Martin Short recently shared his experience working with Meryl Streep on the set of Only Murders in the Building. Despite Meryl’s legendary status in Hollywood, Martin revealed that even she gets nervous on the first day of shooting. He recalled feeling nervous himself when he realized he would be working with Meryl, but was surprised to learn that she was feeling the same way.
During a break from filming a scene together, Meryl confided in Martin that her nerves were at half, which made Martin appreciate her humility and dedication to her craft even more. This revelation made Martin think that perhaps one of the reasons Meryl is considered the greatest actress of all time is because she never takes anything for granted and always approaches her work with a sense of humility.
Although there have been rumors of a romance between Martin and Meryl, both actors have denied them, emphasizing instead the deep friendship they have developed while working together. Martin described their friendship as one that continues to grow, especially when you work with someone you love.
The bond between the cast members of Only Murders in the Building is strong, with Selena Gomez describing the relationship between Martin and Meryl as sweet, and Steve Martin expressing his admiration for Meryl as a friend to all. Despite their long-standing friendship, Martin admitted that working with Selena was a new experience for him, and he jokingly mentioned that he is “madly in love” with her, just like the rest of the world.
While Martin and Steve’s friendship has remained unchanged over the years, Selena’s addition to the cast has brought a new dynamic to their working relationship. The camaraderie among the core three stars is evident both on and off-screen, creating a positive and supportive environment for everyone involved in the show.
Overall, Martin’s reflections on working with Meryl and the rest of the cast of Only Murders in the Building highlight the importance of humility, friendship, and love in the entertainment industry. Despite their success and fame, these actors value their relationships with each other and approach their work with a sense of gratitude and appreciation. Their bond both on and off-screen is a testament to the power of collaboration and connection in creating memorable and meaningful art.
