We ran into this guy way back in the day stepping out in the Big Apple, and the guy naturally blended into the hustle and bustle of New York City ... in a borderline Oscar-winning performance!

He didn't have an Academy Award at the time, though ... he had to wait until 2023 to pick up one of those!

Published | Updated

"Wicked" fans were dancing through the movie theater Friday in their cutest Glinda-fied and grungy greenified costumes to watch the big premiere of "Wicked: For Good."

TMZ headed to Los Angeles' iconic The Grove shopping center Friday, and it's safe to say the costumes were wicked good -- just check out our gallery! We even found actress Teala Dunn and her mom ready to watch.

Fans went all out ... from green ponchos and ruffled pink dresses to on-theme green and pink drinks, fans were thrilled to get into character to watch the follow-up to 2024's "Wicked." Extra points go to The Grove for displaying costumes worn by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo during filming and adding a yellow brick leading to the theater.

"Wicked" blew up the box office last year, and it's looking to set a record this year, with a projected $151.5 million opening, per Deadline. Friday's premiere and Thursday's previews already raked in $68.6 million ... which blows last year's sales out of Shiz.

Fans are already raving about "Wicked: For Good" online, giving it a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 96%. Notably, critics are being a bit harder, rating it a 70% as of Saturday morning.

Regardless, it sounds like 'For Good' is going to be a massive success and will cement itself as a major moment in the pop culture timeline.

Check out the clip -- she told Jimmy she's a bit rusty ... and then effortlessly twirled her wand around, totally impressing the audience. It seems like playing Glinda certainly changed Ariana for good -- at least in the wand department!

Dick Van Dyke How'd I Live To 99? Just Ask My Wife, She Keeps Me Young!

Published

Dick Van Dyke's less than a month away from becoming a centenarian ... and he says one of the secrets to his longevity is his wife, Arlene Silver!

The actor spoke about his spouse's role in his long, long life in an excerpt from his new book "100 Rules for Living to 100" -- released on Tuesday -- and he credited Arlene with making him feel "somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters my age," reports Fox News.

FYI ... Van Dyke and Silver met in 2006 when she was working as a makeup artist at the SAG Awards.

The actor was previously married to his first wife, Margie Willett, from 1948 to 1984, and he was in a long-term relationship with Michelle Triola, which lasted until her death in 2009.

Van Dyke eventually began dating Silver, who worked as his makeup artist, and they ended up tying the knot in 2012.

Although there's a 48-year age gap between the two -- Silver's only 54 years old -- Van Dyke never really took the difference into consideration, and he apparently told her she'd keep him "feeling young forever" during a discussion recorded for his book.

Plus, the actor said his wife was the one who kept him from becoming curmudgeonly in his old age ... and if it hasn't happened by now, it'll probably never happen!

In any case, we're incredibly happy to see Van Dyke's still feeling young ... here's to the next 100, Dick!
