the Miss Piggy movie
Jennifer Lawrence first spoke about the movie in public in November last year on Las Culturistas. The 35-year-old said she and Emma Stone were “producing a Miss Piggy movie”. Lawrence also said she and the Easy A actress would also possibly star in the film.
Emma Stone confirmed she would not play the role of Miss Piggy during her W Magazine interview. “Why would I play a literal star? She’s the greatest,” Stone said. She said it would be “the biggest insult to Miss Piggy”.
I’ve ever heard, and I will not have her name dragged through the mud like that. Why would I play a literal star? She’s the greatest,” Stone told the outlet.
“No, of course I’m not playing Miss Piggy. And neither is Jen. We pale in comparison. Are you out of your mind?” Stone added.
