Ariana Grande Recalls Meeting Ben Stiller During Zoolander Orgy Scene
Ariana Grande discussed her first meeting with Ben Stiller while promoting their new film Focker-in-Law on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Grande Reveals Unusual First Encounter
Ariana Grande appeared with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro on the latest installment of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss their new film. Host Jimmy Fallon asked the singer how she first met Stiller, prompting her to share a specific story from 2016. She explained that he was directing her in an orgy scene for Zoolander 2 featuring a hippo and Susan Sarandon. Grande noted that this strange introduction created instant comfort between the two actors despite the unusual setting.
New Film Details and Plot
The pair reunited for Focker-in-Law which releases on November 25 in theaters. In this action-comedy Greg Stiller and his wife Pam face family chaos involving their son Henry who decides to marry Olivia Jones. Olivia is played by Grande who appears as a strong-willed woman who seems to be a complete mismatch for the character. Derek and Hansel are once more drawn back to the fashion industry in Rome, where they become targets of a dark conspiracy.
Rehearsal Experience and Stunt Team
Grande described their first scene together as another interesting experience involving rehearsing a Heimlich maneuver sequence on set. She stated that the crew did not let them sit in an office to talk about scripts before starting work immediately. Instead they met the stunts team who instructed Ben to bend over while Ariana placed her arms around him from behind. Grande told her mother she gave Ben Stiller the Heimlich for a few hours during that first day of filming.
Singer Returns After Health Break
This appearance on The Tonight Show marked Grande's return to public view after stepping back from visibility in September. She had wrapped her Eternal Sunshine Tour and decided to take a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances. According to reports, she encountered intense online discussion regarding her health and physique during the previous twelve months prior to this latest exhibition.
