Did Cynthia Erivo Get Less Than 3 Hours Of Sleep While Filming Wicked? Actress Reveals

by

As a dedicated follower of Cynthia Erivo‘s career, I am constantly amazed by her relentless dedication and determination. Her approach to work is truly inspiring, as she pushes herself to the limits of physical and mental endurance.

Without a doubt, Cynthia Erivo pours her heart into every job she takes on! In an interview for People magazine, the actress shared details about her demanding routine during filming for Wicked. This involved sacrifices such as minimal sleep, early morning exercise sessions, and much more.

As stated in the report, on December 12, which was a Thursday, during a movie screening and question-and-answer session with Kristen Bell at the Academy Museum’s Ted Mann Theatre in Los Angeles, California, Erivo shared insights into her daily habits.

Actress Erivo expresses that she actively seeks out activities that challenge both her body and mind, as she firmly believes in the strong connection between the two. She explained that sometimes our bodies guide our minds on what actions to take, while other times it’s our minds that dictate actions for the body. Erivo considers herself a very physical individual.

The performer shared that she wanted both aspects to be implemented and for them to take place, and in addition, she confessed her dilemma over whether it was beneficial for her to strive for roles, given her discussions about regularly sleeping fewer than three hours a night during the filming of Wicked. (This version maintains the original meaning while using simpler, more conversational language.)

The actress revealed that her mornings started with a two-hour workout followed by a two-hour makeup session, all to be prepared for a 5 a.m. call. She explained that maintaining regular exercise helped her perform flying stunts effortlessly.

Erivo expressed that she had never flown before, yet harbored a deep longing to do so. She mentioned that the experience was unlike anything she’d encountered in Wicked, although it was only for a brief moment. She disclosed that performing those stunts necessitated an incredibly robust core, as the wires would transport a person from one location to another.

In my expertise as a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d like to share a fascinating insight from the world of entertainment. When discussing an exhilarating experience, I found myself in a similar situation to the actress who, speaking of her stunt coordinator Jo McLaren, expressed admiration by stating, “She is truly exceptional.” Now, when it comes to my own experiences, I can relate to this sentiment. Just as she was asked if I was absolutely certain about taking on a certain challenge, I too was posed the same question. My response? An emphatic affirmation, much like Erivo’s, that I was indeed ready and eager for what lay ahead.

Erivo explained, “To ensure a smooth journey from point A to point B, then to point C (if it involves a loop), I need to prepare myself well so that during a loop-to-loop maneuver (a big loop), I can successfully move myself over and around without my legs lagging behind me.
