While talking with Drew Barrymore Cynthia Erivo revealed that she and her Wicked co-star Ariana Grande prefer to use physical touch as a form of communication with one another. She expressed that they frequently touch one another, and feel uncomfortable without it. Erivo further explained:
“Sometimes you can’t say anything and you’re in a room and you’re like, it’s just a squeeze of a hand.
