During the conversation with Symon, they also talked about the friendship they’ve formed and how FaceTime has helped keep them connected since production closed.

Erivo called their five-hour FaceTime conversations “ridiculous.” Grande added that she would call “to keep her company.” Erivo clarified that he would call Grande when she was getting her nails done. “Sure, and it’s like a five o’clock situation,” she joked.

“She sometimes, I think, wants to hang up and I just keep going and going and going,” Grande added. But Erivo refuted her claim, “No. I said, ‘Go on,'” adding, “We’re finding things to talk about for these five hours and it’s nice because my brain doesn’t know what’s going on, so I’m just chatting.”

“He’s the best,” Grande remarked.
