Lyn Ching gives bracelets to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo during 'Wicked' interview
Lyn Ching had the most touching moments with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo when she met them in Sydney, Australia.
The “Unang Hirit” host had the chance to interview the lead stars of “Wicked.” Before the interview started, she gave them custom bracelets with special quotes written on them and in the colors of their characters.
Lyn gave Cynthia a bracelet with a quote from her mother: “It is sunny today and I am happy.”
“Cynthia became emotional because the words I had written on her bracelets are those of her favorite person, her mum,” Lyn wrote in her caption.
“Why did I choose it? Because I love the words myself. Positivity is always a gift. And when something like a sunny day can make a person happy? That’s a winner in my book,” she added.
Cynthia's latest Instagram Stories show her wearing the bracelet.
For Ariana, it was a pink bracelet with the quote, “Dreams do come true,” as playing Glinda is her dream role.
Since Ariana had concerts in the Philippines in 2015 and 2017, Lyn told the pop star that the country misses her.
"She said so many good things about us, especially about the Filipino talent, that it’s endearing,” Lyn said
Lyn also said that the two ladies are, “sweet, accommodating, kind.” And although she was nervous to interview them, “[They] they were warm from the get go. Their hello was welcoming.”
"My conversation with them was short (as it always is with junkets. You’ll be lucky to get 5mins. My worst was 3! But that’s another story altogether) but full."
“Wicked” premieres in Philippine cinemas on November 20.
“Wicked” follows the Good Witch Galinda and the Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba in their self-discovery journey in Shiz University.
It stars Ariana as Glinda, Cynthia as Elphaba, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, and Jeff Goldbum as the Wizard.
