A wild scene unfolded at the Asia-Pacific premiere of Wicked: For Good in Singapore on Thursday night when a notorious serial intruder, Johnson Wen, also known as β€œPyjama Man,” jumped a barricade and ran straight toward Ariana Grande on the red carpet.

Video footage from the event shows Wen lunging forward and hugging Ariana before Cynthia Erivo quickly shoved him away and shielded her co-star. Security rushed in moments later, tackling Wen to the ground and escorting him out as the crowd gasped.

The intruder β€” infamous for crashing celebrity events, including Katy Perry’s Sydney concert β€” was immediately arrested by Singapore authorities.

The moment sparked a mix of concern and applause online, with fans praising Erivo for her quick reaction and protective instincts. β€œCynthia moved like a true friend and bodyguard!” one fan tweeted.

Other Wicked cast members, including Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum, witnessed the chaos firsthand as the incident raised fresh concerns about security at major international premieres.

Despite the brief disruption, the event continued, with both Grande and Erivo later waving to fans and thanking security for their fast response.

The premiere marked a major moment for Universal Studios Singapore, but the bizarre encounter served as a reminder that celebrity safety is no small production β€” especially with serial event crashers like β€œPyjama Man” still on the loose.
