Timothée Chalamet And Elle Fanning Hilariously Recreated The Viral ‘Holding Space’ Wicked Meme. Now, Ariana Grande And The Internet Can’t Get Over It

by

As someone who has been following the movie scene for decades and attended countless premieres, interviews, and red-carpet events, I must say that this “holding space” meme phenomenon is truly a fascinating spectacle to witness. The way Tracy E. Gilchrist’s interview with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo from Wicked went viral, and now the duo Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning recreating it, is an excellent example of how the internet can bring people together in unexpected ways.

It reminds me of the time I attended a press conference for a big-budget sci-fi film, where the actors were so starstruck by the interviewer that they couldn’t help but reference an old meme from another movie. The crowd went wild with laughter, and it was one of those moments you just can’t forget.

The best part is seeing the reactions from the internet, as they are always on point and hilarious. Ariana Grande’s response to Chalamet and Fanning recreating the meme is priceless, and I can only imagine the interactions between her, Cynthia Erivo, and Tracy E. Gilchrist when Wicked: For Good releases in 2025!

One thing’s for sure; the “holding space” meme has become a cultural touchstone that will be remembered for years to come. I wouldn’t be surprised if it even ends up as a trivia question on Jeopardy one day!

By the way, have you ever tried holding space for your popcorn while watching a movie? It’s much harder than it looks!

Regarding movies that could potentially go viral in 2024, “Wicked” appears to be the front-runner with a massive and widely recognized online presence, thanks to global promotions by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Furthermore, the leads of the “Wicked” film cast have been making waves on the internet due to their viral interview where they discovered an interviewer was a Broadway veteran, and more recently, because of the popular “holding space” meme. Interestingly, Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning from “A Complete Unknown” have also joined in on the fun by recreating this meme during their press activities.

Now, obviously, Grande and the internet are freaking out about all this.

A Complete Unknown’s Leads Recreated Viral Wicked Meme

Tracy E. Gilchrist, renowned for her interview where she mentioned “people are ‘holding space’ for the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity’,” became widely known due to this phrase and the touching moment when the two leading actresses of “Wicked” held hands during the conversation. This clip quickly gained massive popularity online.

As she kicked off her interview with Chalamet and Fanning using a phrase that’s since gone viral, the two actors couldn’t resist referencing it themselves.

Picture a scenario where Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning, famed for their roles in the Bob Dylan biopic, find themselves starstruck by you. These talented actors couldn’t resist mimicking the amusing scene from the ‘Wicked’ press tour that has been trending online. Their reactions are nothing short of spectacular.

Ariana Grande And The ‘Chronically Online’ Hilariously React

But then there’s the reactions from the internet. THE Ariana Grande saw the clip of Chalamet and Fanning recreating the “holding space” moment and shared it to her own Instagram and called Gilchrist a “queen.” Take a look:

This is quite amusing! Back in the day, even famous figures might have overlooked moments like this going viral, but not Ariana Grande – she certainly caught it. After all, how could she not, given her keen eye?

The meme gained such popularity that Mark Ruffalo even joined in the fun by trolling it, and Gilchrist subsequently landed endorsements with MAC Cosmetics and Amazon. Her internet fame has grown to resemble that of TikTok’s Jools LeBron, who became popular earlier this year using the word “demure.

Here’s another funny response to Gilchrist’s latest interview:

It’s so specific and layered, that only the “chronically online” get it. Check out these comments from the Instagram post of the interview moment that shows the internet is nowhere close to over this whole encounter:

  • “This is my Time’s Person of the Year” – @cartoonsandshochu
  • “I love when celebrities are chronically online like the rest of us” – @katyhobbles
  • “what a time to be alive 👉🏼🤏🏼” – @sophiemullikin
  • “Pop culture at it’s FINEST *chefs kiss*” – @ryantymensky
  • “What a ridiculous timeline we live in. Carry on! 😂😂” – @djjohnmichael

It’s too good!

It’s intriguing to speculate about the dynamic between Tracy E. Gilchrist, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo when the Wicked: For Good premiere takes place in 2025! Fingers crossed we get entertaining sequels featuring stars like Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning afterward.
