Ariana Grande shares her honest thoughts on fame.
The singer and actress was in shock during the latest episode of the Shut up Evan podcast when the host revealed that she had arranged a special message from her idol, Sarah Jessica Parker.
Host Evan Ross Katz started saying, “I know you’re a big fan of Sarah Jessica Parker. I was getting ready for today and I wanted people to call in and ask questions. So I want to bring the icon Sarah Jessica Parker into the conversation.”
He then broadcast a voice message from Hocus Pocus the actress, “Hello Ariana. This is Sarah Jessica and I have a question… She is so extraordinarily talented and has at this point and for quite a while gained authority and some sort of control over her career.
Parker continued, “My A. question is when she was little…What did she imagine it would be like when she said to a parent, sibling, co-worker or even at a young age, ‘I want to be an actor.'”
In response, Grande showed her shocking expression and said before breaking down in tears, “I love her so much. What a thoughtful, sweet, caring question… Sorry, that totally shocked me. I can’t believe she knows who I am.”
She then took a moment to answer Parker’s question, admitting that fame is “peculiar” and “hard to navigate.”
“I don’t think I was prepared for this role,” she remarked, while adding that she was “proud” of the work she did to separate herself from fame.
