As a devoted fan of theater and all things Wicked, I must say that Ethan Slater‘s recent antics have only served to endear him further to me. The man has a knack for turning even the most embarrassing moments into golden opportunities for humor and self-deprecation.
Recently, the cast of “Wicked” has been jet-setting around the world, expanding the yellow brick road for fans, as one of the most eagerly awaited films in 2024’s movie lineup makes its way to cinemas. This week, the actors made a stop at the London premiere of the musical and were greeted with a warm welcome by enthusiastic fans. It was during this event that Ethan Slater had a viral incident when he tripped and fell while exiting the green carpet. When asked about the mishap, Slater’s response struck me as charmingly honest.
Over the past week, Ethan Slater’s TikTok stumble video has garnered over 3.3 million views and created quite a buzz online. While some might feel self-conscious or embarrassed in such a situation, the Broadway star gracefully acknowledged the comments praising his quick reflexes after a SiriusXM mention. In his own words, he expressed that this incident actually showcased his “excellent reaction skills.
For that to be your takeaway is really a beautiful thing. Thank you for saying that. It was so funny, the first thing that I thought, we walked out onto the carpet and everyone was like, ‘Hey, so it’s been raining. It’s really slippery.’ And I was like, ‘You guys, I got this. It’s fine. I’m not gonna slip. It’s gonna, it’s gonna be fine.’ And then I wiped out really hard. It was good. I felt like Jason Derulo, you know.
True to London’s unpredictable weather, it poured on the red carpet for the show Wicked last Monday. Despite being forewarned about slipping, Ethan Slater didn’t seem unduly concerned about tripping at the premiere. As a video circulating online shows (see below), he wore dress shoes that could have contributed to such a tumble. However, he managed to avoid a full fall, thanks to his quick reflexes and a timely grab with his right hand to break it.

Remarkably, Ethan Slater glanced over his shoulder immediately following his tumble (maybe to check if someone was recording), and then flashed a thumbs-up to the cheering crowd. Additionally, he joked that he felt like Jason Derulo in that moment, and went on to say:
In conversation about my profession, I often liken it to tumbling down, which seems fitting. During my time in Spamalot, I even performed an entire number that involved falling and injuring myself, making it feel like an integral part of the job. That particular performance was actually one of my career highlights… It’s quite an apt description, isn’t it?
The performer exhibits a great sense of sportsmanship, and it’s evident! I’m impressed by his reaction when he referred to that instance as “a shining moment,” not to mention his amusing confession about jokingly informing his young relatives that he trips on purpose. Being an actor, or any public figure for that matter, involves numerous blunders in front of large audiences, but his graceful handling of the situation seems like a testament to a positive outlook.
Ethan Slater, who has been drawing attention due to his relationship with Ariana Grande, has managed to stay composed amidst it all. Lately, the actor has revealed that he copes by concentrating on the genuine individuals in his life instead of online remarks. At the premiere of Wicked in Los Angeles, Slater and Grande shared a heartwarming moment, and they seem to have effectively avoided making the film’s promotion centered around them. To put it simply, falling for someone isn’t so terrible when you bounce back as gracefully as he does!
Since “TopMob’s Wicked Part 1” interviews are currently available, don’t miss them! They feature surprising insights from Slater regarding the tune he can’t shake off his mind.
