The Wicked star also revealed she has a little gift in her bag that was presented to her from an adoring fan.
‘This is actually a lovely little thing that a fan gave to me at the Wicked premiere in LA,’ she shared.

The keepsake apparently is full of drawings and quotes relating to the hit film that earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.
