Washington: The 32-year-old actress, nominated for outstanding actress in a comedy series for her role in ‘Only Murders in the Building’, shared her experience with The Hollywood Reporter.
Gomez said Martin and Short sent her a bouquet of flowers to celebrate her achievement.
“I got flowers from Martin Short and Steve Martin,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
He added, “I’m in LA, Marty’s always around the world and Steve’s in New York. So, obviously, we can’t be together, but we’ll celebrate when we’re together again.”
Reflecting on the nomination, Gomez called it “crazy” and expressed gratitude to be part of a show that received so much recognition.
“I’m honored to be on a show that’s been recognized. I feel very lucky because there are so many great shows and it’s an honor to even be considered for an opportunity like this,” she said. “In my mind, I feel like I’ve already won.”
In a recent Instagram post, Gomez shared a throwback photo of herself with Martin, 78, and Short, 74, from her 32nd birthday on July 22.
“Upon reflection I realize that on my 32nd birthday I am so grateful that I am surrounded by people who make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift,” he wrote.
“This is my true happiness. I thank God for the era I am in. This is the best era ever,” she said.
Earlier this year, Martin and Short praised Gomez’s talent and work ethic in an interview with People magazine.
“I think it’s going to go even deeper,” Short said of her friendship with Gomez.
“She’s such a lovely person, she’s so remarkable as a talent, and she has an aura and a lovely soul. Our friendship just keeps growing,” he added.
Martin also highlighted Gomez’s professionalism, saying, “We didn’t really know Selena, we didn’t know what we were getting into.” Martin said.
“I knew she had a great personality, she was very smart. But she was never late,” Short agreed, noting the importance of punctuality in her profession.
“And that’s a big deal when you’re making a movie,” Martin said. “She’s moving in the right direction… We’re all in step with each other. It’s great. But it also gives you a sense of her personality and her professionalism.”
‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 4 premieres August 27 on Hulu.
