Resurfaced Ariana Grande interview leaves Wicked fans shocked over how ‘different’ she acts now as she reveals that she has been suffering from… See more

Fans are comparing the way Ariana Grande acted in an old interview with how she’s acted during the Wicked press, and they can’t believe how ‘different’ she is.

Over the last few months, the Thank U, Next songstress, 31, has participated in a slew of press events with her costar Cynthia Erivo to promote their roles in the new movie adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical.

And now, a resurfaced video of Ariana being sarcastic during an interview with her Scream Queens costar Abigail Breslin from 2015 has left many people on the web stunned over how much she’s changed.

The clip, which was originally posted by Vanity Fair, showed the actresses reacting to various screams from famous scary movies. After watching a scene from the 1960 thriller Psycho, Abigail started stumbling over her words.

‘That was a very smooth, a smoother and a lower… I think it was like… What I liked about it was it kind of came like… She was like, “Oh. Yeah. This is happening now,”‘ she said. As she spoke, Ariana looked extremely confused; she blinked dramatically and squinted her eyes, before she turned to Abigail and sarcastically stated, ‘I want to see what you just said written on paper.’

Someone named Aaron shared the moment to TikTok earlier this week, and it quickly went viral. ‘How the old Ariana would have reacted to the “holding space” interviewer,’ the TikToker captioned it, referring to a recent interview with Ariana and Cynthia that has taken the web by storm.  Immediately, viewers rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts, and many said the hitmaker seemed like a completely ‘different person.’

‘This has to be a different person,’ one user wrote.

‘For real. The switch-up is INSANE,’ another agreed.

‘Honestly I can’t even hate because I know I have so many personality phases too,’ joked someone else.
‘These are two different people,’ a fourth comment read.

‘I think this is the real Ariana. I think the one we’re getting in these Wicked interviews is meant to be as non-controversial as possible,’ a fifth said.

‘Could it be that she’s grown up and matured?’ theorized a different person.

‘People seem to forget the concept of growing up? She’s literally 31 years old of course she isn’t acting like this nowadays,’ someone else said.

Ariana and Cynthia have been traveling the globe together over the last few weeks to promote their roles in the long-awaited flick, which hit theaters on Friday, November 22.

They have participated in a slew of interviews and red carpet events in the lead-up to the film’s release, but have continuously faced scrutiny over their behavior throughout the press. In particular, many social media users have commented on the fact that the women often break down in tears while discussing the movie.

During an appearance on the Heart Breakfast show this week, Cynthia explained why they often become emotional. ‘Every interview I’ve read of you and Ariana, it just says that you end up in tears all the time,’ host Amanda Holden said to Cynthia.

‘We do. And I think it’s because people have come in with such energy and they come in, their responses, their emotional responses come into the room with us, it’s the first time we’ve been able to talk about it, so we’re both reliving and rehashing all the things we’ve been through and the journey we’ve been on,’ Cynthia responded.

‘We can’t help it, we get very emotional about it.’
