Even if you’re not familiar with the name Cynthia Erivo, chances are you’ve seen memes of her on social media over the past few days. The actor and singer, who is one Oscar away from receiving an EGOT, is naturally charming, and her press tour for Wicked: For Good produced not one, but several moments that instantly went viral on the Internet. Fans love his whimsical reactions just as much, and they always create hilarious memes.
Who is Cynthia Erivo?
First of all, Cynthia is a multi-talented star. For her leading role in the Broadway musical The Color Purple, Cynthia won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and the Daytime Emmy Award. She played Harriet Tubman in Harriet (2019), which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Meanwhile, her role as Elphaba in last year’s Wicked earned her two Oscar nominations in the Best Actress category as well as Best Original Song for the stand-up song.
Cynthia is now being called the latest meme queen for her reactions during a public appearance to promote Wicked: For Good. The film, starring Cynthia, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, and Jeff Goldblum, among others, was released in theaters on November 21. Cynthia is an acclaimed English actor, singer and songwriter known for her award-winning work in theatre, film and music.
Cynthia ‘Meme Queen’
The first meme was created during a conversation with a fan, in which he humorously had to simply take a step back. In an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the actor revealed what really happened behind the scenes, revealing that the fan in Paris shared that she had the actor’s hat, which she thought she had lost last year.
Another meme shows her at the premiere of Wicked for Good, where she seems surprised by the loud cheering fans give her. She looks straight at the camera, and continues to pose – a moment that instantly went viral on social media.
Since these memes went viral, many fans have discovered some more moments from Cynthia’s reactions to last year’s red carpet appearance. In one meme, she was seen calculating with her fingers on her head which movies should be recommended, as if she was radiating some energy! In another moment, she was seen looking at the camera with a fake smile on the SAG Awards red carpet.
Cynthia has also been very protective of her co-star Ariana Grande. The incident occurred when an intruder broke through the barricade and entered the red carpet to meet Ariana, causing panic at the Singapore premiere event. Cynthia immediately rushed to his defense, a move that drew praise and viral reactions from fans on social media.
