    Cynthia Erivo hasn't "even dared to write" her ambitions for 2026

    The 38-year-old actress has enjoyed huge success this year, starring in Wicked: For Good and releasing her best-selling memoir, Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They're Too Much - but Cynthia hasn't written down specific ambitions for 2026.


    She told The Hollywood Reporter: "My mind has been blown several times.

    "To this point, I still haven't even dared to write the list [for 2026] because at this point, I'm sort of like, 'What have you got?'"

    Despite this, Cynthia does have one specific ambition for next year.

    She said: "I managed to sneak a week off to go and do Paris Fashion Week.

    "I've always had to do one day or two days in that rush off and go do something, but this year I asked to have the full week off to go and be in Paris. That is what I want to do, so that's what I'm going to do."

    Cynthia recently revealed that she "made a pact" with Ariana Grande before shooting the Wicked movies.

    In her book, entitled Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They're Too Much, Cynthia explained: "Before Wicked really started rolling, Ariana and I made a pact with each other.

    "We committed to protecting and caring for each other through this process. We hear often how female costars -¬ or really, any costars -¬ can sometimes let their egos get in the way until they battle each other, destroying the creative process for everyone involved. We were determined to do the opposite."

    Cynthia believes she shares a "strong synergy" with her co-star, who has become a close friend in recent years.

    The London-born actress - who also stars alongside Jonathan Bailey in the money-spinning movie franchise - said: 'We were always looking out for each other. Our partnership was important. We shared a strong synergy, a commitment to authenticity, and that, combined with the natural connection we fostered both on and off set, allowed us to support each other emotionally and professionally."
