when it started getting deep with paul talking about anxiety you can tell ariana noticed him feel uncomfortable and she changed the conversation ever so gracefully like *CHEFS KISS!!* absolutely love her sheās a real one
I find it so intersting that you say that, I had a different feeling from it. As I saw it, it felt like for the entire interview Paul could see that Ariana was either nervous or something was happening and he was trying to make her feel more grounded by speaking openly about anxiety. But the she chose to steer away from the topic in the end.
@@adelatief6941He is clearly more stressed than her. He struggles to talk, avoiding eyes contact a lot, has nervous hand gestures and is nervous laughing when they talk about anxiety. Ariana seem more relaxed than 99 % would be in this situation.
two people pleasers walk in the room.. lmao i love both of them so much it was so cute watching these two anxious bugs interact. their anxiousness is also so ironic considering they both have more talent than they even know.
I love how it starts off a little awkward but they get so comfortable because they are both nerdy theatre loving people. Absolutely brilliant pairing! Edit: itās awkward in a coltish, nerdy sense.. not in an uncomfortable way. You can feel the excitement and the nerves at the same time. Itās adorable!
Oh my God people need to stop saying this every time there is an actors and actors video obviously they have the two most topical movies at the moment the two movies that are constantly being promoted.
One thing I will always admire about Ariana, and I'm sure almost everyone can agree whether you like her or not, she's a LISTENER. She's very attentive and you can tell she's enjoying listening to whoever she's with. A beautiful soul!
@@nabi4443rewatch it and youāll realize he asks her a question and then he rambles over her before she can even reply. she mostly interrupted him when he was at a loss for words saying āuhh, umm, uhhhhhā and staring off into space
Not surprising considering she had someone close to her pass, most people that go through that think that they didnāt listen enough to save the other person so she probably hyper focuses on conversations now or could just be a good listener who knows
something i really like about ariana is that she genuinely seems interested in what other people have to say and their stories and it doesnāt feel contrived at all
Ariana knowing everything about Paul's career even from his student performances on musical theatre... she is always putting in the work! Her questions were so thoughtful and she comes across as very interested and attentive to everything Paul was saying. And Paul as always is such a thoughtful performer and artist, and incredibly eloquent too. This was a genius pairup!
LOVED this conversation but I would disagree .. most, if not all, of Paul's roles in tv/film since his theater work has been acting as deeply emotional characters and felt like Ariana knew nothing about that.
@@Alice-nq2ew Itās a conversation, not an interview. The only prep required is watching the movie being promoted. Nobody in this series watches the others full filmography.
Being an introvert doesn't mean you don't like having conversations. The ONLY thing is means is that social activity is draining for you and you need alone time afterwards. Usually one-on-one convos and completely fine for introverts. Social anxiety and low self esteem are different matters.
I had a similar thought. I think this interview just makes the audience fall in love with just how wonderful humans can be. Because these two are so thoughtful, empathetic, and kind. :)
Do it, genuinely discovering people is the best for an introverts heart. Youāll discover how relatable you are to everyone and it fills the gap of selective aloneness.
Ariana they could never make me dislike you. Notice how many people on the crew she shouts out by name, praising them for their work that helped bring this movie together. She deserves all the love that she receives for this film.
It would have been the obvious choice, given that they both had the "Child Star to Pop Star to Actor" progression, but Ariana seems dead-set on not mentioning her time on Nickelodeon, so them being paired could be triggering for her.
never knew paul mescal was so sweet! watched this for ariana but will definitely now get into his movies bc he seems so genuine and nice. honestly need them as hercules and megara
I've seen several of Paul's interviews, and he's a down to earth Irish lad, who supports his family, including his younger siblings. I hope that this will never change, as he has a beautiful heart to go with his extraordinary talent. I didn't know that Ariana was such a good listener, and it was so sweet how much she complimented Paul. I loved this Glicked pairing too, and I agree that they would be perfect as Hercules and Megara. ā¤
Having two actors who are in new installments of beloved stories is so smart. Pressure to do Wicked justice and live up to the legacy of Gladiator is something the clearly both understand and respect
Always knew Ariana was a listener. Glad this video shows that off because people complain she talks too much or cuts people off. She genuinely loves listening to what people have to say.
Interesting, I hadnāt heard that about her, to me it seems like she hates talking about herself and answering the same questions over and over, it looked like a breath of fresh air for her to be able to listen to someone else!
