Ariana Grande Joins Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro at the Focker-In-Law Premiere in New York
The Fockers are back, and this time Ariana Grande is part of the family.
Universal Pictures held the world premiere of Focker-In-Law on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Beacon Theatre in New York. Deadline's red carpet gallery shows Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Owen Wilson on the carpet, with Grande attending alongside Ricky Álvarez.
The film is the newest chapter in the Meet the Parents series. Ben Stiller returns as Greg Focker and Robert De Niro returns as Jack Byrnes, joined again by Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner and Teri Polo.
Grande plays Olivia, the girlfriend of Greg's son Henry, played by Skyler Gisondo. Beanie Feldstein and Eduardo Franco round out the cast. In the official trailer, Olivia is strapped to Jack's famous lie detector and asked whether she loves Henry. Later, Henry tells his dad he plans to propose, which sets off a whole new round of family tests.
John Hamburg wrote and directed the film. He co-wrote the three earlier Meet the Parents movies.
The premiere comes a few months after Grande said in August that she would step back from public-facing work once her Eternal Sunshine tour wrapped in September, while still keeping the commitments she had already made. Promoting Focker-In-Law is one of them.
Focker-In-Law opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 25, just in time for Thanksgiving week.
