Michelle Yeoh: Last News

Wicked—the big-screen adaptation of the blockbuster musical—was announced, there was one name that really stood out…We’ve all been bopping along to Ariana Grande’s music for the past decade, Cynthia Erivo’s showstopping vocals made her one of most sought-after names in the industry, Bowen Yang is one of the breakout players on SNL, Michelle Yeoh was fresh off her well-deserved Oscar win, and Jonathan Bailey… well, everyone’s got a crush on him!So, who then was Ethan Slater? As the sweet-natured Munchkin Boq, Slater was one of the least well-known of the film’s main ensemble—at least to general audiences—with no prior major screen credits to his name.Subscribe to our daily newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.With queer stars Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, and Cynthia Erivo among the cast, ‘Wicked’ is already shaping up to be something special.However, Broadway fans were very familiar—they knew him as SpongeBob Squarepants! That is, he played the titular role in the buzzy musical version of the beloved cartoon character who lives in a pineapple under the sea.Of course, post-Wicked announcement, it wasn’t long until Slater’s name was everywhere: After tabloids noticed him spending a lot of time with Ariana Grande, the actor filed for divorce from his wife of five years (they had a son together in 2022), and soon theco-stars were officially dating. Now everyone wants to know Slater’s business—which is presumably why a random clip from a 2017 short of his has resurfaced on the internet and is raising plenty of eyebrows.