I already have stuck in my head ARI as Meg in Hercules singing āI wonāt say I am in loveā , ponytail included. Perfect!š„² Paul is Hercules. Youāre welcome Disney
One thing I really love about Ariana, Sheās ALWAYS been such a great listener to the people sheās having a conversation to. She ALWAYS sits down so comfortably & willing to listen to the person speak. Sheās such an outstanding & outspoken person to be around. She literally articulates her words very clearly & crystal clear. We definitely need more women like Ariana. Honesty, This is definitely the BEST unexpected interview I have ever truly watched. Ariana & Paul is really the BEST unexpected match ever. Not only, They are into musical movies but They are definitely such a musical theater duo too.
Ariana is such an active listener, itās so sweet how she always affirms what the other person is saying and like meets them where theyāre at. Very sweet and sensitive.
Theyāre so thoughtful toward each other, offering both space and comfort. Theyāre always mindful of shifting the focus back to the other, especially when they feel theyāve spent time talking about themselves and their own story or movie. Truly a gift!
@lilachodan4941 heās very humble and charming which is largely appealing to women. although introverted, paul seems easy to get to know and authentic in this interview.

okay not gonna lie i didnāt know what to expect when i heard they were paired but this was a nice surprise š„¹ itās so interesting because never would i ever imagine theyād be in the same room talking like this. ariana as always feels so nice to talk to, sheās a great listener. paul was definitely nervous at first but got more and more comfortable. ariana was also nervous too but she tried to make it flow smoothly. personally i think she has really matured from the last time she appeared to the public before wicked filming. itās clear sheās more comfortable and open now
i have to admit i was a bit nervous for this pairing because i felt like they were just trying to make "glicked" a thing but the chemistry is amazing - i didn't realize how similar their backgrounds were! ariana is such a genuinely active listener and paul is so so sweet
I already knew this pairing would be amazing (Paul's endearing shyness and emotional intelligence coupled with Ariana's passion and genuine interest is so unbeatable) but watching it made me like them even more. The way they opened up halfway through was amazing to watch. They were literally finishing each other's sentences
Why do ppl keep saying this? Meg is not a soprano and has a deep voice, is tall and sassy. Ariana is amazing and so talented but unfortunately her being āperfectā as Meg is a bit of leapā¦ if anything Liz Gillies would be great
@@Ms02112 i used to always tell people that i would love liz gillies as megara any day. itās just after seeing wicked, i think people including myself feel they can see ari deliver well for meg. and especially seeing these two together how can you not!! just an opinion ā”
@@etherealestskyIn my opinion although Ariana is immensely talented and versatile both as a singer AND actress, Liz would still be a much better fit, appearance wise, vocally and personality/essence wise. I know that last one might sound like it defeats the purpose of acting, but a lot of times actorsā natural personalities can really enhance a role and bring a unique quality that might not be the case if someone else is cast. Think of like Helena Bonham Carter, sheās best at quirky over the top roles because sheās naturally the quirky hippie type. Or Tom Hiddleston, whoās best at reserved yet charming, romantic and/or gothic roles. In real life heās sort of an introvert, intellectual type very into poetry and a gentleman. In his case, he initially auditioned to play Thor in the MCU, but irl heās virtually the opposite from the character and ironically extremely similar to Loki, itās like he was born to play him. And so I feel like Liz playing Meg would be a similar situation, not to mention sheās very underrated compared to Ariana and it would def be awesome for her to get a big opportunity like this
Ariana's voice is so sweet but when it comes to singing, it's like I'm in heaven, and Cynthia is a legend and I'm someone who isn't a fan of musicals but i watched Wicked with my friend yesterday and i stepped out of the theatre speechless and in awe. Props to the whole cast and crew and director for making this masterpiece! Can't wait for Part 2!
I canāt believe they didnāt talk about Eternal Sunshine seeing as they both love that movie!!! Thatās what I wanted to see them both geek out over!!! š Loved this pairing! š
Ariana Grande & Paul Mescal is definitely giving me megara & hercules vibes. // itās the way paul said: āyouāre in love with each otherā ariana said: āinsufferableā for meā im screaming ššš
Love how this highlights a lot of arianaās listening moments. You can really see in her eyes and even body language that sheās engaged in the conversation.
2:05 Beauty & the Beast on Broadway is spectacular. The special effect at the end is flawless; blew my mind. One of the best and a GREAT one to see as your 1st musical.
as somebody in the set side of theatre and film it fills me with so much joy and pride to hear actors gushing about good production design and costumes and set!! these things make up such a huge part of these productions and are so often overlooked! whoever chose to pair these two together did such an amazing job as they both seem to be so passionate about the whole production of the performing arts, and it fills me with so much joy to see 'celebrities' being so nerdy about the artisty of these industries!!
i have NEVER been able to watch this type of long, talkative content and yet my brain was seated throughout this whole video lol very weird and new feeling, probably due to how interesting it is to watch these two amazing people talking
Ariana is such a sweet soul, seeing her spark conversation alongside Paul is such a beautiful sight. And Paul, so respectful and kind. Loved this combinationā¤ļø
I was judging this pairing but damn iām grateful. Honestly didnāt know Paul had a theater background. What a beautiful voice he has. As for Ariana sheās so attentive. I feel like sheās taking in every word and working to apply it to her life.
