Martin Short Opens Up About Working With Meryl Streep on Only Murders Set (Exclusive)
It doesn’t take a detective to find out if a text is from Steve Martin.
After all, the Only Murders in the Building star shared insight into his decision to reintroduce himself to anyone he’s texting, including costar Selena Gomez.
“In case my number doesn’t come up,” Steve exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi of his reasoning. “I always like to know. Sometimes, I get a text and I have no idea who it is.”
Since the Pink Panther actor doesn’t always have other people’s phone numbers saved, he feels that identifying himself can be helpful.
As for what the 80-year-old messages to Selena, despite the actress likely having his phone number in her contacts? He revealed, “I go, ‘It’s Steve.'”
While Steve may continue to reintroduce himself to Martin Short and Selena in texts, the “Who Says” singer will always have a special place for him, both on and off her phone. (For more with Steve, Selena and Martin, tune into E! News tonight Sept. 2 at 11 p.m.)
