Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey recently recounted a jaw-dropping experience on their upcoming Wicked film set. The duo, starring as Glinda and Fiyero in the much-anticipated adaptation, shared their disbelief over an unexpected invasion by paparazzi using hang-gliders to capture unauthorized images.

During the filming, the pair witnessed a photographer floating above them, tethered to a hang-glider with a large kite, attempting to snap aerial shots. The incident left both stars in shock, with Grande describing the surreal moment as something straight out of a movie. “I thought I was seeing things,” she admitted in an interview, expressing her astonishment at seeing a man suspended in mid-air with cameras strapped to him.

Wicked is one of the most highly anticipated films, with its first part set to release on November 22, 2024, followed by the second part on November 26, 2025.

This bizarre incident underscores the extreme lengths some paparazzi will go to get the perfect shot, leaving both fans and stars astounded. Despite the intrusion, the excitement for Wicked remains undiminished, as audiences eagerly await its release.

The story not only adds to the anticipation surrounding Wicked but also reminds us of the sometimes extreme measures paparazzi take to capture a moment. Fans can look forward to seeing Grande and Bailey’s performances in this much-awaited adaptation.
