AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez, 32, has expressed her admiration for Meryl Streep, 75, after working alongside her in the third season of "Only Murders in the Building". Gomez described her first encounter with Streep on set as starstruck.
"She was so excited and when she came on set, she told everybody that she loves the show," Gomez recalled to The Hollywood Reporter. "I don't even think I spoke the first day she was around. I was just admiring her."
Streep's professionalism and talent left a lasting impression on Gomez. "She's an inspiration, and she's someone who is incredibly talented while being very humble, professional, and kind," she said. "I've learned so much from her just by her being Meryl."
Gomez shared a particularly moving moment when she witnessed Streep singing live. "My favorite moment was watching Meryl sing onstage. That was chilling. She would do it a cappella, live every time, and I cried," she said. "Just the way she commits to her craft in every way is remarkable. It was beautiful."
Gomez also teased the upcoming fourth season of "Only Murders in the Building". "I think this is our most exciting season yet," she said. "It was far too fun. How it came together was so magical. Everyone had a blast. And people are in for a ride, you know. Taking us to L.A. and then doing all the other stuff is exciting."
