Ariana Grande Nailed a British Accent with Her Hermione & Cynthia Erivo Impressions
The former Voice Coach never ceases to amaze.
When you're as talented as Ariana Grande, you can pull off anything — including a flawless British accent!
Universal Pictures' Wicked is hitting theaters in less than two weeks (November 22, 2024, to be exact), and fans can't wait to watch Grande and Cynthia Erivo bring the classic musical to life. In honor of Wicked's upcoming release, now is the perfect time to highlight Grande's unbelievably impressive British accent. She and Erivo have been inseparable BFFs since they began filming the movie, and it's only natural that some of Erivo's accent has rubbed off on the former Voice Coach.
In a 2024 interview with Access Hollywood, Grande unveiled her Erivo impression in front of her stunned co-star — and it was incredible!
"That's really good, oh my God!" Erivo exclaimed. "The intonations are great, I'm hearing myself, that's so crazy."
It reached the point where Erivo and the interviewer were speechless. Grande's British accent has officially been perfected!
"We spend too much time together," Erivo explained.
"But not enough!" Grande happily added.
