In the wild world of fame, Selena Gomez shines as the poster child for humility. She is not just a pop sensation but also carries a soft spot for Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai. Gomez, riding high on her acting passion, dove into the acting scene with her Hulu hit, Only Murders in the Building alongside Meryl Streep. Working with Streep was like catching lightning in a bottle for Gomez, injecting a dose of magic into her artistic journey.

Recently in the AFI luncheon, Gomez and Streep shared more than just a meal; a moment practically dipped in stardust. Instagram became Gomez’s canvas as she painted a picture of gratitude for her ‘idol’ and co-star, Streep. 

An ode by Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez’s journey from teary-eyed admiration during Streep’s rehearsals to raising a toast is nothing short of a star-studded saga. Gomez wore her heart on her sleeve, openly declaring Meryl Streep as her true idol, showering her with adoration and looking up to her like a beacon of inspiration. The Instagram story became Gomez’s personal stage, a virtual theater where she showcased her deep-seated respect for Streep, sharing a captivating snapshot from the AFI Awards.

In the caption, Gomez spun magic with her words, proclaiming Streep not just as an idol but also a wonderful soul. The photo was a visual symphony, capturing the essence of Gomez’s gratitude. She felt blessed to have Streep in her orbit. The story unfolded like a heartfelt ode, with Gomez extending her thanks to Streep for consistently making her ‘seen and heard,’ transforming the Hollywood narrative into a tale of admiration and genuine connection.

In Gomez’s Hollywood journey, Meryl Streep did not just play a role; she was the magic wand that made the world a better place for Gomez. However, a misconception lingered among Gomez’s co-stars- they had a preconceived notion that she might be annoying and high-maintenance.

The hilarious notion of Gomez

Gomez, who is all set to star in Linda Ronstadt biopic spilled the beans on her tight-knit connection with Steve Martin and Martin Short, her co-stars in the Hulu series. When quizzed about whether she sensed any intimidation from the seasoned duo, the ‘Come and Get It’ sensation humbly dismissed the notion. She emphasized her status as a relative newcomer in the industry.

Gomez playfully acknowledged that, compared to the iconic duo, she fell short on the coolness scale. Moreover, she considered herself a “newbie” still finding her footing. According to her, Martin and Short never hinted at intimidation but rather, amusingly, thought she might be “annoying and high-maintenance.” The singer wittily concluded that if she managed to win their approval, she must not be any of those things.
