This winter, Wicked might be the family-friendly blockbuster, but its stars have a history of keeping things spicy. From bold beach scenes to daring music videos, these stars have shown a different side beyond their magical personas.
Cynthia Erivo, who takes on the role of Elphaba, once turned heads with a steamy strip scene, while pop sensation Ariana Grande bared all in the artwork for her God Is A Woman video. It's enough to make Elphaba blush from green to red!
Ariana Grande made waves in the music scene by stripping down in the iconic music video for God Is A Woman, where her body was playfully covered in lavender paint. This bold move marked her shift from pop princess to Hollywood star as she graces the screen as Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked.
“Ariana's eye-catching presence on screen is a testament to her versatility and fearless artistry,” shared a fan on social media.
In the second part of this musical saga, we’ll see Glinda reunite with her former friend, Elphaba, promising more drama and delight.
Meanwhile, Jeff Goldblum, who stars as the Wizard in Wicked, made headlines for a less-than-wizardly reason. The actor was spotted enjoying a nude beach day, leaving little to the imagination with only sea water for modesty. His character in the movie takes a darker turn as audiences learn about the Wizard's fraudulent past.
Jonathan Bailey, starring as Fiyero in Wicked, is no stranger to baring it all. The Bridgerton star previously shocked audiences with his nude scenes and even wore a prosthetic for Fellow Travelers. Bailey's portrayal of Fiyero is a refined shift from his past roles, adding a regal touch to the magical land of Oz.
Last year, Cynthia Erivo captivated audiences in Drift with a bold scene, showcasing her commitment to diverse roles. Now, as Elphaba, she embraces the character’s complexities, delivering powerful performances both vocally and dramatically.
Peter Dinklage, the voice of Dr. Dillamond, knows how to add humor to nudity. Appearing on Saturday Night Live alongside Leslie Jones, he participated in a satirical skit, playfully poking fun at reality TV. Dinklage's comedic talents shine through in Wicked, where he plays a pivotal role at Shiz University.
Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh, who portrays the villainous Madame Morrible, is no stranger to a sultry scene. Her unforgettable role opposite Pierce Brosnan in Tomorrow Never Dies showcased her charisma, which she now channels into her commanding presence in Wicked.
With such an eclectic mix of past roles, the stars of Wicked prove that they're as versatile as they are talented, each bringing their unique flair to the world of Oz.
