Ariana Grande\u2019s kind gesture has brought a smile to Adam Sandler\u2019s face during their recent conversation on their movies.<\/p>\n
Both stars were paired for CNN and Variety\u2019s Actors on Actors and they talked about filming emotionally charged scenes as well as getting their dream role in the movies.<\/p>\n
Ariana was in the middle of explaining how she \u201chas never in her life\u201d felt anything like getting the call to play Glinda in Wicked for Good movie.<\/p>\n
To which Adam asked so what was the process, and the singer-turned -actress replied, \u201cI begged for an audition\u201d.<\/p>\n
At that time, the Murder Mystery actor had a cough after which Ariana checked up on him, making sure everything is okay.<\/p>\n
Adam first responded, \u201cYeah, yeah,\u201d and then he started laughing, saying, \u201cThank you\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ariana apologised and said, \u201cLet it out! You are safe here with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Interestingly, the whole environment turned pleasant and then the actress continued with her response about Glinda.<\/p>\n
She reiterated that she had to \u201cbeg for an audition,\u201d because they didn\u2019t want anyone they knew.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I had to beg to being considered in the first place,\u201d remarked the 32-year-old while speaking to Adam.<\/p>\n
Ariana recalled that the first audition she sang for both roles, one was No One Mourns the Wicked and the other was Defying Gravity.<\/p>\n
When Adam asked, \u201cYou and piano\u201d to which Ariana responded, \u201cYes, the piano was in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, Ariana mentioned that the movie head offered the role of Glinda to her.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the chat, the actor revealed that his kid loved Wicked songs and especially Defying Gravity.<\/p>\n
Ariana and Adam also shared their experience of filming emotional scenes. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am a crier in life, but it\u2019s not as easy when you\u2019re performing. It\u2019s not a party trick,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
But Ariana cried five times while watching Adam\u2019s performance in Jay Kelly movie.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Adam added that he found it difficult to tap into his tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande\u2019s kind gesture brings smile to Adam Sandler\u2019s face Ariana Grande\u2019s kind gesture has brought a smile…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170150,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-170149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
