Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo tackle ‘Depraved’ contract and fee
Depraved stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have just lately damaged silence on film’s contract and fee concern.
The actresses opened up concerning the “rare” step they took to make sure they have been paid equal salaries in a joint interview with Selection.
“We went through our contracts together and called each other up. Did you see that? What do you think about that? Let’s get it together!’” mentioned the singer.
Cynthia revealed, “We both went through it – ‘What number are we doing? How do you feel about that?’”
“We were really honest. And that’s really rare. People don’t do that,” said the 37-year-old, who performs the film’s lead function of Elphaba.
Ariana remarked, “We’re very different, but when we’re doing something like this together, her needs become my needs.”
“And her needs become mine,” talked about Cynthia.
Elsewhere within the interview, each actresses defined how they “took care of one another” throughout their emotional, much-mocked press tour for director Jon M. Chu’s $150 million film.
Ariana shared, “I feel so grateful and proud of how present we’ve been able to be. A lot of people have come up to us and been like, ‘How you holding up?’ with a long face. And we’ve just peeked at each other and been like, ‘We’re grateful and floating.’”
Cynthia added, “We have a good time.”
In the meantime, Jon appreciated actresses equal pay negotiations in an interview with the identical outlet.
“This is a modern production. This is what Hollywood should reflect. These are co-CEOs of ‘Wicked Inc,’” mentioned the movie-maker.
