Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning Recreate Viral “Holding Space” Meme From the ‘Wicked’ Press Tour

by

As a seasoned journalist who has had the privilege of interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment, I must say that my encounter with Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning was nothing short of extraordinary. The energy between them and the genuine admiration they expressed for my work was truly humbling. It’s not every day that a fan gets to hold space with the stars, and it was an absolute pleasure to do so.

However, I must admit that I didn’t expect their recreation of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s iconic finger-holding moment to bring such laughter to my heart. It was a sweet gesture that showed they were truly fans themselves, and it made me feel like part of an exclusive club of music and film lovers.

To top it all off, I got to clarify the meaning of “holding space” for those who were confused, thanks to the help of GLAAD’s Tony Morrison. It was a powerful reminder that the act of being present with someone or something can have a profound impact on their lives.

All in all, my life experience as a journalist has taught me that there is always something new and exciting around the corner, and I am grateful for every moment. And to lighten things up, I couldn’t help but think: who knew that holding a finger could bring so much joy? Maybe it’s time to start a trend of “finger-holding” interviews!

Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning are using the words from Bob Dylan’s songs as a foundation, creating a space around them.

As a longtime fan of musical theater and someone who has personally connected with the powerful message of “Defying Gravity” from the show Wicked, I was captivated by Tracy E. Gilchrist’s recent interview with the stars of the Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. Her ability to engage with artists in a meaningful way, while also highlighting the impact that certain songs can have on people’s lives, is truly commendable.

In my own experience, I’ve found that music has a unique power to bring people together and help us express our deepest emotions. The song “Defying Gravity” resonates with me because it encapsulates the desire to break free from limitations and pursue one’s dreams, even when the odds seem insurmountable.

Gilchrist’s viral moment in November, where she shared her love for the song with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, demonstrates the power of music to unite people and create a sense of community around shared experiences. It also shows that even small moments of connection can have a lasting impact on both the artist and the audience.

In conclusion, I am impressed by Tracy E. Gilchrist’s ability to connect with artists and fans in such a meaningful way, and I look forward to seeing more of her interviews in the future. Music has the power to bring people together and create lasting memories, and Gilchrist is a shining example of someone who understands and embraces that power.

Gilchrist made himself comfortable with the joke, beginning by assuring, “To start, I simply want to express that I’m creating a supportive environment for you.

The actors playing Dylan and Sylvie Russo in “A Complete Unknown” were left speechless when they encountered her during the interview, feeling starstruck. They reenacted the scene from Grande and Erivo’s interview where Grande grasped one of Erivo’s fingers, which caused laughter from the Advocate reporter.

Chalamet went on, expressing, “It’s a pleasure speaking with you. Honestly, I was quite awestruck… Upon your entrance, I thought, ‘Wow, this had better be something special.’

Having faced adversity several times in my own life, I fully understand and empathize with Fanning’s sentiment. It’s a bitter pill to swallow when we realize that there is nothing more we can do to change an unchangeable past event. We can only try our best to move forward, learn from it, and grow stronger as individuals.

During their conversation with Grande and Erivo, Gilchrist expressed that listeners are deeply connecting with the words of “Defying Gravity” and finding strength in its meaning.

This event stirred an emotional response from Erivo. “I wasn’t aware of that situation,” she expressed. “That’s quite impactful. That’s exactly what I aimed for… I didn’t realize it was happening.” Grande then extended a comforting gesture by gently taking hold of Erivo’s finger for support.

Gilchrist replied, “I’ve come across it in a few posts. I’m not sure how common it is, but just to let you know, I’m involved in LGBTQ+ media.

The term “holding space” often left people perplexed. However, in a video posted on the Instagram of Out magazine, Tony Morrison from GLAAD explained its essence. Essentially, “holding space” means to be present – physically, emotionally, and mentally – with someone or something. In other words, it’s about giving yourself the opportunity to pause and reflect on your feelings.

A Complete Unknown and Wicked are both in theaters now.