I think a lot of people assume that Ariana landing Glindaās role was extremely easy because of her name and current legacy, but itās clear that her fame only added more hardship and work to the gaining the role; I mean yeah she has connections, high agencies, etc., but the pressure of being *the* Ariana Grande meant being near perfect in order to land the role
The connection Ariana made between Gladiator II and Wicked š¤Æ how there is good and evil represented in both, that wouldāve never crossed my mind!!!
I didn't expect to watch this whole thing, but that was quite lovely. Ariana is a very good person to have a real conversation with it seems, and I like how their energies worked here, with Paul being a bit more nervous and Ariana being a bit more measured, but still playful and excited. Great pairing.
the whole conversation felt so right, I love whoever paired them together. You can tell both of them are listeners and really want to heard the stories the other one is telling. Plus, not related but Paulās look at Ariana here 09:53 really made something in me š
They have such great chemistry and are in such awe of each other itās adorable!!! Cast them as leads in a project together ASAP ššš āI think youāre one of the most talented people on the planetā OH I DIED š¢

I already knew this pairing would be amazing (Paul's endearing shyness and emotional intelligence coupled with Ariana's passion and genuine interest is so unbeatable) but watching it made me like them even more. The way they opened up halfway through was amazing to watch. They were literally finishing each other's sentences
oh we ABSOLUTELY need them cast as hercules and megara after this
SOOOO badlyy
Yeah he needs to be Hercules i wanna hear him belting go the distance
Why do ppl keep saying this? Meg is not a soprano and has a deep voice, is tall and sassy. Ariana is amazing and so talented but unfortunately her being āperfectā as Meg is a bit of leapā¦ if anything Liz Gillies would be great
@@Ms02112 i used to always tell people that i would love liz gillies as megara any day. itās just after seeing wicked, i think people including myself feel they can see ari deliver well for meg. and especially seeing these two together how can you not!! just an opinion ā”
@@etherealestskyIn my opinion although Ariana is immensely talented and versatile both as a singer AND actress, Liz would still be a much better fit, appearance wise, vocally and personality/essence wise. I know that last one might sound like it defeats the purpose of acting, but a lot of times actorsā natural personalities can really enhance a role and bring a unique quality that might not be the case if someone else is cast. Think of like Helena Bonham Carter, sheās best at quirky over the top roles because sheās naturally the quirky hippie type. Or Tom Hiddleston, whoās best at reserved yet charming, romantic and/or gothic roles. In real life heās sort of an introvert, intellectual type very into poetry and a gentleman. In his case, he initially auditioned to play Thor in the MCU, but irl heās virtually the opposite from the character and ironically extremely similar to Loki, itās like he was born to play him. And so I feel like Liz playing Meg would be a similar situation, not to mention sheās very underrated compared to Ariana and it would def be awesome for her to get a big opportunity like this
And i just can imagine the huge hug they gave each other after this. Brilliant lovely human beings.
She is so humble I love her š¢ and I love how she names out so many people that worked on the set
Ariana's voice is so sweet but when it comes to singing, it's like I'm in heaven, and Cynthia is a legend and I'm someone who isn't a fan of musicals but i watched Wicked with my friend yesterday and i stepped out of the theatre speechless and in awe. Props to the whole cast and crew and director for making this masterpiece! Can't wait for Part 2!
I love how Paul always includes Cynthia in the conversation!! That speaks to his character. Loved Gladiator 2! It
Was a worthy sequel!š„°
Ariana is so good at giving people space and calming them down. Sheās a veteran but just so humble
I canāt believe they didnāt talk about Eternal Sunshine seeing as they both love that movie!!! Thatās what I wanted to see them both geek out over!!! š Loved this pairing! š
her eyes are so big and so lovingly istg i caaaan't! And his eyes are so pretty!! cutiesss
Ariana Grande & Paul Mescal is definitely giving me megara & hercules vibes. // itās the way paul said: āyouāre in love with each otherā ariana said: āinsufferableā for meā im screaming ššš
Love how this highlights a lot of arianaās listening moments. You can really see in her eyes and even body language that sheās engaged in the conversation.
