As a longtime fan of the captivating world of mystery, comedy, and drama that is “Only Murders in the Building,” I must say that this show has truly become a beacon of joy and anticipation in my weekly viewing schedule. The intricate plots, the witty humor, the emotional depth, and the delightful rumors surrounding the cast have all contributed to the show’s enduring charm.
For four seasons running, the hit mystery comedy-drama Only Murders in the Building has captured hearts for numerous reasons. From each season’s intriguing murder mysteries and satisfying resolutions, to humor, emotional depth, and rumors of a blossoming romance between Martin Short and Meryl Streep off-screen – it’s hard not to become a fan. A significant factor behind the show’s popularity is its star-studded cast, particularly the trio featuring Short, Selena Gomez, and Steve Martin. However, it may come as a surprise that Gomez initially felt “nervous” when joining the series.
What Did Selena Gomez Say About Being Nervous When Starting Only Murders In The Building With Steve Martin And Martin Short?
It might seem surprising to picture someone who’s been a household name for nearly half their life, such as Selena Gomez (who rose to fame in Wizards of Waverly Place), feeling anxious when interacting or collaborating with other prominent celebrities. This is especially unexpected given that many enthusiasts of Only Murders in the Building believe that the charming trio consisting of Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin truly elevate the show’s mystery each season, making it a beloved watch for fans everywhere.
The chemistry between them, both on and off set, is incredibly strong and exceeds all expectations. During a recent interview on The Jess Cagle Show, Gomez was asked about the time it took to form a close bond with long-time friends/collaborators Short and Martin, and her response was a delightful revelation:
To put it simply, it took us about a week to bond due to their supportive nature. I was quite apprehensive at first, but their authenticity made it easy for me to connect with them and understand them better. They are straightforward individuals, which I appreciate. Moreover, they have a wealth of experience that comes with age – things that seem trivial no longer matter to them, and that’s refreshing. The weekend when I realized this was particularly memorable. We were seated together, and they invited me to sit closer, saying “You should always be with us.” It was a touching moment, and from then on, I considered them great friends.
Wow! It’s not surprising at all that the two comedy icons were so welcoming and friendly towards Gomez during their first week on the show. Their display of support has unexpectedly softened my long-held cynical attitude, almost causing a few tears to well up. You wouldn’t believe it!
Initially, Emilia Pérez openly expressed feeling “honored” to collaborate with the renowned duo. It’s understandable that she might have felt some nervousness, given the unique nature of the project and the fact that she was working alongside heavyweights like Short and Martin. Interestingly, Short himself had shared earlier that he wasn’t completely certain about teaming up with the “Love On” vocalist, as he was somewhat apprehensive she might turn out to be a “pop princess headache.
Fortunately, any initial apprehensions swiftly vanished, paving the way for the blossoming of their three-friendship as we know it today. When queried about balancing her work on the daring Netflix musical alongside her commitments to OMITB, Gomez responded:
In a less dramatic manner, during my time on the set of Only Murders, which feels like home to me, I was reminded by Paul that I had meticulously organized my script pages, highlighted, and written out each one. This small detail brings back memories and makes me incredibly happy since Steve and Marty are true legends in their own right, and I feel both comfortable portraying Mabel and proud of this accomplishment.
Indeed…YIPPEE! It’s delightful news that the series will persist into Season 5, ensuring that this endearing bond between friends can carry on without interruption for a while longer.
