I’m not kidding,\u201d Grande shared. \u201cI don’t know if I’m allowed to say this, but I have to say it because you’re gonna laugh your ass off \u2014 my character’s a triathlete.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grande is playing the role of Olivia Jones in the upcoming film, whom star Ben Stiller<\/a> has previously shared will be linked to his fictional son in the movie.<\/p>\n\u201cI spent yesterday doing burpees and high knees with Robert De Niro<\/a>,\u201d Grande said of her costar. \u201cAnd he’s like, \u2018Good job, Olivia. Good job.\u2019 And it’s like, the craziest, the most humiliating man. I’m like, what is this movie? What are we doing? But I’m having a blast. It’s like it’s really special.\u201d<\/p>\nOf her character, Grande noted, \u201cShe’s a lot of things. But a triathlete is one of them. There’s also a lot of biking in this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calling creator Stiller, 59, \u201can Olympian,\u201d Grande shared that he and De Niro, 82, are regularly working out on set.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I’m on the set of the Avengers. Between him and Bob, Mr. De Niro\u2026,\u201d Grande said before Poehler questioned whether De Niro was running in the mornings.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes! At like, 4, 3:30,\u201d Grande confirmed. \u201cBut I do love a good morning Pilates moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Back in October, Grande shared photos from the Focker In-Law set to Instagram, writing, \u201cThese past few months have been so, so unimaginably special. i love my Fockers, and i love my Byrnes\u2026 so, so very much \u2661 i will miss this bunch terribly. see you next november ! \u2661\u201d<\/p>\n
During a pre-taped interview with Sheinelle Jones on the Today <\/a>show on Nov. 18, Grande also praised her time on the comedy set.<\/p>\n\u201cIt was truly spectacular. I have grown up adoring Ben,\u201d she said. \u201cEvery single person in the cast, I have grown up worshiping. So to be able to work with them and share creative space with them was a dream come true.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
