After her firstOscarwin andTony Awardshosting gig,Ariana DeBoseis doing a victory “lap”!
The actress and singer performed a hilarious audience-celebrating musical number during the 2022 Tonys Sunday night, interacting with members of the crowd — includingAndrew Garfield, who looked sheepish from his seat in the audience as DeBose, 31, approached him.
“I am close to you, oh so close to you / I am touching you, there’s not a lot that you can do,” she belted, poking a laughing Garfield, 38, in the face.
She then made herself at home in his lap as he wrapped his arms around her and she continued singing, “I’m sitting on you / ‘cause what they say is true / ‘cause there is no escaping us in the audience!”
