Ariana Grande, Robert De Niro, and Ben Stiller recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about their movie, Focker-in-Law. Interestingly, this is also where the singer first met De Niro nearly 11 years ago. Jimmy Fallon even brought out the decades-old selfie of Grande and De Niro.

“Look at how cute and little wierd,” she said.

“I was so excited. I asked him for a selfie. You were so nice to my mom,” she recalled.

Grande admitted in the show that she was excited about the selfie. De Niro has also previously praised the actress and her work. In an interview with the Today show, he shared that he had yet to watch the Wicked movies. But he shared that he plans to watch them with his daughter.

“No, I haven’t. I’m trying to see it with my daughter,” he said.

“Yeah, she’s terrific. She’s great,” he added.

While it is not known whether De Niro has had time to watch the Wicked movies, the new film starring both Grande and De Niro will soon be arrriving on the big screen.

What is Focker-in-Law?

Focker-in-Law is the fourth film in the Focker movie franchise. The film follows Greg and Pam Focker’s son, Henry, who wants to marry Olivia Jones. However, his family believes that she is not the right match for him.

Both Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller are returning to reprise their roles in the sequel to the 2010 movie Little Fockers. This will also be the first time Grande and De Niro have worked together on a project. The movie will be released on November 25, 2026. This is certainly the perfect holiday movie to watch this year. Whether the trio’s comedy wins hearts remains to be seen.
