While praising Ari's dedication and comedic talent, the 32-year-old Broadway alum shared, "Ariana as an artist is really locked in, and she's unbelievably funny."
"She's the funniest person on the planet," he added, per Entertainment Tonight.
Ethan attributes the pop star's brilliant comedic timing to her deep immersion in the character of Glinda.
"She's really locked into the character, so every take is like that," he continued, adding that Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the flick, "is the same."
