Cynthia Erivo recently made an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and the interview was filled with laughter, friendship, and exciting announcements. The two friends chatted about everything from fashion to fitness, and even had a hilarious accent game. Let’s dive into the highlights of this lively and entertaining conversation.
Ellen and Cynthia wasted no time in making each other laugh, reminiscing about their friendship and previous encounters. Cynthia notably wore a stunning Louis Vuitton dress to the Oscars, which sparked some conversation about fashion. Ellen couldn’t help but compliment Cynthia’s amazing nails, which are always on point. Cynthia revealed that she functions even better with her long and fabulous nails, using them for all sorts of tasks, including gardening!
The conversation then shifted to Cynthia’s previous Oscar nomination for her role in the film “Harriet.” If Cynthia had won, she would have become the youngest EGOT winner ever, having already won a Tony for her role in “The Color Purple,” as well as a Grammy and an Emmy. The idea of Cynthia and Ellen doing a two-woman show was then brought up, with Cynthia suggesting a comedy duo with some dramatic moments. The two friends even shared an impromptu moment acting as sisters, and it seemed like a fantastic idea for a show!
Fitness was another topic of discussion, with Cynthia revealing that she ran a half-marathon before attending the Emmy Awards. Ellen, known for her own fitness routines, jokingly suggested that Cynthia try drinking a shot of vodka before and after her runs. Cynthia humorously responded that she is teetotal but agreed that water mixed with vodka might be a good post-run recovery drink.
Cynthia also shared details about her upcoming projects, including a new anthology series called “Roar.” Each episode focuses on the different experiences women face, and Cynthia’s episode is titled “The Woman Who Found Bite Marks on Her Skin.” The story explores the guilt felt by a working mother trying to balance her career and family, manifesting in physical bite marks on her skin. Although the conversation turned light-hearted, many women could likely relate to the struggles portrayed in this story.
The interview reached an exciting climax when Cynthia revealed that she will be starring in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the musical “Wicked.” Ellen couldn’t contain her excitement, and Cynthia mentioned her readiness to take on what she believes may be a role of a lifetime. Ellen couldn’t resist injecting some humor by offering her own talents to the cast, naming potential roles she could play.
The interview ended on a fun note with a game of accents. The two took turns imitating various accents, ranging from posh English to Scottish and even a Scottish phone sex operator. Laughter filled the studio as both Cynthia and Ellen embraced their humorous sides.
