Ariana Grande was in awe the first time she saw the Munchkins in the upcoming "Wicked" movie ... so much so that she stopped to take photos of them in costume.

00:00I was at one of P. Diddy's freak-offs.
00:02Freak-offs.
00:04You saw celebrities there that you recognized.
00:06Mm-hmm. They were a rapper that we all know.
00:10Straight-up porn directed by Diddy.
00:12I'm just grateful to have made it out.
00:17One of the most, like, cutest moments on set would be when...
00:21Because Ariana Grande had no idea
00:23of what the Munchkins looked like in the set.
00:26So when she first came on,
00:28all of us Munchkins also had come on for the first day,
00:31immediately she wanted her phone out
00:33and she wanted to take pictures of all of the cast
00:35and just how, obviously, Munchkins look.
00:37They're quite adorable.
00:39And she was just obsessed immediately
00:41and she was just wanting her phone to take pictures of all of us.
00:44And obviously, we know that the film uses CGI,
00:48so we had, like, blue blocks everywhere
00:50to, like, replicate for post-production.
00:54So we'd be sitting down and she'd just be coming up to us and talking
00:57and trying to take photos and trying to get, like...
01:00Like, just really nice moments with her, really.
01:02It was just nice and funny.
01:05There's, like, times, obviously, as an actor,
01:09things go wrong, things are funny, you're not in the mood,
01:12like, stuff like that happens.
01:13And there's this one scene where she uses her wand
01:17and we're trying to get, like, a really precise camera angle,
01:21well, Jon and Chew was.
01:22And she kept getting it wrong.
01:26She'd just start bursting out into laughter,
01:28like, oh, goddammit, I got it wrong, I got it wrong.
01:30It was just really funny, because you just see how, like,
01:34a celebrity that you don't see, like, face-to-face,
01:37you don't have normal conversations, it's just how human they are, really.
01:41And it was just nice to see, like, her turning a mistake
01:44into such a funny thing for everyone and not just for herself.
