Imagine having a high school sweetheart, getting married, having a baby, and leaving her for pop star Ariana Grande. That’s what Ethan Slater did. But that’s not what’s scary about him. It’s his eyes. His wide, unblinking, piercing eyes. He got his fame on Broadway, after performing as SpongeBob SquarePants. Aside from his goofy “Nyahahahah” and his slacks, he’s a professional movie star now. His years in theatre training, which trains him to project expressions to the very far back audience, looks deeply intense and uncomfortable up close. Something about the glint in his eyes, the way the cameras always give them a red glow and an eerie shine. He even plays horrifying roles, like in Wicked: For Good when he played a character named Boq. Boq undergoes a transformation from a human into a tin man. This is the same movie series where he met Ariana Grande. And 3 years later, they broke up, they didn’t even last. What a truly terrifying man, Ethan Slater.
