Selena Gomez Reflects on Meryl Streep’s Inspiring Presence on Only Murders in the Building Set That Strengthened Her Love for Her Craft: ‘I Want That Spirit’

As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for Hollywood gossip and a deep appreciation for the arts, I must confess that Selena Gomez’s admiration for Meryl Streep is not only heartwarming but also deeply inspiring. Having had the privilege of observing their dynamic from afar, I can’t help but be swept off my feet by the mutual respect and camaraderie these two powerhouse artists share.


Selena Gomez continues to show excitement and admiration for her Only Murders in the Building co-star Meryl Streep, as the artist and actress shares insights about the wisdom she’s gained from working alongside this legendary figure on the Hulu series over the past year.

Originally, Gomez expressed her admiration for the actress from “The Devil Wears Prada” when she started working alongside her, mostly watching from afar without much interaction. Now, however, she’s complimenting the seasoned actress on her impressive professionalism and dedication to her craft.

In an interview with Elle, Gomez shared his recollection of working alongside Meryl Streep on set. He described trying to capture her side so she could leave and rest for the following day. However, as the day was wrapping up, he said she asked, “Why aren’t we turning around?” To which they replied, “We’ll do that tomorrow.” But instead of going home, Streep insisted, saying, “I must come in; I should be there for them,” indicating her dedication to her team.

She called Streep’s concern for others “elegant” and revealed that it was then when she understood the legend’s deep admiration and dedication to her profession.

For me, witnessing Meryl Streep singing without shoes on set, genuinely content in her craft, was a truly inspiring moment. I aspire to embody that same passion, always loving what I do and being there for others, just like she does. (Disney alumnus speaking)

Previously, Gomez expressed admiration for her fellow actor in an interview with Hollywood Reporter. After receiving her first Emmy acting nomination, the founder of Rare Beauty praised Streep as someone who possesses remarkable talent yet remains humble, professional, and compassionate.

Seeing Streep, who plays Broadway star Loretta Durkin in OMITB, was particularly memorable for Gomez. She called it a favorite moment from her time on the show. Watching Streep perform a cappella on stage moved Gomez to tears. Though she wasn’t in the scene, the Calm Down singer said she was completely rapt seeing Meryl do her job.

“Just the way she commits to her craft in every way is remarkable. It was beautiful,” she shared.

All four seasons of Only Murders in the Building can be streamed on Hulu.
