Ariana Grande wanted to keep a part of Jonathan Bailey with her forever, so she stole his thumb from Wicked: For Good.
What? Before you read any further, there will be a spoiler if you have not seen the stage version of Wicked.
Bailey is transformed into the Scarecrow, and he had to wear a burlap suit for the transformation. He kept parts of his costume, but his co-star stole another part of it.
He told Access Hollywood’s guest correspondent Emily Orozco, “I know that Ari’s got my thumb…Because I fell over in a camera test, exploring the physicality, and my thumb split…she put it in her pocket. And I didn’t realize, but she carries my thumb around.”
What does he think she does with it? It makes her victorious when she tries to hail cabs in NYC!
I wish I had known this before I saw the movie, because I would have looked out to see if his thumb was missing when you saw the Scarecrow’s hand. Oh well, I guess I will just have to see the spectacular film again!!!
