Jennifer Coolidge is opening up about her friendship with Ariana Grande. The acclaimed actress has previously credited the talented singer for revitalizing her career after starring in her ‘Thank U Next’ music video, and it seems the pair had been in contact ever since.

She continued, “It’s really rare. I sometimes feel like I’m talking to someone ancient. Her take on things [and everything] is so advanced. I don’t really know how to explain her. I have never met anyone like her in my life.”

And then this ball got rolling,” she said to the host, “You should know, it was sort of the beginning of a lot of cool things that happened for me. I was going through a dead zone, not much was going on.”
Jennifer went on to explain that one of her friends said she should DM Ariana, “I thought it was such a good imitation and I was like, ‘No, she’s got like 260 million followers. Those are robots. The robots answer the DMs! We will never ever get to her.’ And I did it anyway and then this response came back. Next thing you know, I was going to her house getting fit for wardrobe for ‘Thank U Next.’”
