Sorry what’s up w the Ethan slater stuff? I know him only from your posts / SpongeBob stuff
HI HELLO please buckle in
yep -- the same guy from the spongebob musical, and my posts abut the spongebob musical.
he blew up completely and now the general public knows him as 'ariana grande's new boyfriend' - their relationship seems to have started off the back of co-starring in the upcoming wicked musical film adaptation.
it's just been like. a monkey's paw curling sort of a way for him to get catapulted to fame, as i had always really enjoyed him as a performer (as spongebob, yes, but also in the other roles i'd seen him in,) and my biggest hope back around 2017 was that he would continue in and be really successful in theatre, get a lot of broadway roles, maybe take on some existing parts i thought he'd really suit, like seymour in little shop or ogie in waitress.......... but instead he booked the role of boq from wicked in a massive hollywood film production instead, where he met ariana grande. THE ariana grande.
and then yeah. at some point, he and grande broke up with their respective partners, (slater leaving both his wife AND newborn son) jumped into a new relationship, and now the whole wider internet knows who he is but certainly not for the right reasons.
there's been speculation regarding whether or not grande and slater had cheated on their previous partners before their relationship began with various sources coming out of the woodwork saying "yes they did" and others saying "no they didn't" -- humans are all perfectly capable of making stuff up, the media especially, so i simply don't know who to trust and i admit it had completely shattered my whole good impression of him - PLUS it gave the wider internet an absolutely awful first impression of him, resulting in, yeah, the (frankly, unflattering, sometimes downright cruel) memes of him popping up on twitter and, as i discovered yesterday, in non-theatre youtubers' videos who would literally never have heard of him if not for the slater-grande romance 🥲
FULL COVERAGE of the situation as it was happening can all be found on the lovely @notasimpleslater's blog under the tag 'ozgate' if you want to delve deeper!
Really interesting perspective from Jimoh himself — obviously there's a certain amount of expectation that he won't say "I hated this plotline" etc, but hearing some of his thoughts about how the plotline was originally conceived and how he, himself, has been thinking about being a Black footballer in the wake of several racist incidents was helpful. Might be something other folks want to read!
ETA: ohhh my god until it posted I didn't see the thumbnail headline which is... "Toheeb Jimoh on Sam's racism storyline in Ted Lasso season 3" and what even is that, not that the actual headline of "Toheeb Jimoh on Ted Lasso season 3's ripped-from-the-headlines racism storyline" is MUCH BETTER, jesus christ GQ what the fuck. Anyway, Jimoh is very worth listening to even if the writer/headline-maker isn't.
I stopped recording for moment (ig to get pics?) so it’s not exactly the full thing, BUT there’s bonus at the end with Alex reaching out to the front row :3
