Universal Pictures gave fans a gift on Monday: a behind-the-scenes clip where Ariana Grande walks into an on-set interview with her Focker-in-Law co-stars Skyler Gisondo, Beanie Feldstein and Eduardo Franco. The three were reminiscing about their Booksmart days when Grande hugged Feldstein and joked,“I know I wasn’t in Booksmart, but I love them so much!”The cast then playfully teased her about landing the Wicked films they missed out on, because that’s what co-stars are for.
The promo run continues Sunday, Nov. 8, when Grande joins Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC. Gisondo told The Hollywood Reporter that working with Grande was“unbelievable,”praising her comedic charm and work ethic. She’s also back to her natural brunette hair with a fresh bob after wrapping the film.
Focker-in-Law, the latest chapter in the Meet the Parents franchise, arrives in theaters Thanksgiving weekend. With De Niro, Stiller and Grande sharing a late-night couch days before launch, this one’s shaping up to be a family-holiday event. Which part of the clip made you laugh harder, the Booksmart joke or the Wicked tease?