2:05 Beauty & the Beast on Broadway is spectacular. The special effect at the end is flawless; blew my mind. One of the best and a GREAT one to see as your 1st musical.
knowing they had dinner after this... alone... has me giggling and kicking my feet for real
really?
you're so real for that
sheās dating someone š
@@dia3756donāt let your boyfriend stop you from finding your soulmate!
Wait really? How do you know?
as somebody in the set side of theatre and film it fills me with so much joy and pride to hear actors gushing about good production design and costumes and set!! these things make up such a huge part of these productions and are so often overlooked! whoever chose to pair these two together did such an amazing job as they both seem to be so passionate about the whole production of the performing arts, and it fills me with so much joy to see 'celebrities' being so nerdy about the artisty of these industries!!
Can we take a moment? 55 MINUTES! Thank you Variety. These two are goldenšš¼
i love this interview so much. the content isn't what you expect but their shared love and appreciation of theater is so heartwarming
Itās heart-warmingly obvious that they both massively admire eachother. Zero begrudgery
I love this pair, theyāre both so genuine and eloquent throughout the whole interview! š¤
I smiled, I cried, and I kicked my feet! I love this and I feel like my two words are colliding. THANK YOU variety!
i have NEVER been able to watch this type of long, talkative content and yet my brain was seated throughout this whole video lol
very weird and new feeling, probably due to how interesting it is to watch these two amazing people talking
this is the most wholesome actors on actors ever š„¹š«¶š¼āØ
Ariana is such a sweet soul, seeing her spark conversation alongside Paul is such a beautiful sight. And Paul, so respectful and kind. Loved this combinationā¤ļø
I was judging this pairing but damn iām grateful. Honestly didnāt know Paul had a theater background. What a beautiful voice he has. As for Ariana sheās so attentive. I feel like sheās taking in every word and working to apply it to her life.
This is the first variety I watched all the way through in one sitting š
9:52 - That look in Paul's eyes šā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
I think a lot of people assume that Ariana landing Glindaās role was extremely easy because of her name and current legacy, but itās clear that her fame only added more hardship and work to the gaining the role;
I mean yeah she has connections, high agencies, etc., but the pressure of being *the* Ariana Grande meant being near perfect in order to land the role
This is the most incredible episode ever! My early Christmas gift, thank you Variety. I was counting down the hours until this came out.
Ethan is shaking in his boots right now
Lol š
i am cryingggg
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Ariana is like old school Hollywood. Exquisitely put together, otherworldly presence and a charm so soft it feels like it would shatter any minute ā¤
And steals men that arenāt hers for years now š¤© so classy š¤© and then talks shit behind other singers and celebs too š¤©š¤© so so classy and graceful š¤© shall I continue the list? Would cost me like 2 hours and pretty sure wonāt be done
the chemistry is unexpectedly decent! both of them are great listeners
This is the light Ari deserves to be in! Awesome discussion between them two.
Why am I cryingā¦. So proud of these two talented people
These two are my top favorite and itās strange I never pictured them interacting ever so this is like so mind blowing.
This is a perfect match for this conversation. They're both super talented and seem so genuine
Ariana deserves all the awards & praise for her incredible breathtaking performance as Glinda! She was truly destined to play that role! The press tour has been so moving & iconic! Ariana & Cynthia are both perfection in Wicked! Two ICONIC Queens who delivered some of the most beautiful movie performances ever! I CRIED so much throughout the movie! They both worked so hard & they both have such incredible talents! They brought cinema back with this cinematic experience! I've been a Ari fan since the beginning of her career & love all her music! I could go on! Queen! šš©·
thank you to whoever put this pairing together
They have chemistry omg?????
Paul has chemistry with EVERYONE
No, they are just nice to each other.
People say this with any two attractive people having a convo lol, I donāt see them even talking outside of this interview
@@galaxychar like i care
The connection Ariana made between Gladiator II and Wicked š¤Æ how there is good and evil represented in both, that wouldāve never crossed my mind!!!
I didn't expect to watch this whole thing, but that was quite lovely. Ariana is a very good person to have a real conversation with it seems, and I like how their energies worked here, with Paul being a bit more nervous and Ariana being a bit more measured, but still playful and excited. Great pairing.
the whole conversation felt so right, I love whoever paired them together. You can tell both of them are listeners and really want to heard the stories the other one is telling. Plus, not related but Paulās look at Ariana here 09:53 really made something in me š
They have such great chemistry and are in such awe of each other itās adorable!!! Cast them as leads in a project together ASAP ššš āI think youāre one of the most talented people on the planetā OH I DIED š¢
It warms my heart hearing that Ariana & Paul both are cinema lovers. And mentioning Barbenheimer is such a sweet touch.
Now, I just love Paul Mescal more. Heās so good at asking work related questions. Love this side of him
the duo i never knew i needed
